Firstly I must admit that the restaurant ambience and view is very good, can't beat this in Hk island. Unfortunately that is where it all ends. I haven't been to such a horrible "high class" restaurant in a long long time. I would rank it as top 3 worst experience I ever had.1. Service is horrible. It took them over 30 min to take order for a party of 14. They came over to triple check the orders and they STILL managed to get the orders wrong. Entrees were still coming while people's main course
1. Service is horrible. It took them over 30 min to take order for a party of 14. They came over to triple check the orders and they STILL managed to get the orders wrong. Entrees were still coming while people's main course were coming. Orders were missed. I feel pity for the waitress but he was quite elderly and obviously couldn't really converse good english. (30 minutes later, ie 60 minutes after the 1st person ordered, we still see him discussing with the manager on the orders next to the POS).
2. Food is rubbish. I have made many review on openrice but never had to use this adjective before. 2 steaks came and one the m5 was inedible tough. Another steak was ordered medium well and came as rare. The beef tongue can be best described as salted elastic band. The caesar salad consisted of 4 pieces of lettuce and some condiments - u must be kidding me for $138 and no sauce. Meanwhile I ordered a pasta, which I can describe as overcooked Taglietti with undercooked sauce (taste like uncook egg white) and no taste whatsoever, with some sprinkled beef bits. The only thing I found acceptable on our side of the table was the mini Tapas (italian mixed meat, sausages tasted good).
If u want a nice place for a few drinks this place is lovely (ps $500 for cheapest bottle of cheap wine). If you are coming here for dinner - forget it. We spent over $800 per head and we went to Tsui wah at 11pm to get some Egg/Ham noodles. Im not kidding.
Summary: If you are coming here for drinks and a chat or a smoke thats great. Avoid eating there at all costs.
