Needed to book a quick lunch place in Central on a Friday morning and figured it was Restaurant Week so made a booking online. I personally don't eat oyster so I went for the $178 lunch feast which includes the salad and seafood buffet and a mac 'n' cheese and fried chicken station. My friend went for the $198 RW menu which is the usual "lunch feast" plus two oysters to start and a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. (A plate of three oysters on a normal day is priced at $85.)The meal began with
The meal began with a cream of sweet corn soup (and oysters). Nothing spectacular there (although I don't know about the oysters!).
The salad bar includes a good selection of leafy greens, cured meat, whole grains, nuts and other starchy carbs, most of them pre-dressed. Veggies are fresh enough and offered a great start to the meal.
The reuben sandwiches are very American (seemingly with no sauerkraut) with a fat piece of real cheese and quite a few layers of corned beef sandwiched between crispy, toasted bread. I think I took at least six of those bites.
Seafood wasn't all that disappointing for $178. Poached prawns were full of crunch and juice; mussels were slightly below par size-wise; squid and smoked salmon were standard. Things were refilled quickly and everything was generally better than I could ask for.
Mac 'n' cheese was very tasty, but most people would find that they'd be too full to finish a portion, especially when there's still crispy fried chicken and sausage gumbo waiting for you. That said, we later found out that the latter two items were not very special.
At the end of the meal we ordered coffee, which is not included in either the RW menu or the normal lunch feast menu.
Service was excellent. The seating area (on 5/F) looks slightly too tightly packed and busy, but when you really sit down it's private and cozy enough for a two-hour conversation. Given how easy it was to book this place, I'm definitely going to return.
