James St, Fortitude Valley was my destination in mind for a Sunday Lunch with mum. I was curious to try the Haloumi-crumbed chicken schnitzel but felt more like fish since it's lighter. Mum chose the beer-battered fish and chips with tartare and I picked the Salmon, corn salsa, salad and herb-yoghurt dressing. From the description it sounded great but I was pleasantly surprised to find pan-fried Polenta under my salmon. The salmon was cooked medium-rare with a crispy skin, which is just perfect as it's not too dry, the salad was fresh and a nice side compliment. The polenta was a good match for salmon it tasted amazing and was the perfect consistency. Drizzled a bit of lime on top and it melted in my mouth with a zesty flavour. On the other hand Mum found the beer-battered fish and chips fairly average, the fish was a bit oily and the chips and salad accompanying the dish were very standard. For the price of $25 we expected something a little more exciting. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed perfect for a lunch date.
