Tried to reach them via Tai Kwun plaza. Realized there’s no sign at all. I was wandering for 10 mins before I could find the entrance.


Arrived early so started the evening with a G&T at their garden. Luca greeted me nicely and served me the welcome champagne.


There’s around 20 gin you can select. I had one Sipsmith gin and it was nice!

The garden is quite pleasant with lot of plants. It’s a great spot for some drinks and snacks.


After a glass, we proceed to the dining room.

The dining room is glamorous for sure. They also have some interesting paintings on the wall.


A guy approached us and checked if we need some recommendations. But at the end, he actually just read the menu once without introducing or recommending anything.

Shima Aji Crudo
All my friends know i love aji and i love crudo, ceviche or just sashimi. This is probably the leanest aji i had ever had. The dressing didn’t add any effects to the fish. Can’t taste the freshness, sweetness. Quite disappointed.

Quality chop house confit potato
Oven roasted baby carrot
Yorkshire pudding

The potato actually is my favourite dish of the night. It’s well seasoned and really crispy. Good match with the prime rib dressing.

Chocolate pudding
Quite nice but pretty basis.


Service is ok but I feel it’s a bit overacting. Overall, i don’t think I will come back for the food again. The historical dining room itself is magnificent. Unfortunately the food can’t pair well with the environment. The garden is a good spot. Maybe I’ll come back for some more gin instead!

The Lincolnshire Poacher Soufflé ($188) and the French onion soup ($228) tasted super salty and we couldn’t even finish half of each. The highly acclaimed roasted turbot on the bone for two ($1088) was beautifully presented but it tasted bland and the portion was miserably small… Luckily the sticky toffee pudding ($228) tasted pretty good so at least the meal had a nice ending 👌🏻

All in all I’d still recommend y’all to visit this beautiful restaurant, but maybe just hop in for a couple of drinks or chill at their garden 🥂

已經很久沒有在香港去過一間有環境好氣氛同時Service也很好的餐廳。
非常喜愛一進去的感受,就像回到20年代就應該一樣,非常濃郁的英倫裝修,由我其中一個喜愛的室內設計師joyce Wang設計。
首先我們被帶到穿過餐廳去到的Botanic Garden 每人比送上一杯歡迎香檳, 他們的bar是主要主理Gin cocktail, 今次未能嘗試會下一次試吓。這個Garden 設一個非常不錯的打卡地方。因為我們是食第二輪9:00晚飯,所以到了不久便安排進餐廳。
我們四人叫了四個appertizer 及兩個各兩人份量的main course.
Appetiser 1- cocktail shrimp - 新鮮肉質也鮮嫩

Appetiser 2- lobster -同樣鮮甜可口
Appetiser 3- razor clam - 特別的醬汁,酸中帶點甜大起勝子的味道
Appetiser 4- salad
Main course 1- Dover sole - 我本人是抗拒吃西餐食煎魚,因通常肉質比較乾,但這個Dover sole 做得剛剛好,非常滑嫩。
Main course 2- prime beef -在我們面前即場切給我們可以選擇一塊厚切,或者兩塊薄切,我們選擇了後者。有重重的牛肉味,配上了他們自家製的Gravy 也有另一番風味。
我們是最後一台離開但他們服務也非常周到,更讓我們到他們樓上的Private Room參觀及拍照。
氣氛- 非常輕快
音樂-全晚都播着輕快音樂
裝修- 濃郁
適合人群- 見客,朋友,家人聚會,拍拖,慶祝
合適衣着- smart casual / cocktail/喜歡打扮的朋友也是一個可以dress up 的地方

Prawn Cocktail: 完全感受到係用咗新鮮急凍蝦咬落去完全冇爽彈、死氣沉沉再配上各大自助餐都會有嘅Cocktail Sauce 完全誠意欠奉、突顯不到餐廳對自己對該道菜的特色「劣」

Steak Tartare : 味道不夠,聲稱法國做法但酸瓜欠奉,應該要加多少少黑胡椒,牛肉極難咀嚼,沒有任何牛肉味「差」

蟶子:大家只要到街市買一條新鮮嘅蟶子皇切碎,輕輕灼一灼,加上番茜,橄欖油,少少檸檬皮、你都可以做到

龍蝦: 同蟶子皇一樣大家屋企都可以做到

Prime Rib : 應該有慢煮,全晚稍為最好食,可惜欠缺細心、牛扒食食吓會凍,應該用一個暖碟上保持溫度…..

Drawn to fact that the restaurant was formerly the Central Magistrates' Office, with the decor maintained and refinished back to its vintage appearance.

We were grated with enthusiasm by the waiter upon arrival. The waiter handed us a champagne as a Welcome Drink, and then took us to our seat seat. Next he handed us an Al La Cart Menu, and at first glance, there were fewer options than we expected.

We had done former research and knew that the onion soup is a must try, when we ask about soup this is what he told us…"Yes Onion Soup is one of our signature dishes" with a rude attitude and said "no share ..no share this is for one person" in a serious tone, and then nodded his head to indicate to us "one for each person, no share". Why Is he making presumptions that we are going to share our soup when had no intention of doing that.

When selecting the main course, we were deciding between lobster or Prime Rib. We wanted to know about the portion. Checking with the waiter again before we made our mind . This is what he bluntly replied "one person portion, you can't share "

We were all a bit stunned to hear his answer, how can you say these before the guests made a decision? Just because we are Asians, we felt we had been labeled that sharing food is in our vein ?

We ended up ordering some starters, one onion soup per person, one main course per person, Dover Sole and Prime Rib, Side Dishes, red wine, etc.

As we were expecting the food to come, there were several *suspected* food bloggers at the adjacent table, I say we suspect they are bloggers because they used more than two flashes, three mobile phones, and two SLR cameras to take pictures of their food, what’s worst, they were speaking very loudly, which completely ruined our mood to dine in such a new and decent venue. If there is a filming event, should the restaurant staff arrange for them to go to a special location that won't affect other guests?

Finally our food arrives, let's talk about the onion soup first. The crispy skin is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The onion soup is full of ingredients. It's is delicious and a must try. Next came Dover Sole, which is fried fish, ordinary appearance, small portion, taste is good but no surprise there . Prime Rib served with Yorkshire pudding, a traditional British entree, but out of the ordinary given the price tag. As for the side dishes, house confit potatoes look very flattering and delicate! Like a thousand-layer cake, layer by layer, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Creamed Spinach is rich and creamy enough. As for the bread, it was just too ordinary. From experience , usually high-end restaurants will make their own special bread. The bread in this restaurant doesn’t seem like it was homemade. Yet their butter is very aromatic!

Back to the reason of our further disapointment. During the whole time as we were eating, flashs of lights keeps coming from our adjacent table (the one with the suspected food bloggers ). Which has caught our attention again. At first glance, they ordered two onion soups and shared them among five people. The waiter also provided five additional small bowls for them to share. So what happened to the “no sharing rule” they had been so strict on ? Also as the main dishes arrived one after another to their table , All five of the guests stood up., first performing a round of "celery before the food" ritual, and then openly sharing all of their main dishes. Waiters providing them with extra plates to share without hesitation. Speaking loudly and makingp noises with their tableware. So what’s up with the double standards being placed upon bloggers and us actual diners who are paying for the supposing same service ?

Seeing the waiter at the next table set the dessert in front of them, the diners picked up the camera and mobile phone to take pictures, one of our friends picked up the phone and took a long distance photo of the dessert, and then the chef in charge realized and warned our friend "you shouldn't take picture or video", we were instantly shocked , is it because we didn't order this dish, we have no rights of taking any pictures? You lighted up a show with your desserts to drawn attention to your other guests in the house, but just because we didn’t order the same dish you have to treat as down ? We were equally confused and shocked by all of these.

Frankly speaking, the restaurant environment is very good, and because of its historical value, people are more eager and looking forward to tasting food in this environment, but unfortunately being mistreated like our group did , and then allowing *suspected* special guest to not follow their restaurant (a email from the restaurant reminding guests to dress properly before the guests show up) We followed all the guidelines but only to observed some people were allowed to break the rules in a ex venue of justice, how ironic.

Originally, we all wanted to enjoy the food slowly and have a nice gathering with friends. But being mistreated the way we did, we just want to leave ASAP. After we finished our main, the waiter handed over the dessert menu, we said we were full, let's do it next time. In exchange for a response from the waiter: "No way! With the amount of your meal, you can still have the ability to hold desserts", then turned around and left. Is this some sort of British black humor or the wait or simply being rude ? I will let the reader decide .

In summary, special venue , food alone does not meet up to the price tag, there are plenty of better restaurants in town. But the reason we will likely not come back is due to its service and mis treatment to the normal guest .

Stunning decor and setting, service was impeccable too. But the food was just horrid. The roast beef was tough and bland, the oysters were not fresh, the chicken and mushroom pie had a thin paper-like crust and the contents inside were soupy and bland. The only decent dish was the razor clams and the cheese soufflé. What a pity, with that kind of setting, they will be attracting a lot of curious souls but no return customers for sure.

A very decent greeting at the main entrance by a nice gentlemen showing us the way to reception and serve glasses of Champaign (free of charge). The indoor deco in British vibes enlightens the dining experience. Food quality is amazing especially the “prime rib” , perfectly cooked indeed. I personally appreciated the jazz live performers and the sommelier so much, professional playing and recommendation which brings the whole dinner in the next level.
