Came here to try their lunch sets, which I heard to be good value for money. The restaurant isn't too difficult to find, if you know how to get to Shatin Town Hall. The rooftop garden provides a nice relaxing environment, something which isn't easy to find in Hong Kong. For their lunch menu, the set includes a cup of hot or iced apple tea, bread with olive oil and vinegar, and a main course selected from a list provided.

For their lunch menu, the set includes a cup of hot or iced apple tea, bread with olive oil and vinegar, and a main course selected from a list provided. I chose the prawn penne, while my friend chose the roasted spring chicken with vegetables.
To start off, the bread was delicious. Stamping the name of the restaurant on the bread was a nice touch.
The prawn penne was delicious. The sauce was the right amount of thickness, such that it would fill the penne, so each bite contains the prawn sauce. The prawns themselves were a good size, and were cooked well.
The roasted spring chicken took some time before it arrived at our table. Plating could have been a bit nicer. The chicken itself was good, luckily it wasn't too dry. The roasted vegetables lacked a bit of flavour, but could be saved by the sauce.
There are two desserts available for selection at a price of $28. There was a berries panna cotta, and a lemon cheesecake. I chose the lemon cheesecake, which turns out to be classic cheesecake with lemon sauce. The cheesecake was smooth, and flavours were good. I especially enjoyed the lemon sauce, which made the dish more special.
Overall a nice find with good value lunch sets. The pasta dishes were around $75-90 (without service charge). The chicken was slightly more expensive. The add-ons available for the set were reasonably priced: wine/beer was $28 and dessert was the same price. I would like to revisit again, maybe to try their dinner menu. Post
