Talk about a work in progress: it’s always fun to eat at Whitebait & Kale as it’s often filled with people who’ve just been upstairs at one of the plastic surgeries for a nip/tuck. The usually reliable menu plays it safe with the likes of rather good fish ’n’ chips; thick, perfectly done crab cakes; pavlova heaped with cream and wild berries; and rich Wagyu bolognese. There were some misses at a recent visit – among them a very watery snapper pie, and slightly overdone calamari and tabbouleh salad – but a patronage straight out of the society pages made for highly entertaining people-watching.
