Yummy food, wine & good company

When you first walk into the restaurant it's clear that the owners have focused on the details. You're welcomed by an impressive showcase of wines, and a more intimate atmosphere compared to other fine dining restaurants in Hong Kong. We sampled the tasting menu which proved every course to be more delicious than the last. Of all the dishes, the two that stood out were the Wagyu beef.

When you first walk into the restaurant it's clear that the owners have focused on the details. You're welcomed by an impressive showcase of wines, and a more intimate atmosphere compared to other fine dining restaurants in Hong Kong. We sampled the tasting menu which proved every course to be more delicious than the last. Of all the dishes, the two that stood out were the Wagyu beef. First, the Australian Wagyu M9+ was cooked perfectly and showed it superior quality - not covered is sauce or seasoning. Its rich flavor had a juicy, almost creamy taste. Crispy outside, tender inside that melts in your mouth - so yummy! The second favorite was the Japanese Wagyu A5, it was so soft and tender, the texture was smooth from the delicate marbling and rich flavor. 

A distinct element - you can pre-order the wine ahead of time and the restaurant will properly decant for you - 3 or 4 hours ahead. Given the extensive list of fine wines, you can truly experience the wine as it should be. We went for a bottle of the Chateau Montrose year 2000 - full-bodied, but not heavy with tannins which makes for a smooth pairing with beef or even the seafood dishes. 

Highly recommend for small groups or gatherings - the entire experience feels more personalized and the wait staff is very attentive.
