Loved this place! Such a fun idea to be able to pick and cook your own meats. My boyfriend and I split the Meat Lover's choice & also added spring rolls. It was PLENTY of food! The meats were nicely seasoned and marinated which made them very flavorful. The service was also excellent. Our server explained how to cook each meat, and for how long, constantly refilled our waters, and was very attentive overall.
We went to Underbelly for our wedding anniversary and let our server and the chef pick our courses. It...was...awesome. After we finished the house cured prosciutto starter we were sure it was going to be the highlight of the evening, but by the time dinner was done, it came in a distant third to the red snapper with mushroom dashi and the duck course. We spent more time talking about the food than our decade of marriage. Can't recommend this place enough.
So good!! We love this place. The service is outstanding (our waitress accomodated allergies no problem and even helped us through the menu to find what dishes we would like best). The food they say is spicy, definitely does have a kick to it, but they taste DIVINE. Such good flavors. It's amazing how they can do so many cuisines so creatively and well!!
The bread with leek butter was the best thing we ate here. It was REALLY GOOD bread, though. The jalapeno cheddar sausage with blackened okra was pretty good. The alligator with jasmine rice was not good. It was described to us as fried alligator in a sauce similar to general tso sauce. It was way too spicy and in NO way was sweet heart with a vinegary touch. I love spicy food; but I want to taste other flavors too. Couldn't taste anything. (When I say I love spicy I mean I love Thai spicy where I get my burn but can still taste cilantro, green onions, ginger, garlic and such.) Also, NO full bar. We wanted a cocktail prior to dinner...has to settle for wine and beer. We might go back (so many other restaurants we LOVE though) but definitely didn't leave raving about our meal. One more comment...the service was great!
The fried eggplant was pretty good. Most places that fry eggplant don't do so for long enough and the inside is undercooked. Not this place. It was perfect and actually one of my favorite meals. Wish I was eating it Again right now ahah!
