Understand that this place is ran by a F&B group with over 20 restaurants in Hong Kong. Located in Elgin Street it's not so hard to find. A pretty boutique place, a rather casual setting. Nothing too fancy on the menu. Just standard but casual kind of European food. Asparagus salad with tomato. Decent but not surprising. Calamari. Okay. Thought the taste was a little light and the batter was a little too thick and fell off too easily. Escargots. Quite typical, nothing special. Seafood stew. the

Seafood stew. the soup was very nice. I have to say it's probably one of the best broths I've tasted in Hong Kong. The fried soft shell crab was delicious. The fish inside was also great.
Similar things I'd like to say for the mussels. The soup was excellent. I think the lemon inside the soup worked really well.
However, the quality of the service and staff were rather controversial. I saw them buy a pack of potato chips from across the street and started eating it in the counter (which is pretty much an open area). This really wasn't what I expected in a group managed western restaurant. Certainly did not notice this in other restaurants in the group. Based on this, I'd say there's plenty of room for improvement in that aspect.
Ended up 500 per person including one drink. I have no problem with food but need to work on the staff.
