Far Rockaway opened up on Curtain Rd, Shoreditch about a week ago and at first glance looks fucking awesome. The menu reads alright too, it actually gives the impression it could be pretty good which sadly it was not... Decor is rad though.
Far Rockaway Shoreditch is most certainly not a place to ever go for food. It's just an overpriced bar that does bad overpriced food. Theres amazing art and decor to enjoy with the addition of comics to read and ok-ish music playing in the background.
The service was pretty bad. The waiter forgot the first order of only 2 drinks and never put ice in our glasses, even at Mcdonalds im asked if i want ice.
One of the last things the waiter said to us after we complained about the food was "I think the thing is, the owner wanted it to be authentic american" .. fucking lol.
Don't go here. Go for a cocktail at Hoxton Hotel or The Redchurch, have a pizza at Pizza East, get some deep fried prawns on Kingsland Road from one of the many amazing Vietnamese restaurants, get a burger from Byron... just don't go here!
When we left we noticed a seriously intense smell of piss which was a lovely ending to a fabulous night.
Cool.
:'(
These were great.
7 small over cooked deep fried shrimp which a tasteless bitter smoked tomato sauce. Not only are the plates an eyesore but the caramelized lemon really pissed me off. The waited suggest these, he said that they've been called "the best thing in Shoreditch", once he asked us what we thought of them he then told us only 2 people said that and he was sorry LOL. This was 10 quid by the way.
Tasteless (hot) chicken wings that weren't hot at all. Blue cheese dip that was actually garlic mayo, they then replaced the garlic mayo with more GARLIC MAYO after we watched the head chef argue that it was infact blue cheese dip. Who the fuck was he kidding.
Please restaurateurs! don't call them fries on the menu when they're not fries.
How do you like your burger buns? They like them dry here at Far Rockaway Shoreditch.
Halloumi burger, with peanut hummus and maple squash. (Apparently 'minus the bun' this wasn't too bad)
Frank & Beans. Honestly .. out of a tin actually tastes better.
£9 worth of meatballs right there.
Ok now this was £4 and is huge, only thing worthwhile actually eating here. Just gotta ignore the greasy basil leaf.
