Good steakhouse

During the soft opening Rex only serves dinner.  The entrance is very low key to the point that one easily misses it - I sure walked past it a couple of times without noticing.  Descending a long stairs with many turns one eventually gets to the dark wood-panelled room, very traditional steakhouse ambience though with some modern elements to bring it up to date.  Limited menu choice, to me it's a bonus point as the restaurant should be focussing on what they are good at, in this case, steaks.  I went for the USDA striploin and it looked a lot bigger than the 16oz suggested.  The steak was perfectly charred on the outside while satisfyingly pink and juicy on the inside - it's cooked to medium and I think medium-rare might suit this cut better.  Taste and texture both rank among the best I had in HK.  Couldn't finish so I had the leftover bagged, made a salad the following day and sliced the cold steak - still delicious and I had a deconstructed steak sandwich for lunch.  
Other Info. : corkage $500 per bottle, waived if purchasing a bottle from their wine list.
