Finally Friday and a beautiful summer night...was craving two things - steak, and a patio. Always wanted to try this restaurant and thought tonight would be the night. Made reservations before hand. It was quiet when we got there around 7, but picked up later. We sat on the terrace. View was ok, but really you're essentially surrounded by buildings and see only rooftops. It was dinner for two tonight, and we wanted to try a few dishes, so we ordered a crab cake (HKD190) and half dozen oyste
It was dinner for two tonight, and we wanted to try a few dishes, so we ordered a crab cake (HKD190) and half dozen oysters (HKD210) to share. Both weren't bad, but pretty on-par with what I had before.
Then came our mains, which we also intended to share - 12 oz rib eye (HKD490) and a cobb salad (HKD160). Meat was cooked to order, but my fault for carelessly ordering medium well. Red meat should generally be eaten at least medium rare, so it was a waste in my opinion. With that said, it was still pretty tasty needless to say. The steak came with four kinds of sauces and mustards, but surprisingly no horseradish. Steak with no horseradish?
Our friends came to join us later, and they both ordered fish. The salmon was AMAZING, so it was described to me. Not flaky, not dry...juicy!! Probably the highlight dish of the night. Sorry, no pic....cellphone forgot to eat first before the person!Had two beers and a gin and tonic. Wouldn't recommend the gin and tonic, mine was a bit "light". Friend ordered a mojito, which she asked for a new one because it was also not quite well made. Positive thing to say was that they happily made one, which was more to friend's liking. Service was not bad, will give it 2 thumbs up.
It was a good evening, overall, but other than going up for a drink or two on the terrace, its probably a one-time try for me. I got to shout out to the live band though, good choice of songs!
