Didn't want to write a negative review.  I've been to Sabatini many times over the years.  

However on a recent visit to their holiday brunch (aka. semi brunch buffet) the quality / service of the food is just disappointing.  

For HKD 798 per person, Sabatini is trying to offer a semi buffet experience.  At that price point, the quality of the food is simply disappointing.  

What really stood out for poor quality: 

1) cold lobster - the lobster meat was tough and over done.  

2) lack of options - everything comes on a pre-arranged plate.  You can refill on request however Sabatini's semi buffet use to offer a wide variety of items, now there are less than 10.   No cheese selection, no cold cut selection, no prawns, no salad.  

3) Pasta - this comes as a surprise.  Portions were stingy, bland and nothing unique.  

4) Main course - unless you order the roast of the day (which usually is the lamb) all other items like the salmon and flank steak are a joke.  You can cook better at home.  

The price of the drink package is more versatile now with 2 options, however the options within the drink package are very limited.  Quality of prosecco / white / red was table wine quality at best.

Foodies beware, I honestly think at this price point you have significantly better options else where.  I think the only way to save this is to either lower the menu to $500 dollars or else improve the quality and selection.  

Good luck
Other Info. : All the good servers are gone. You definitely feel that the service quality has gone way down.
