Black Roe

spent our new year's eve dinner at Black Roa Mayfair. The service was nice, but we felt like they really wanted us gone pretty quickly, as they were rushing to get empty plates as soon as we finished our meals. The food was awesome though! We shared three starters - dumplings, gyozas and the squid, all were incredibly tasty! For main I had the beef and beans with rice and I loved it! Would totally recommend! Best thing though was the dessert, chocolate fondant cake, which was the best chocolate fondant cake I've ever had in my life! In my opinion the food prices are fine, but the drinks are just pathetically overpriced! The atmosphere inside was interesting, a little too dark and try hard chic. Watching people around us was really entertaining though, cause they all looked so bored and tried hard to seem like they didn't care about their 50£ lobster with mac and cheese.

Went there for lunch, ordered poke as well as some gratin oysters. I was mostly interested in the poke and they did not disappoint. Fishes were fresh and sauce was nice but slightly too spicy. Didn’t know there would be so much cucumbers in the poke so I had to pick out all the cucumbers. Gratin oysters were OK, too much cheese, oyster to cheese ratio was like 1:10. Great option for a light poke lunch as their pokes are reasonably priced.
