Location: Situated at the former Police Married Quarters site on Hollywood Road, the entire building is definitely unique and a fun place to go at night or on weekends. I would not recommend it for weekday lunch as it is quite far from Central and the warehouse sized lifts are frustratingly slow. It's difficult to find the way the first time, but is actually quite easy to get to once you know your way around. One thing though, for an out-of-the-way, subprime site, they sure do charge as though t
Environment: The unique theme on the outside carries through to the inside. The decor plays on a high-end industrial theme. They jazzed up the industrial environment to become pretty classy. It's good to come at least once just to take a few photos. Try to get a seat in the middle where the ceiling is double in height and you get a full view of the center show piece - a bar that towers all the way to the ceiling.
Service: Lousy - well not everyone. The reception is nice enough and the filipino waitresses were quite good. But the local male waiters were another story. One tried to pressure me to order a bottle of 750ml water, which I could not possibly finish as I was there by myself for a quick lunch. I made a big mistake by order a can of coke which ended up costing $70. I told you, they charge as if they were situated at The Landmark. And YET he seemed annoyed that I "cheaped out" and didn't order that bottle of water! When the bill came and I saw the $70 charge, I said nothing, but rounded up the bill to $300 - with only a $7 tip. My credit card was stuffed back towards me angrily without a single word. As I was leaving, none of the waiters standing idly by the door said a word. Well not all the waiters were bad but it's the few bad eggs which leaves a nasty impression - thus the 1/5 rating isn't too fair on the others.
Food: Not bad actually! I had the tartare beef which was delicious. I think they used duck egg, as it was deep orange. The other courses were OK too. I enjoyed the tiramisu which are foamy. The presentation of the food and the cutlery were interesting.
Conclusion: The environment is unique and worth a visit. The food should not disappoint. However, I found it to be not very good value for money, despite the positive factors. And for such a price, I do not expect such poor service.
题外话/补充资料：
$70 for a coke! Avoid at all cost. Insist on water or just get a cocktail.
