Date of Last Visit: It was a Monday. The last month has been a blur!
The Victim: Feathers
The Damage: Feathers, bless her, paid my bill. I had worked all weekend and needed a little pick-me-up.
So, it was a Monday and I’m always suspicious of restaurants on Monday. But going with my New Year’s Resolution of trying out everything in Hoxton Square, we settled on the Cube and Star.
Me, being a dumba**, had no idea that it was CUBAN restaurant. I’m such an idiot sometimes.
Loved the decor. I would like some of those photos for my flat, which has too many white walls at this juncture and is need of some artying up.
Loved the service. It’s all in the person, isn’t it? Our server was very sweet and attentive. This was helped by the fact that we were only one of four tables I saw filled during out evening out.
Food–no foie gras! Yes. But what did we have??? I don’t remember. I remember that what we really wanted was out, so we settled for something else. Shucks, though, I have no idea.
And I totally want to remember my entree, but I can’t remember that either–EXCEPT–that it was served with "wontons" stuffed with goat’s cheese. You know I love goat’s cheese. They were also deep fried, which is bad. But they were oh-so-tasty. I’m fairly certain I had seafood as my main, as did Feathers. If I remember correctly, her fish was accompanied by a nice potato-y-polenta-type-substance. Yummy. I do remember that we had yummy bread and olives, which I believe were complimentary, at the beginning of our meal. Very nice.
The Veridct. Eh. How can I not remember my food??? Shame on Cube and Star. Loved the art. Loved the vibe, but really, they need to find some more peeps. It’s no fun eating in an empty restaurant when the food isn’t bad (I would have remembered if it was bad).
