Under a special occasion, we could enjoy a buffet dinner at the price $248+10% per person at DAP. Seeing the comments here are quite positive, which give me confidence to pay a visit. Surprised me that I had to make reservation for a table by three weeks eariler (since the dates I proposed were ALL FULL), I wonder it must be a very popular restaurant? The first impression when I arrived the first floor of DAP, a strong terrible smell was spread out from toilet, which just locates at the end of t
The first impression when I arrived the first floor of DAP, a strong terrible smell was spread out from toilet, which just locates at the end of the narrow corridor outside the restaurant. I wondered if the outside condition is such horrible, how good the quality of the food could be in the restaurant?
We were settled in a separate room in DAP, which looks quite sophisticated actually. I adore the Victorian style in the house. The semi dinner buffet is actually about unlimited filling of appetizers, desserts and wines. You could only choose one main course from the provided list.
To be honest, it’s actually quite disappointing of the limited choices for appetizer and dessert (I couldn’t eat too much though). Moreover, the speed of refilling is horribly slow... this strategy of DAP is smart. It claimed as ‘buffet’ but actually it is quite limited. The Salad green tasted fine, but that’s nothing to deal with the cooking skill of the Chefs from DAP. Fishes sashimi tasted ordinary, at least they were clean and not stink. I think the Shrimp cocktail is fairly good out of the rest, shrimp tasted simply fresh.
We had chosen roasted lamb and fried cod fish for our main courses. The lamb tasted good with the balsamic gravy, it’s well cooked that the texture of lamb is soft. The cod fish is my choice, it’s soft like melting. Too bad it’s a bit too small in piece though. The cod fish tasted fabulously gorgeous with the lemon butter sauce. Nice!
The environment here is actually not too bad but the quality of food is just a big contrast. The service here is also a big contrast. I see some whole-hearted friendly staffs while some are really arrogant and cool. I wouldn’t comment much how worst they were, you should check out and experience by yourself. I heard that quite a no. of staffs here are part-time base. Perhaps this’s one of the reasons why they didn’t work enthusiastically. Well, to conclude, main courses here are acceptable but for the parts of 'buffet' were ordinary and disappointing. Heard that the original price for this dinner is HKD500+. It must be kidding me cuz it totally doesn't worth the price and not reaching that level yet. Now we pay HKD200+ per person is just fairly acceptable.
