We called for booking a table at 730, they said earliest table @930 and so we booked.
Finish shopping early @ habour city and we a pass by the restaurant at 845. I saw 3-4 tables were empty indoors,s o we decided to try walk in for a table.
We stand at the reception for 5 mins NO ONE come forward , so I walked into the restaurant and say "excuse me, we would like a table for 4" to one of the lady in black suit, I think she's a manager. She replied: "tables outdoor are full, we have table inside only. and she walked away" HOW RUDE. and I said to her, "yes we have been waiting to locate a seat for 4, INSIDE please"
We sat down , looked at the menu, for more then 10 mins, no one service, no water or drinks. and I finally called a waiter. She said " What food would you like?" I told her " we need sparkling water please. I am very thirsty, I have been waiting for 10mins to order some drinks." Without even asking if I want any other drinks or wine, she stood there. I told her " I am very thirsty, can I have the sparkling water first??" she left without saying anything.
Then we waited for about another 5 mins with no service, and we called another man in black, suspect another manager. We order some dishes, he expression was certainly rude, with no smile. no explanations on dish. no recommendation on wine either even when we questioned. We finally ordered 3 starter and 4 main dishes 3 dessert and 1 red wine to share.
To be honest, I have had Italian dishes much better from few restaurants in Soho and in a lower price. The food at Al Molo is good, but not special. For HKD500 per head, I am only paying for The sea view which is fantastic, and seat are comfortablely apart.
And for a michelin chef opened restaurant , certainly not up to standard
