Almost everything that we tasted from the Tasting Menu was good but still lacked the “Wow Factor” that should have been associated with a brand of the stature of The Sassy Spoon which has won several awards. However, these dishes are a part of the New Menu that has been introduced at The Sassy Spoon, there is a scope of tweaking these dishes to elevate the taste. The dishes from the Regular Menu continue to be served and surely there might be a lot of Winners there.
Overall, it was a mixed feeling when we were done with the Tasting, a happy one but with the queer feeling of not really being a soul satisfying experience.
Special Thanks to Sasha Anand and Polemo Social for inviting us for the food tasting.
