"When Crown Shy first opened, critics and diners praised the innovative dessert menu. Five years on, the sweet selection at the late chef-founder James Kent’s flagship remains standout, with items like a Creamsicle-like orange satsuma ice cream topped with toasted marshmallow, or the pistachio-adorned, baklava cheesecake in a phyllo purse. The sticky toffee pudding for two may be the most accessible introduction to Crown Shy’s approach to desserts. By itself, the pudding leans traditional, bordering on overly sweet, the dark caramel and salt bringing a welcome hint of savoriness. Together with the brightly tart green apple sorbet, topped with cool chantilly cream, the dessert becomes something else altogether, a study in contrast and a bold pairing." - Eater Staff, John Tsung
