I started with a dish of linguine with crab. It tasted quite nice, but I found the crab was a little gritty, which was disappointing. However, I liked the saffron-like strips of chilli, and the pasta was good.
My main course was absolutely delicious: stone bass with pumpkin, chestnut gnocchi, and wild mushrooms. The fish was beautifully cooked, a crispy skin and clean taste. I really liked the gnocchi because I could really taste the nutty flavour, and the pickled nut garnish had a sharpness which brought through the wonderful earthy flavours.
For dessert, I had a chocolate fondant. I found it too rich and bitter, but the popping candy inside was a nice touch.
The service, in general, was pretty good, although a couple of staff seemed a little unsure. I liked the décor, with some interesting modern art, but the restaurant got quite noisy.
If the fish is anything to go by, Sonny's Kitchen is definitely worth a visit!
