I have reserved a table for two since it was me and my girlfriend's 5th annual anniversary. Since we would be having dinner with my parents at night, I decided to celebrate this with my girlfriend in the afternoon. She was worried about that having a buffet with main course and pasta might be a bit too much, and she also thinks dining at night would be better in terms of celebration. However, when we got up to the restaurant, she totally changed her mind. The restaurant was at the 31st floor in
The atmosphere would not be boring there. The first thing you see when you walk into the restaurant should be the big window. Through that you can enjoy the view of Causewaybay. Although there was no sea and mountains, the view was quite adorable. The restaurant has some live piano music playing, with beautiful crystal lights on the seiling and a bit of air conditioning, it gives you a very comfortable atmosphere.
We first ordered some appetizer, we asked if there is any the waitress would recommend to us, she then patiently introduced us to several kinds of appetizer, and we finally opened a bottle of it, which I do not know the name though. As we have chose to be having semi-buffet with a pasta and a main course, since I was really hungry, we could enjoy getting as much antipastis as we like to. We decided to order our main course and pasta first, and then would get our starters. I ordered a angel hair with shrimp in tomato sauce for my pasta, and a sirloin steak for my main course. My girlfriend has only ordered a lamb chop stick.
For starters, there were 4-5 kinds of salad, smoked salmon, some baked scallops. They were quite fresh, the scallops were quite good, good texture, good taste with loads of cheese on it.
The pasta was made as soon as you order it. Our angel hair came quite fast so we stopped taking starters and focusing on our pasta. The angel hair was nice, creamy but not too full, with some sour tomato sauce would give you more desire of eating. The schrimps were quite fresh too, and the size was acceptable. The overall size of the pasta was not too much, as it was to make you feel even more hungry, for the main course to be eaten quickly. The sirloin also came very fastly. The texture of the meat was smooth, hot and tasty. Together with the sweet and sour red-wine sauce, tasted funny, but quite delicious. The red-wine sauce was quite sweet, so that the taste of the red wine would not be too strong. The sauce was also peeped into the steak, so that the stick would not be too dry. My girlfriend's lamp chok was also quite nice. The mint sauce reduces the weird smell and taste that usually lamb has, the surface of the almb was pan fried until it is crunchy, and that's why the lamb was quite nice too.
I was so full that I could not eat anymore. My girlfriend however got plates of desserts back to the table and I had no choice but to try some. The cream brulee was nice. Crispy surface, nicely burned, with smooth cream inside. The other one that I think should be praised was their homemade Gelato, I personally am so keen on blueberries. So I got myself a blueberry flavour one and it was seriously fantastic. It was smooth, icy and a bhit sour, which therefore became the very last thing I was eating as I took plates of them. Anyway it was a really treasurable moment that me and my girlfriend definately had a good time, we appreciated the great food, great atmosphere and finally the great service.
