Appetizers - arugula salad, prosciutto with cantaloupe
Salad was wilted, and tasteless - crazy! with arugula, it's spicy and sharp by nature, so when the salad comes tasteless, it makes one wonder, how did they manage to make arugula loose its' pleasantly sharp taste?
The prosciutto was ok - we've had much better, and the cantaloupe was awful...it was crumbly in texture (almost like it had been frozen before and de-frosted).
Main: Gnocchi - mushrooms cheese, asparagus, and pizza - caprese - cherry tomatoes, basil and cheese
Gnocchi - tasted like instant microwave - hard lumps of potato balls, with overcooked mushy asparagus and too much salt!
The pizza was ok - crust was nice and thin, but unfortunately, the cherry tomatoes lacked cherry taste, and for basil...it was hardly discernible...where those tiny green flecks basil?? All we tasted on the pizza was metal-ly tomato sauce and salt...
The service is and has consistently been unfriendly, somewhat high-browed, and at times, even comes across as "what do you want?!?"
Ah, too bad. It seems that the Hong Kong snobbish attitude has rubbed off on the service staff... what ever happened to service with a smile?
