When I first heard about Wassail, I was thrilled that someone had opened a restaurant JUST FOR ME -- a vegetarian restaurant and cider bar?

Well, almost. Not just a vegetarian restaurant but a vegetarian restaurant that does tiny plates and molecular gastronomy -- foams and purees and a dessert of figs and tiny cakes of medicinal herbs, which is perhaps the strangest (and least sweet) dessert I've ever had. All the food was great -- with the exception of the figs, which the NICEST WAITER IN THE WORLD took off the bill even though I did not ask -- and the drinks were good and afterwards we had cupcakes.

Because those were some extremely tiny plates.

And that was a birthday!
