I read that Mickael Le Lalvez (former French Window) has resided at Brass restaurant so I was looking forward to his creative food and artistic presentation. As soon as I enter the restaurant I sense something is missing. The name inplies brasserie but the decor do not really reflects the cuisine. The room is decorated with artificial plants, fung shui cascade fountain and sheer curtains with a long bar /buffet counter and feels more like a cafe than a restaruant. The lunch is a semi buffet menu
I read that Mickael Le Lalvez (former French Window) has resided at Brass restaurant so I was looking forward to his creative food and artistic presentation. As soon as I enter the restaurant I sense something is missing. The name inplies brasserie but the decor do not really reflects the cuisine. The room is decorated with artificial plants, fung shui cascade fountain and sheer curtains with a long bar /buffet counter and feels more like a cafe than a restaruant. The lunch is a semi buffet menu with salad and dessert bar and a choice of main. I opt for the grill salmon as i was not too hungry. The salad bar was ok and comprises mainly of cold cuts and salad, which does not require too much techniques. There was a few choice of innovative salad dressing such as truffle and curry flavour. When the main course arrived, we were dissapointed because the dish is neither classic french nor brasserie style. It was just a piece of fish with 3 tomatos garnishes. The presentation or technique is not from the same chef that i know. The dessert bar didnt do any better. There was only 2 choice which is chocolate mouse and fruit salad and is ordinary. The price for the meal is HK$238+, It was not exactly cheap and comparatively GOLD offer much more value and quality.
The restaruant is operated by the same owner as ZENKU and given that restaruant business is highly competitive, I think Brass need to find its own niche soon. Fortunately , they have a team of friendly and attentive staffs so hopefully things will improve soon.
