Let's start from what I've remembered of this place.Food from start to finish was well-executed except for one odd game dish - rabbit. I'm a bit conventional, but serving game in a hot summer day was just not my thing, so I asked them for a substitution, ended up I got a veggie risotto, fair enough. Here's the ultimate question, is this a place to recommend? This maybe a place for many foodies / connoisseurs to explore and for an adventure, but it is just NOT the place for me. Here's why 1) well

Here's the ultimate question, is this a place to recommend? This maybe a place for many foodies / connoisseurs to explore and for an adventure, but it is just NOT the place for me. Here's why
1) well-executed food doesn't mean it's creative and eye-opening to a special visit which needs to be booked 2-months in advance.
2) the food was well-executed but I do have some recommendations for this restaurant: when a customer asked for regular tap water, don't give him a face of disgusted which made him feel he was committing a crime (to avoid poor service throughout the night, he order a couple distilled in the end)
3) No bread? that's ok. Tight spacing between tables? ok. Babies constantly crying and making noises? I can accept that, but when all of that added up together just didn't quite make it for an exceptional dining experience
4) I know Hong Kong is suffering the problem of inflation, but from $480 to $580 (the time when I made the reservation) to $620 per person just merely over 1.5 yrs, thats quite a price hike which I wasn't too fond of...seriously.
