Classical modern is the general image and first impression of Shore to me. Nested in Central's commercial building, it's been a regular gathering place for Happy Hour, and in-the-week dinner place. It's a steak house with a wide international menu and a fine collection of wine; besides it's a bar for one or two glasses of normal cocktail or mixture. I like their low terrace, even it's always a bit too crowded, but at least it's a very easy place to have a small sky among the cold buildings in Central.
If you are looking for something very unique and different, Shore definitely will let you down, but like most of middle-to-high standard steakhouse in Central, it's chic, cool, stable quality and professional service; from the dark brown sofa, the hard-and-soft decoration with silver vase and lily inside, it is not difficult to predict the typical American-Italian dishes in their menu.
Dirty Rosemary $105
Vodka Infused Rosemary , Massenez Creme de Fraise
Monin Macadamian Nut, Pineapple Juice
As a starter of the night, I choose a floral & herb drink from Shore's signature cocktail list. It's a mild but intense vodka-cocktail with a nutty creamy taste; floral and sweet for a girls' night.
Shore Steak Tartare $168/small & $298/Large
One of my favorit that night as a meaty starter dish. It is hand chopped beef with cornichons, capers, shallots with chips as sides. The beef is quite rare with a cold, smooth, mouth-melting taste; besides, it is seasoned by a special spicy and sour sauce, very appetite-opening. I even won't recommend to have it with the chips, for the original flavor of the tartare, but Shore offers quite good chips :D
Smoked Whole Roasted Poussin $298
Pork 2 Ways $278
Cracklin pork belly, sous vide Iberico pork loin, butter beans, kale, apple mash, chimichurri sauce
Highly recommend non-steak main course with a very balance and non-oily taste, using pork belly and pork loin to create a 2-layer tender texture. The apply mash with light cream sauce is the most important part of the whole dish, for its refreshing fruity flavor to take away the fat from the meat.
Steak with Macaroni & Cheese Bacon as side dish. Super devil combination, but we couldn't stop. It's quite traditional and normal way to handle the steak. Surface is handled quite well-done as the color, but not in my favorite looking of over-done or even, 'over-burned'; inside it's quite juicy and lovely pink, worthy for its price. Macaroni with cheese and bacon, is awesome! We even treated it as one of our main courses, and had it non-stop. It's very cheesy and creamy but less-salted and not too heavy in the flavor, plus the flavorful bacon and its natural fat melted to oil as heated up.
Beurre Monte Lobster $418
Fregola, baby squid, mussels, king crab meat and lobster bisque. It's an intensive seafood feast with the very-well-done fregola and the perfect sauce. Sticky in a right and satisfying way to 'glue' the sweet and fresh seafood cubes and chewy pasta.
Banoffee Pie $78
Very interesting dessert with a decentralized presentation. Warm banana, vanilla icecream, cream, mousse, and the crispy biscuit. It's awesome and tasty as we all have no adverse comment on it.
