The Press Room (已結業)

餐廳窗戶隱隱透出燈光，穿越灰色水泥地，遇到從工作壓力逃出來的人潮，手執酒杯暢談，再也沒有更放鬆的一刻。視線越過人堆，目光落在燈光昏暗的晚膳廳。隨著侍應引領，我和友人坐下來，一同化身為卸下重擔的人群。餐廳週的餐牌提供了頭盤和主菜各三種選擇，素聞這裡的Hanger Steak水準不俗，當然不會錯過，頭盤最吸引我的是Beef Carpaccio。這夜，牛取代海鮮成為我的至愛。甜品共有兩款Calvados Parfait和Chocolate Marquise，其中朱古力那款乃我的心水，正好讓我如願。麵包以木砧板盛著，牛油沒甚麼特別，麵包則充滿麵粉香，算不錯了~友人的頭盤—洋蔥湯—香氣四溢，夠稠身和濃郁，內裡的麵包吸滿湯汁，面層的芝士更起著畫龍點晴的作用，其咸香突顯了洋蔥的鮮甜，連向來不好芝士的友人都很欣賞。Beef Carpaccio最講究用料，這裡的出品就沒令人失望，簡單的加點海鹽、胡椒已能帶出牛肉味，配以爽脆且味帶辛辣的火箭菜，味道豐富具層次感，不夠咸的話，伴碟的水瓜欖亦能助你一把。頭盤過後，不消三分鐘，主菜便上桌，上菜速度反映了店方的細心。友人的主菜是Chilean sea bass。爐

The food was ok - nothing special. Service was very slow. At 9pm the server finally came over to take our desert order (after giving us the menus 15 minutes earlier) and informed us that we didn't have time for dessert as we had to give the table up for another reservation! After some discussion we were able to stay and half the tables in the restaurant remained empty - very confusing and not a great experience.

因為上次「抽仲」一張free dessert coupon,我這甜品癡,沒辦法把它忘記,所以都是要應用它。lunch time人客疏落,不用等位。當我出示那coupon,選了Banoffee Sundae時。誰知店長說要在餐牌上order一點東西,方可用。心諗:信上沒寫明"惠顧送甜品"；只寫著"甜品不可選什麼什麼"。不過......哪有「優惠」劵是真有消費者的著數吖??terms最後一定附帶一句,「一切決定權由餐廳作主,如有更改,將不另作通知」之類。只好怪自己太天真,莽想自己真的仲「獎」。唯有order一樣自己想吃的東西啦!三文魚魚籽醬炒蛋$91,蛋嫩滑得要命!!當中一定加了不少忌廉/奶/牛油。「蛋」本身散發難以抗拒的淡香特質+煙三文魚的咸,味道極平衡美味!令我想起在高級酒店吃自助早餐,會狂吃的滑蛋......小小碟的蛋,很快給我消滅完,sundae可上了。鹽味焦糖雪糕,好好吃!更出色的是,糖漿醃過的香蕉片,仍保留到,吃新鮮香蕉的,腍中帶少許"爽"口感覺!Press Room我不會再去了,自問不是"半唐番",在這太西方人聚集,serve慣外國人的中國人店員,我自己感到渾身不自在。

The Press Room 是荷里活道其中一間很有名氣的餐廳. 朋友在中環上班經常到那裡晚飯和午飯. 星期六晚我們很早7:00便到, 帶位的態度很一般. 我們打開 Menu 絕大部份都是海鮮類. 我們選了entree caesar salad, mushroom soup 都 ok. 另外 crab dressing 就差一點, 是碎蟹肉做成的, 味道一般.Main course 我們選魚, fish of the day 是 sole 魚, 煮法以焗為主, 配檸檬和橄欖油. 可能因為是fish of the day, 條魚由 chef 親自拿出來, 之後有兩位侍應和經理問味道如何. 其實味道太油和有點咸. 朋友選的seabass, 味道ok. 另外又點了 lobster benedict, 很有 lobster 味, 不錯.甜品朋友點了 lemon suffle, 要等二十分鐘, 份量很少, 味道可以.

Met up with my classmates for an early lunch/late brunch at The Press Room.It is not a very big space, but it portrays quite a rustic feel with the brick walls and big blackboards listing out their wine selection and daily specials. Their menu is on a printed A3 sheet, and they have a section for brunch items as well as a mix of starters, pastas, burgers, sandwiches and dessert selection.We all chose from the brunch section.I had the eggs florentine. Two perfectly poached eggs with runny yolk on

Just dropped in for a quick snack and a beer while waiting for a friend,Big mistake,all i wanted was a beer and a quick snack,After getting the attention of the waiter/bar-man(who for some reason was just staring at the ceiling)i ordered a leffe blonde and asked for the menu,along came the bottle,no glass,i went to the bar and got glass myself,ahh calamari ,great ill order that,along came the calamari(6 pieces)stacked artfully,wow i thought to myself,bit into it and oil dripped down my cheeks an

為慶祝基督教顯現節,法國傳統這個時間會製皇者蛋糕。我也唔執輸,到這家洋人餐廳碰碰運氣。何解?因為The Press Room推廣,凡惠顧皇者蛋糕,如那件蛋糕找到一粒紅豆,即免費招待。我吃的那件就沒喇,不過仍可參加抽獎。我就抽到免費甜品,可供下次用。講番件皇者蛋糕$55,是酥皮包著杏仁牛油蛋糕。好普通喎!酥皮不是脆,蛋糕也不見幼滑。突然醒起,曾在「法國雪山咖啡」也吃過一件,即製,而且熱烘烘的皇者蛋糕……噢!今次真是有點多餘。吃蛋糕之餘,亦order了Cappuccino,好飲,但稱不上出色。Waiter/waitress很友善,但因食物沒驚喜,沒book位,坐在高枱椅上,側邊不斷有人來去往來,感覺想快d走。

We choose the set lunch.Starter - mushroom soup. Tasted fine with plenty of chopped up mushroom. Main course - Cod fish fillet with white wine sauce served on a bed of mash potato and vegetables. Firstly, the size of the plate was very big so compared to the tiny fillet of the fish, the fish looked rather humble. The fish tasted really bland, the sauce did not taste like white wine sauce but some ordinary white sauce. I also tried my friend's turkey dish (there were 3 pieces of turkey with the

So a big group of us decided to celebrate a birthday at the Press Room, big mistake. First and for most I guess the new trend now in HK is any restaurant that resembles one you might find in NYC is hip, believe you me most of these places in NYC are below par so copying the idea, menu and theme is a disaster unto itself. So lets start with how the night went down hill just from the wines, we had them open at least 5 bottles and returned them all as they all tasted like cheap vinegar (note we cho

一般來說，Pub與fine-dining似乎一點扯不上關係，但位於上環荷里活道的Press Room，予人感覺就是既有pub的輕鬆悠閒氣氛，又有fine-dining的精緻美食享受，值得推介!是晚由中環SOHO步行過去，也要花一點腳骨力的。經小小的入口進店後，首先進入眼廉是新鮮吸引的海鮮陣；再穿過酒吧區，就是高樓底的主餐區，店內食客以外藉人仕為主，暗暗的環境與SOHO的Frites Belgium on Tap很似，都是輕鬆舒服，不過幾難拍照的。等待主角期間，與靚女友人先享用了麵包盤，其中軟滑的牛油極得我心，我幾乎想將之清光! 研究餐牌一輪，與友人先點了菜，待人齊才吩咐上菜；店方在這方面時間拿捏不錯，首先是兩款starter size的pasta / risotto：Carbonara($98)-平實賣相下，煙肉口味特香，與濃厚忌廉蛋汁交融效果相當美味，意粉又軟硬適中口感一流，美味之下大家都覺得不太夠喉，有早知的話，該點$148的主菜portion的!Lobster risotto($140)-抱有重大期待的一味，賣相也頗為揀人，結果卻是失望：因龍蝦殼的燶苦味蓋過了龍蝦鮮味，意大利飯本

This place is conveniently located to my apt, so I have gone a few times. I will continue to go back, but I think more for the location than the food. Everything is good, but not great and usually underseasoned.My only actual complaint would be that one time there was a giant thread of some sort in my salad. I know this kind of stuff happens, and they bought me a drink, but still EW.I've ordered the French Onion Soup (you can get better at Liberty Exchange but it's a bit of a walk when I'm starv

yet still so crowded....for some reasons, this place is very crowded. I cannot say the food is of superb quality, though it's not bad. plus, there is a carpark, quite convenient, except that it's very easy to get lost if you don't know the way.tonite, i loved the prawn cocktail, but the rest is just okay. may be their brunch is better.

星期日到Pressroom食brunch，好多人!兩個人叫咗: salmon &cod fish cake lobster avocado sandwich homemade scones(我的最愛) latte x 2 Scones 大大個暖暖地都唔錯幾好食! Lobster Avocado Sandwich麭包熱熱地而filling 是凍的，味道ok，薯條好好味。最特別喺salmon &cod fish cake 少少salty 但都好好味。服務都不錯，下次將會試吓食晚餐。

I feel like I am in a café in New York/Europe whenever I come here. It’s unpretentious with high ceilings and chalkboard menu, great place to chill and catch up with friends. We had onion soup, very very filling but very yummy, just remember not to stuff yourself with bread before you have this. For main we had croque madame (good), egg and sides of hash brown (nothing special) and lobster avocado sandwich (ok) with fries (yum!). Been here previously and had waffles and mac and cheese which I th

Had another get together with friends tonight. Been hearing a lot about Press Room for a while but honestly never got the chance to go since it's kind of 'out of the way' in Sheung Wan for me. Environment - Overall quite comfortable and casual decor. I love the high ceilings and the chalkboard menus on the wall. Although the place was full it didn't feel cramped. Tables could be a tiny bit bigger since I felt at times the plates (which were on the large size) did clutter up the table slightly.
