We've been eating at this place occasionally since about 2 years ago. The quality is consistently good, in a very comfortable, almost-rustic environment. Perfect conclusion to a long hike on Lantau. Food is fabulous. Restaurants in Central/Wanchai charge 2-3x more for food that's not always as good. We had:1. Black mussels in white wine and cream sauce, with crusty bread.

We had:
1. Black mussels in white wine and cream sauce, with crusty bread. Mussels are so fresh (flown in from Seattle weekly), they're very creamy, almost like fresh oysters. Bread was made of spelt flour toasted just right. Tastes very wholesome, slightly sweet and nutty. Very fragrant too. Spelt flour is a 9000-year old grain, 1 of 7 named in the bible! Mussels are better than the ones we had in Belgium restaurants
2. Yellowfin tuna - cooked medium rare on the bbq pit. Has the charred bbq fragrance. Large, generous portions. Dave showed us the raw slab of tuna - very fresh, pinkish-orange. VERY GOOD
3. Pizza - as good as ever. Thin crust, with long stringy cheese. Best i had in HK.
4. As with the food, the white wine we had is really good value.
For digestif, we had Irish Coffee and Irish Chocolate respectively. Both were very fragrant with a generous amount of whiskey. My chocolate had the fragrance of irish baileys as well. For only the grand sum of $45 each.
Enough said...you just got to try it yourself!
