Overpriced and irrelevant

This place is way overpriced for the value of the food.  The HK$98 gazpacho was more creamy and oily than tomato.  They also serve it in plain drinking glass with no spoon.  I love gazpacho, and yet we didn't even finish it.   What was insane was the HK$220 for a tuna tartar appetizer.  I mean, seriously?  HK$220 for a small amount of diced tuna!  Nothing special about it but the price.  For mains, we ordered the Mezze Maniche pasta, which was equally underwhelming.  The pasta was a small portio

This place is way overpriced for the value of the food.  The HK$98 gazpacho was more creamy and oily than tomato.  They also serve it in plain drinking glass with no spoon.  I love gazpacho, and yet we didn't even finish it.   What was insane was the HK$220 for a tuna tartar appetizer.  I mean, seriously?  HK$220 for a small amount of diced tuna!  Nothing special about it but the price.  For mains, we ordered the Mezze Maniche pasta, which was equally underwhelming.  The pasta was a small portion; it had a mild sauce, with five small pieces of anchovy.  Not special, but still better than the duck pasta we also had.

Lastly, we ordered two glasses of wine, and I finished mine first.  When I ordered another, they brought the wine in a new bottle that was the same as the first they poured from, but the wine was off - it tasted totally different than the first glasses we had ordered.  We still had some left in one of the first glasses we ordered, and tried them side by side - totally different.  No idea why. 

So, for two starters, two pastas and three glasses of wine?:  HK$1115.00!!  Rip off.  Will not be back.  I would advise you to stay away.
