点评:The Funky Monk is a hotel and restaurant situated along Epping High Road. We were greeted with friendly warmth by Albie and shown to a table of our choice. The decor is quite plush with intriguing wall lights and recessed lighting giving a romantic glow. The background music was pleasant and smooth. Armed with an Aperol Spritz and Pornstar Martini, we made our selection from quite a wide-ranging menu. Our starters comprised of seared scallops; chilli king prawns; and chicken liver parfait. All were perfectly prepared and presented with sublime flavours. For our mains we had a half lobster and fries; a prawn and crab linguine; and mahi mahi fish. Again, the flavours were great, and the preparation was faultless. This was baptised with a crisp Chenin Blanc, which complemented our meal splendidly. I then found room for dessert: apple tart drizzled with Amaretto. We concluded this culinary spectacular with lemon tea, cappuccino, black Americano, and black Sambucas. Plus, complimentary Sambucas from our gracious hosts - thanks, Albie. What made our dining experience unforgettable, apart for the exemplary cuisine, was the chat and banter with Albie and the staff. Thanks to all at Funky Monk for a great night in food, music, chat, and laughter. Our compliments to the talented chefs in the 'hott room' for their artistic endeavours. Based on this standard of service, friendliness, and culinary excellence, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant to all who love good food and service in a convivial atmosphere. Bye for now and, until the next time, keep smiling.
翻译:Funky Monk 是一家位于 Epping High Road 的酒店和餐厅。Albie 热情友好地迎接了我们,并带我们到自己选择的餐桌旁。餐厅装潢非常豪华,迷人的壁灯和嵌入式灯具营造出浪漫的氛围。背景音乐悦耳动听。我们端上了 Aperol Spritz 和 Pornstar Martini,从种类繁多的菜单中挑选了自己喜欢的菜品。我们的开胃菜包括煎扇贝、辣椒大虾和鸡肝冻。所有菜品都经过精心烹制,味道绝佳。主菜有半只龙虾和薯条、虾蟹意面和鲯鳅。同样,味道很棒,烹制也无可挑剔。主菜搭配了一杯爽口的白诗南葡萄酒,与我们的餐点相得益彰。然后我吃了甜点:淋上杏仁酒的苹果馅饼。我们用柠檬茶、卡布奇诺、黑美式咖啡和黑桑布卡结束了这场美食盛宴。此外,我们亲切的主人还免费赠送了桑布卡——谢谢,阿尔比。除了出色的美食,与阿尔比和员工的聊天和玩笑也让我们的用餐体验难以忘怀。感谢 Funky Monk 的所有人,让我们度过了一个充满美食、音乐、聊天和欢笑的美好夜晚。我们向“hott room”的才华横溢的厨师们致敬,感谢他们的艺术创作。基于这种服务标准、友好和烹饪卓越,我会毫不犹豫地向所有喜欢在欢乐氛围中享受美食和服务的人推荐这家餐厅。再见,下次见,保持微笑。
