I was saddened to hear that the Tin Hau restaurant had closed but happy to find the Peel Street one much nearer to home. The decor is very clever and there is (relatively) a lot more space but still cosy - it can seat about 10 people and has a nice little terrace which can be completely covered & can seat another 4 or so.Corkage is low - only HKD100 so BYO is a great option.

Corkage is low - only HKD100 so BYO is a great option. Otherwise there is a big selection of wine available at very reasonable prices. The menu is limited so best to ask when you book the table & if possible choose already what you want to eat.
I started with oysters - there is usually a selection of 6 or so different kinds. This time, the Scottish Rock were the largest I have ever seen & very tasty. My friend had pan fried foie gras which she polished off happily.
After that we shared a salad, some lovely juicy scallops and absolutely delicious Alaskan crab claws.
We finished up with a piece of steak which, I have to say, was quite disappointing. It was too chewy & not as good as I have had on previous occasions. Also, a suggestion for the steak plate: warm the plate please - it helps keep the food hot.
Service is great and there is more staff and a proper kitchen (than Tin Hau) which speeds up matters greatly.
