I took some out-of-town friends to the Peak Lookout for what I assumed would be a quality dining experience. I had not been to the restuarant for a few years, but have always been satisfied with it in the past. Unfortunately this time we were not so lucky.Service was patchy: we were seated outside and I requested one of the many heaters for our table (it was quite cold!). Our waiter gave us one but didn't turn it on, then walked off and we didn't see him again for 10min. I had to ask twice more
Service was patchy: we were seated outside and I requested one of the many heaters for our table (it was quite cold!). Our waiter gave us one but didn't turn it on, then walked off and we didn't see him again for 10min. I had to ask twice more for him to turn it on, very strange. Many wines on the list were unavailable (due to an upcoming change of menu we were told), as were several dishes (the waiter had to run back and forth to the kitchen to check what was still on). The food was variable. Some dishes were fine, but the beef bourguignon we were served was dry and came with potatoes so undercooked they were inedible. The vegetable curry was bland and most of it was left.
Overall a disappointing experience. I've had better food and service in Hong Kong at half the price. The only thing going for the restuarant is the (still) incredible venue, but I would not go back or take visitors there any time soon. Maybe will improve after the upcoming menu changes.
