For the hungry, the Asian influenced “Eat Me” side of the menu has some interesting options that hedges its bet with diversified cuisines. Peking duck fried rice with shredded lettuce had the sweetness of hoisin but could have done with a less heavy hand with the oil. Butter chicken served with snow peas, pappadum and streamed rice not necessary. The house club sandwich, a version of CLT fares better, the Wagyu beef burger gets props, especially the spritely spiced, crispy wedges as a side. Stuff from the land of the rising sun comes to the rescue; sushi and sashimi benefits from having a respected sushi chef on board for consultations. The stand to share comes with fresh tuna, salmon, kingfish, a ceviche style sashimi and soft shell crab, spicy tuna and avocado sushi rolls. A Japanese high tea if you will.
You’d be taking a bit of a gamble on the food at the Argyle to make you feel better, with some good, some bad. Not to worry, your bet’s hedged, turn the page and “Drink Me”.
