Stone Nullah Tavern (Closed)

雖說我時常在灣仔出沒，但活動範圍始終有限，對於灣仔石水渠街的印象，就只限於藍屋和香港故事館。後來認識了跟 Linguini Fini 同樣為 IHM 集團旗下的 Stone Nullah Tavern，以後來石水渠街就多個理由了。Stone Nullah Tavern 集酒吧與餐廳於一身，同以 Vinny Lauria 作為行政總廚，食物質素當然有一定保證。餐廳亦同樣使用 Homegrown Foods，致力推崇本地農場生產的有機蔬菜及新鮮時令食材，標榜食得健康。餐前當然先送來麵包，質感鬆軟非常，外皮煙煙韌韌。以蠟燭台烘熱著的溶化牛油，將麵包蘸下去同吃，散發出的香氣更甚，非常開胃。【Shrimp Cocktail】（港幣 $158）大大隻的凍蝦，肉質爽脆結實，味道夠新鮮，只是稍作灼熟再配以微酸的雞尾酒汁，感覺清爽。巨大的蝦頭炸至香脆，灑上惹味的海鮮調味粉再蘸上微辣醬汁同吃，帶來截然不同的滋味。【King Crab Legs】（港幣 $318）普遍西餐廳通常都會將長腳蟹灼熟冷卻，頂多加點酸甜檸檬汁增添鮮味；而總廚 Vinny 知道香港人十分喜愛吃避風塘炒蟹，便參考了這個港式做法，再混入淨

After a late start to the day, we were looking for a nice filling lunch at around 2 o'clock. After a long journey, through different cars and taxis, we made it to the corner of Stone Nullah Lane.However, to our dismay when we sat down we learned that a set lunch menu was the only thing available for lunch (we were looking forward to try the egg Mac and cheese). We ordered the steak and Korean bbq chicken sets, which allowed unlimited access to the salad and soup bar (nothing very special, howeve

Sorry for updating my blog so infrequently these days! Recently I have started my grad job. SUPER Fast paced but I have been loving it so far! There is so much things to learn everyday, while all the colleagues are really lovely and supportive. Working in Admiralty indicates bringing lunch from home is almost a must (as everything is just so expensive and scarce lol). Though it also makes it way more convenient for me to meet friends after work in Wan Chai or in the Western district if comparing

Part of the same group as Linguini Fini, Stone Nullah Tavern employs the same farm to table concept on its classic American cuisine that is designed to be hearty and wholesome! Situated on Stone Nullah Lane, a relaxing vibe oozes from the restaurant with its semi al fresco bar area that spills out onto the streets. It turns out the restaurant is also doing a happy hour promotion on Monday to Friday from 5-7pm where drinks start at just $1 and double up every 20 minutes until 7pm! For those who l

“Guess my boss will like it” I told my friend after knowing this place serve American Food, and holdering the largest American Whisky & Bourbon selection in town. I worked in an American Company, and currently , I am working in another American Company and more 90% of my colleagues are Americans. My HK boss , my mentor and I …love whisky & Cigar. 15 minutes away from office, right, I should drag them here sometime.It was a long due catch up, me and my frd J met Geoff in the butcher’s club party

My previous visit to Stone Nullah Tavern was closer to a few months after it’s new opening and with a friend who also loved their food concept. Back then it was selling more Dude’s Food with a lot of creativity, very Chefy food indeed and rich and suited my style! Fast forward to May 2015 and the restaurant of Linguini Fini/Homegrown Foods/Posto Pubblico group has shifted to an all new American focus, from the more traditional American recipes all the way to their Artisanal Beers and American Bo

Nice concept interior made to look more like a barn than a tavern. Hard surfaces make it a very noisy restaurant. Impossible to chat. Liver pate, pickled veg and crusty bread -  Liver pate was watery. Looked like slimy slush. Mac and cheese with sea urchins - Mac was pretty hard. Although one would expect Italian restaurants to serve pasta al dente, this really is an American comfort dish. The sea urchins added nothing. Didn't like it. Sausage with apples - chunky sausage with a somewhat tough c

this Sunday I took my friends from Taiwan to this restaurant because it is something that he doesn't get back home. I heard that they serve italian American comfort food and it's right next to the blue house so - something interesting for tourists to see.I have been there previously for drinks and they make really really good cocktails.Ttoday I was convinced by their waitress to try their Bloody Mary - the secret recipe that involves oysters which gives it a unique taste of the ocean. indeed ver

When I was in college, my favorite meal at the dorm was chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, fried okra and mac & cheese (can you tell I went to school in Texas?). I would eat that whenever I felt down, or felt like I deserved a reward, or just felt like it. It's amazing I'm not 500lbs. Anyway, you can't really get food like that in HK, but I certainly rushed out the door as soon as I learned that there was a place that did chicken fried steak here in HK...They start you off with a free plate o

Stone Nullah Tavern is from the same people behind the hearty Italian comfort meals that is Linguini Fini, and Posto Pubblico. Mmmmmm so you know you’re going to be getting a heavy but delicious meal! Stone Nullah specializes in what they call “New American” dining. The food isn’t served in too gigantic portions, (Unless you go for the Whole chicken, other meatier options) but rather more tapa like dishes where you can share. I go over to celebrate A’s bday dinner! We went last week for drinks a

The Xmas/New Year holidays are one of the most wonderful times of the year, but the leap back to reality is almost traumatic. So thanks to my dear friend for keeping the new year celebrations coming and alleviating the post holiday blues!Stone Nullah Tavern is snugly situated on the corner opposite the historical Blue House, and is easily recognizable from its modern exterior combining chisled grey stone and a spacious open air bar front among the old Wan Chai buildings. The retro interior is we

The Stone Nullah Tavern belongs to the newish breed of yuppie restaurants in HK like Fatty Crab and 22 Ships that serve innovative fusion cuisine in sharing plates. If you're not one to share your food, or enjoy hearty portions, then read no further.I've been to Stone Nullah Tavern on two separate occasions and were bitterly disappointed both times. While they have done well with the ambience and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, they fail to deliver when it came to the food.The food ar

Having spent many years in the US, I was excited to see an American "gastro pub" open in HK.  The decor and menu remind me of what I have seen in the US, but that is where the similarities end.I do commend the chef and owners for this place.  The chef has put together an interesting menu with creative uses of meat, notably the pork dishes.  The dishes we tried were all seasoned quite well, but the portion sizes are minimal to say the least.When ordering French fries, one usually does not expect

由於前段去了名店坊, 已經喝了兩杯, 但那裡的酒不太合胃口, 決定去轉場, 但銅鑼灣的新地方已江郎才盡, in-side-out都搬去南華會, 喝酒的地方會沒落嗎?我們記得灣仔餃子源附近有一間不起眼的酒吧, 我們便起行去了, 一下車, 很surprise這裡竟然人山人海, 位置可以坐的就只有一個隱蔽的角落, 一場到來, 也沒辦法, 這裡樓底很高, 很寬敞,我們點了一枝阿根廷的紅酒, 看一看這個掌中掌的招紙, 原來在中環的bloom, 我們已喝過, 挺不錯, 絲絨細滑有質感, 配上nachos, 這裡的nachos並不便宜HK$180, 因為份量很小, 但芝士味很濃, 加上些jalapeno, 做得不錯,  一份nachos怎夠我們攝牙縫, 所以拋開我們的減肥大計, 再點了一份hot fires, 但喝著喝著, 半個小時也沒有送來, 我們酒意漸濃, 睡魔急召, 跟服務生說了說, 終於來了, 服務生不好意思地說因為人客太多, 廚房有點忙, 這個薯條ｏｎ　ｈｏｕｓｅ吧！ｈｏｏｒａｙ！！！薯條真的很香脆辣，莫非真的不花錢的東西最好吃，很喜歡這兒，　下次會再來　！

記得不久之前在ig上看過 Stone NullahTavern的 Fat Kid Cake，深深被它的描述吸引了，一直難忘。今天決定忘記卡路里的包袱，跟 Fat Kid Cake會一會。位於藍屋斜對面的 Stone NullahTavern 從外看是一間typical的 bar，裝潢帶點復古味道，給人輕鬆的感覺。店員都十分友善親切，並提醒我們食物的份量較細，所以可以點多些分吃。Smoked squid salad ($100)店員推介我們的魷魚青瓜 basil和薄荷沙津,本身材料也十分清爽，再加上青檸汁和dressing，感覺就更清新了。魷魚有淡淡的煙熏味，不過比較韌身。Clams with crispy tripe, chick peas, tomato, pimento, cilantro ($130)這個菜十分適合佐酒；肚炸得脆卜卜，有點像魚皮；口感和蜆用剛好成對比，可是我覺得它們一齊吃起來有點不配。Mac & cheese ($100)用上sharp cheddar 的通粉果然芝味十足，混了蛋黃後，醬汁變得更濃厚；通粉也難得地不是糊爛，有頭；我忍不住吃了大半碟呢！Corned
