We had a lovely Saturday lunch for my hubby's birthday. There were two menus to choose from: either a-la-carte, or lunch set (with optional wine paring) which was a pretty good deal compared to regular menu.The interior design was elegant and posh - definitely suitable for both group gathering or romantic dates.The waiter and waitresses are super attentive. I think the restaurant definitely offers one of the best services in the industry! We ordered the lunch sets, and you can ask them to change

The interior design was elegant and posh - definitely suitable for both group gathering or romantic dates.

The waiter and waitresses are super attentive. I think the restaurant definitely offers one of the best services in the industry! We ordered the lunch sets, and you can ask them to change certain things on the menu if any diet restrictions. The food portion was not big as expected but very tasteful and to the highest quality. The bread basket served was also very yummy, I definitely indulged on a few of these (*feeling guilty*).

My second time visiting. First visit was also for a lunch. My date for the day (first visit) was very late (so late that, I should have just left). Luckily, I was blessed with a clear and beautiful day and I was able to enjoy the view with a glass of white.My second visit was not as "lucky" - no blue sky, no clear view. I will not even post a photo here. Well, you can imagine.Tosca does have more than a pleasant environment. Big clear windows and situated on the 102/F up at Ritz. Reservation ca

My second visit was not as "lucky" - no blue sky, no clear view. I will not even post a photo here. Well, you can imagine.

Tosca does have more than a pleasant environment. Big clear windows and situated on the 102/F up at Ritz.

Reservation can be annoying. I saw and see no point of visiting without a window seat table. Booked a few months ago. Rang up twice to follow up for a window seat and they still could not guarantee it. It could really be a bit annoying.

To be honest, I do not understand the hassle, at all. You book early enough, you request a window seat table, the restaurant counts the number of table booked with explicit request to be by the window seat, the restaurant confirms with the ones who rang early! They kept saying "we could not tell you until the day"... right; there are not THAT many tables, is it so difficult to do seating plans?

Also, at Ritz, at Tosca; paying this price - you expect pretty good service. Well, the waiters and waitresses took the orders professionally, presented the dishes professionally. But - when they were not directly serving you, they did not really look out for you (e.g. no one refilled our water). You would expect a bit more from this place.

Food

Bread basket - served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Bread, something so simple; yet so difficult to give the awe factor. This was given for a table of 4. Not warm. Nothing impressive. The "pizza-style" slice was slightly more interesting. They offered to refill after we finished it.

starter... not that good

Scallops as starter. I must say this is quite disappointing. The scallops themselves were fresh. Presentation was nice too. I had great expectations when I saw this dish; the thick mustard-coloured sauce looked very flavourful. But (and significantly) it was tasteless.

Pasta. It is not too difficult to do a nice tomato sauce base. It is not easy to do a nice white sauce base. It is very difficult to do a good pasta dish in neither tomato nor white sauce. Sorry, but this was bad. Asked for some cheese, hoping to make it better. Served with super-market-style-ready-to-be-used cheese powder. (and I did not see how the asparagus could ever compliment this dish.)

dessert - now this is much better - its a good!

I had no expectations for the dessert. But pleasantly, it was quite good. Interesting twist from the traditional tiramisu. Not "alcoholic" enough, but very creamy. Nice.

Ended with tea/coffee and petit four.

Overall, quite a disappointing experience.

I ordered a la carte for my first visit and it was way better. Still not amazing, but with the view, you could be persuaded to return.

BUT with such a mediocre meal (plus with poor visibility though not Tosca's fault). Would I come again? Not too interested.

(Yes Sky 100 costs you HK$150 to get up. Some may argue that you might as well pay for a bit more and get a lunch. But why don't you buy yourself a drink at Ozone instead?)

The view should be COMPLEMENTING our experience, not COMPENSATING.When Tosca cannot control the weather, the visibility, the sun, the moon and the star; Tosca can only focus and work on the food. The appeal of the view will not always be able to compensate the quality of the food. (maybe it was just a bad lunch menu for my day, maybe the chef did not have a good night, maybe maybe)

Kind of like in life. You can only do the best that you can; many other factors are out of your control.
