THE Neighbourhood launch party proved to be a hot ticket last week. Folks were curious about this new Manhattan-inspired restaurant and bar in Spinningfields – partly because it's from the guy behind Southern Eleven, and partly because the food sounds like it's just been couriered over from a hipster eaterie in the Lower East Side.
Heroes were served canapés inspired by the menu: lobster tacos, chicken lollipops, mini burgers with cheese and mac sauce and bacon. They're big on 'luxury' ingredients such as lobster and steak here. It's low-key, fine-dining in an industrial chic space.
The sample wines were good, and the cocktails were strong and bold. We liked the True Romance (vodka, blueberries, fruit liqueurs and champagne).
The team got the service just right – warm, accommodating, and professional. Everyone we spoke to on the night seemed impressed. Confidential is going back there in a few weeks for our Christmas do. Excitement is building.
