I waited quite a while to come here. The first time I booked they messed up my reservation and I came all the way out there for no reason. Second time I booked online and double checked over the phone. Let’s begin. They serve the meal in three different parts here. First is small bites which are literally just one bite of food. Second are small plates which are barely shareable. And third are the entrees which if you don’t want to read to the end I will tell you to skip bc they are absolutely bo
Let’s begin. They serve the meal in three different parts here. First is small bites which are literally just one bite of food. Second are small plates which are barely shareable. And third are the entrees which if you don’t want to read to the end I will tell you to skip bc they are absolutely boring and subpar for the price.
I went ahead and ordered one of every small bites dish.

This oyster was the perfect bite. Loved it. My date thought it was okay. I would have had a second.

This Swedish sushi is their signature, it’s very good but I found it kind of game-y.

This is hands down their best dish and I would have had seconds, thirds, fourths!!! In the entire menu this is the only item they really stood out as melt in your mouth delicious.
So this was some kind of cauliflower, herring, something “soup” with caviar in the middle? I don’t even know what. It was not remarkable, I would skip this from small plates and get more of the French toast.
Next I tried a couple of small plates:

This is their signature roasted Hokkaido scallop. It’s very good, but I guess I expected something different and it was the same as any other scallop.

This is their veal tartar. Look... I love tartar in all forms but they should have stuck with beef. I think the veal tasted extremely underwhelming, the taste of the meat was far too light.
I think I tried one other dish which was the lobster but I didn’t take a photo. It just tasted like lobster. The small plates all in all were good but absolutely nothing stood out about them.
This beef main course was terrible. Dry and definitely didn’t belong on this menu.
This was was really good but you can barely see it and again, nothing stood out. It was barely two bites for an entree.
Ultimately, Frantzen’s kitchen was a huge disappointment. I think their small bites are rare and nice but the small plates were very ordinary and I would skip every main entree here as it was quite shit. It’s not worth all the hype and price. I’ve had many lavish meals in HK and let me tell you, you can find better. Maybe try their other restaurant, flying elk. I enjoyed that place much more.
