Here for very early dinner with kids, so 5 of us in all. Not busy, quickly seated. Pleasant surroundings, and they quickly turned down the ridiculous and irritating music when asked.Food. We ordered a variety of dishes to share. Linguine vongole was good. Fresh, perfectly cooked, well seasoned and flavoursome sauce. One of the better ones we have had in hk. Spag bolognese advertised with wagyu beef, I guess to justify a nice big price for them. This was disappointing, too much meat, slopp
Food. We ordered a variety of dishes to share. Linguine vongole was good. Fresh, perfectly cooked, well seasoned and flavoursome sauce. One of the better ones we have had in hk. Spag bolognese advertised with wagyu beef, I guess to justify a nice big price for them. This was disappointing, too much meat, sloppily presented, a bit overcooked. They would be well advised to get the cooking right before wasting money on wagyu. A salad was fresh, if small. For the kids, they loved the chicken quesidillas, and we had a pretty nice selection of cakes and dessert and decent if not great coffee. So overall food was ok, with some misses.
Service was an issue. It wasn't busy but we had to work hard to flag down staff when we needed. Mistakes were made, table not cleared etc. Manager needs to be more in control here, assign waiters to tables, make people take responsibility, its called service, so serve. The two managers seemed busy on computers, not managing. If you must do the accounts or play angry birds, do it when the restaurant is shut.
Happy enough to come again if i'm passing, but would not make a special trip.
