As Sai Kung has become the next "hot weekend destination" for families looking to get away from the city hustle and bustle, my friend started researching for new hip restaurants to explore in the area. I personally have been living in SK for over 6 years and have come to adore the restaurant scene here - the turnover rate is still frequent but we believe Bones & Blades is here to stay for the long run!I had a party of 4pax and we made reservations ahead of time - upon arrival, we discovered that
I had a party of 4pax and we made reservations ahead of time - upon arrival, we discovered that there was outdoor seating in the back so smokers are welcomed. It was the first time we visited this restaurant and I must say the service was amazing. The manager Jessica was friendly and outgoing, and our party just felt so welcomed! We hung out, chitchatted and was even recommended an off the menu steak for sharing plus a series of sides that included freshly cased sausage from that morning! Jessica showed us a video of how the sausage was made and how their leading butcher designed the flavors herself, and we definitely didn't regret a single item we ordered that night.
The atmosphere was great, and since we were seated outdoors, there was much more freedom and flow of fresh air (very important during this day and age of COVID dining). Seating was comfortable and there was enough room to fit 6pax at our table.
The first to arrive was the beef tartar - since I don't favor raw proteins, my friends were the one who commented saying the bread was toasted to a crispy perfection and the tartar was full of rich flavors.

Next was one of my favorites - the pate which came with crispy toast and fried garlic crisps. It was so rich and fragrant that we had to order a second helping of bread to finish the plate (the server as extremely nice and catered to our hungry hungry hippo demands). This is a MUST TRY and great appetizer if you're looking to share with a large group.

Then came the pork belly which was nice and crunchy on the outside and slightly soft on the inside. It was a tad too crispy for me but that's only my personal preference as I like pork belly super soft. It's very well seasoned and the aioli dipping sauce was to die for.

We were almost full by then with the appetizers when the freshly cased sausage arrived (we soldiered through)! The texture was softer than I imagined but exploding with rich flavors. The manager would visit our table every so often to ask for our opinions, and we actually engaged in a nice little discussion on the amount of heat should go into each link to make the flavors pop even more - she really knows her food and we can feel the heart she has in her staff, chef, butcher, and restaurant as a whole.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to post any steak photos because we basically devoured it upon arrival - our cameras didn't make it to capture the gorgeous moment. But I can say, it was a perfect cook at medium rare, super juicy with a great bite. We paired it with a bottle of wine and that's when the party began.
We were stuffed but couldn't leave without a nice dessert. We opt for the lava cake, but unfortunately it was sold out so we ordered the Cookies and Cream which was soft, gooey, and oh so delicious! We took a shot and asked Jessica whether there was ice-cream and she graciously offered us vanilla a la mode on the house - it was the perfect pairing to a lovely evening. NO REGRETS with the cookie and cream at all!

I think by the end of the evening, we were chatting with everyone including the server (Rock/Rocky) and the dining experience was just unforgettable. I will definitely visit again with friends and see if we can secure the outdoor area for any private gatherings.
Lastly, the whole bill was approx. $500-600 per person which wasn't bad at all for the amount of food and wine we ordered (remember, we ordered the off the menu steak as well) so I would recommend this restaurant to anyone if you're exploring Sai Kung or the area!
