WHAT WE ATE...
It was a cold night so I decided to have a comforting dish, the ‘Braised Wagyu Beef Cheek – ragout of autumn mushrooms, baby onions braised in port wine, celeriac purĂ©e, sauce bordelaise ($45.00)’. The beef pulled away easily with my fork and was delicious. The onions added sweetness to the dish and the sauce was exceptional. The celeriac purĂ©e was gorgeous, but would have loved to see more generosity of this element on the dish.  


My dining companion opted for a seafood dish, ‘The Atlantic Beer Battered Fish and Chips – russet Burbank chips, lemon, tartare sauce ($38.00)’. Inside the cone was a bounty of crunchy chips and two succulent fillets of fish. The tartare sauce was marvellous with a good hit of acidity.


WHAT WE DRANK…
We started the night with some cocktails… I chose the ‘Strawberry Caipirovska – Absolut Vodka, Monin strawberry shaken with fresh strawberries, lime and sugar ($20.00)’. My dining companion picked the ‘Passionfruit Mojito – Havana Club 3 year Rum, with an explosion of passionfruit and mint, soda water ($24.00).


OVERALL…
For date night, we dined at The Atlantic, which is part of the Crown Entertainment Complex at Southbank. Executive Chef, Donovan Cooke, has created a fine dining, seafood restaurant that is perfect for a romantic night with your loved one. Although the restaurant focuses on jewels of the ocean, there are plenty of options for vegetarians and carnivores too. A wonderful place to dine in Southbank…
