We went to a function at Prohibition in Ponsonby Road. It is a quirky old building on which a lot of money has been spent to create a period theme of 1920s nostalgia.
Our party was in the library room upstairs which was a windowless encyclopedia lined room. Initially I thought it might be a bit dark for me but actually the atmosphere created was quite special
The food was also good. I had the Tartlet of blue cheese and caramelised onion with Szechuan pepper beef to start. A good entrée made even better by the relative absence of any pastry. A bit pricey at $28 I thought.
For the main I chose Duck Breast pan fried (European style), savoy cabbage, baby carrot finished with caper creme fraiche and blueberry. This was a very tasty and attractive main – as it should have been at $42.
The service was impeccable, the setting indulgent including proper crystal glassware. I would consider going back for a special occasion.
