I had heard great things about Kenny Atkinson’s Solstice but was sadly quite disappointed. The sauces felt overpowering in most of the dishes. Our least favourite course was the fried chicken skin first course which was very heavy and oily. Overall the course felt interesting but not well balanced. It also felt like they were overcomplicating certain dishes in order to make it sound more ‘fancy’ and impressive. One nice thing was that the chef himself would come and present some of the dishes explaining the different steps in the cooking.
