今年朋友同我慶祝生日揀咗呢間餐廳，環境氣氛好唔錯，我哋坐喺一樓嘅位置，座位闊落，環境非常舒適😌店員會詢問我哋係咪第一次嚟，之後介紹吓佢嘅餐牌，介紹得非常詳細～呢度有個Tasting Menu，係可以試哂佢哋最signature嘅菜式，不過我哋今次就揀咗散叫😋叫完嘢食之後，店員就會放低麵包，個醬帶點蒜香牛油味，配返麵包食都幾好食😆前菜我哋嗌咗個Tuna tartare ($140)，賣相真係好靚，下面有個類似蝦片嘅脆餅裝住啲吞拿魚同埋牛油果，上面仲有啲蟹子，口感豐富，吞拿魚亦都好新鮮，成個配搭非常Fresh，係一個好食嘅前菜😋之後就已經入到我哋嘅重點啦， Juicy lobster rice ($590)🦞本身一上到枱嘅時候已經聞到佢超香，撈勻佢嘅時候更加覺得佢嘅汁同飯已經融合埋一齊，飯嘅軟硬度適中，啲汁勁香龍蝦味，但係一啲都唔腥～係令人會一啖接一啖嘅龍蝦飯☺️但令到我最驚喜嘅係隻龍蝦，好新鮮，仲有好多膏，啲龍蝦肉非常彈牙，亦都大大嚿，勁鮮甜！好少食到呢啲餐廳嘅龍蝦飯嘅龍蝦係有酒店級水準，好好食🤤至於甜品方面，我哋嗌咗個Burnt basque cheesecake ($110)，佢係圓形

朋友們話同我慶祝生日, 其中一個朋友話想食西班牙菜, 之後佢哋就suggest食呢間, 我就梗係舉腳贊成啦因為我都好想試好耐架啦!!!😋我其中一個friend要七點先放工, 佢就話呢間啲cocktail好好飲, 叫我同另一個friend邊飲邊等, 我地六點零已經黎到, 點知已經勁full, 因為原來happy hour係去到七點半...咁我地就出左去兜幾個圈..佢晚飯分咗兩場, 一場係六點至八點, 一場係八點至十點, 我哋就book咗第二場, 但係好好彩地七點就話有位!一入到去就叫左幾杯Cocktail, 唔記得咗個名係咩, 但永遠都係我啲friend叫既就好飲, 自己叫既就係好藥水😩Starter叫左個tuna tartare, 好好味!!佢出面個兜仔好脆, 食落好refreshing!Main course叫左個龍蝦飯share, 佢一黎到我覺得, 咦, 點解個湯咁稀既, 會唔會好淡? 但食左第一啖之後就忍唔住係咁食!! 因為佢個湯好似lobster bisque咁係好濃味架😋然後每一粒飯都煮得啱啱好軟硬度, 再配埋個龍蝦湯食係好正! 佢嘅龍蝦肉煮到啱啱好, 唔會過靭, 好味呀!!

如上, 對pirata group的好感繼續, 友人的生日也由我來發辦為大家選址the optimist。適逢restaurant week, 想也別想就enroll了5份晚餐!星期五happy friday, 位於灣仔的餐廳酒吧區迫爆人, 7點幾剛到的我們差點就要站著Happy hour呢!Happy hour drinks only from $48, 非常便宜, 而且finger food也不貴, 樓上的正餐位置還未準備好, 所以我們就點了杯house wine及叫了fried eggplant作為小吃Fried eggplant比薯條及其他炸物感覺健康 (當然也是自欺欺人啦), deep fried的茄子配上蜜糖及mayo好滋味, 點蜜糖更像甜品, 咸咸甜甜的令人想一吃再吃!我們的餐桌終於預備好啦! 是在3樓的餐區, 樓梯的一幅幅相好有家庭感覺!一行5人被編到角落位置, 雖可自成一角, 但整間餐廳實在太似酒吧, 所以非常嘈雜, 而且3樓是廚房及烤肉位置, 煙霧大得我以為抽油煙機壞了。這個是扣分位, 不過也無損我們gathering的心情~由於已經好餓, 餐前麵包一上大家都毫不猶
