Today we spent the morning in IOA and decided to see if we could get into Mythos around 1:30 for a late lunch.
I'd heard lots of positive reviews for this place, so I was pleased when we were told it would just be a ten minute wait.
We were seated within a few minutes and we admired the theming of the restaurant. It was truly like eating in a cave, and we also had a great view of the Hulk outside the window.
Service here was just ok. He greeted us quickly but was slow to bring drinks, take orders etc, however he seemed pretty busy with a fair few tables to look after.
I decided to try the Crab Cake Sliders. These were pretty good, the crab cakes were nice and moist, with plenty of crab flavour, the bread was soft, and the remoulade had a bit of a kick to it. They were served with potato salad which was creamy but slightly tangy, and a melon, onion and balsamic salsa. This was actually very good, light, refreshing and the flavours combined well together.
DH chose the vegetable Pad Thai which he enjoyed. This was a huge portion, the noodles were well cooked and onions and green beans were tasty. The sauce was a Peanut Satay type sauce, but was sweet rather than spicy. Overall he said this was a tasty dish, but it was overly sweet for his palate and wasn't able to finish it.
As we'd skipped appetisers we decided to share a couple of desserts. Most of the desserts here are served in shot glasses, meaning they are small but it allows you to sample a couple of things. I chose a Creme Brulee dessert shot, which had a nice creamy texture but was topped with caramel sauce (so not really creme brulee like).
DH chose the Apple Streusel shot, which basically sponge cake layered with apple and cinamon sauce, topped with whipped cream, we both enjoyed this one.
We also split the Chocolate Gooey Banana Cake. This was a normal sized dessert (the only one on the menu I think, the rest were all served in shot glasses). The cake was a very soft, moist rich chocolate cake, topped with caramel sauce and sliced bananas. This paired really well with the peanut butter ice cream served on top, overall a delicious desserts.
Overall we both really liked this restaurant. I enjoyed my entree more than DH did, and there wasn't a great selection of veggie options but I think we'd still return.
As we had a late lunch we skipped dinner that night. We stayed in and watched a movie, and part way through the night DH got a sundae from Emack and Bolios at the HRH.
This was absolutely huge, 3 scoops of ice cream (mint choc chip, vanilla, cookies and cream), brownie chunks, pieces of candy, topped with whipped cream. It was delicious but we didn't manage to finish it!
