Another European Dining Disappointment

My friends and I had high hopes of this restaurant after reading the menu on-line and various reviews. The wine selection was not huge with nothing under $320 which given the no tax on wine situation in HK gives them a nice profit! The waitress allowed us to sample a couple of whites so we could make a choice - the cheaper wine was pretty bad so we settled on the pricier bottle.

My friends and I had high hopes of this restaurant after reading the menu on-line and various reviews. The wine selection was not huge with nothing under $320 which given the no tax on wine situation in HK gives them a nice profit! The waitress allowed us to sample a couple of whites so we could make a choice - the cheaper wine was pretty bad so we settled on the pricier bottle. Two of us went for the set meal of 3 courses and two of us just went for a main so we could share starters and dessert. One of my friend's wanted to know the difference between the hanger steak and rump steak and the waitress was able to say it came from different parts of the cow but couldn't recommend one over the other. From the way she spoke she definitely hadn't tried either dishes - maybe she's vegetarian but she should have better info. Our starters were the beef carpaccio and goats cheese with bacon pastry and beetroot. The carpaccio had a too strong flavour which we didn't finish but the tart was good. The waiting staff then brought our main courses before they had cleared the starters. Luckily the restaurant wasn't that busy so they could put plates down on adjoining tables! I had the venison, one friend the hanger steak and my other two friends the slow cooked rump steak. All the mains arrived with a side salad which was nice and fresh. The venison was a good portion with a nice side of braised red cabbage but needed a bit more sauce to add flavour. My friend's hanger steak was OK but she makes better at home. The slow cooked rump steak was tough and dry - the whole point of slow cooking is surely to tenderise the meat. We decided to order one more bottle of white wine and wanted to change our selection as the previous white was OK but not great. Again the waitress allowed us to have a sample and when we said OK disappeared. After about 15 minutes we finally got the maitre d's attention who brought us our wine. For dessert we had the cheese selection and the lemon tart. The cheese selection was good and the right temperature and the tart was OK. Several of the dishes we ordered had a surcharge if they were part of the set meal and overall we found the meal too expensive for the level of food and service. It's great they are trying to be organic etc but for the prices they are charging we expect better tasting food and wine.
