I have been wanting to visiting the Ovolo Southside for quite some time and CIRQLE being the HongKong Restaurant Week winner for Best Menu in Category B gave me the perfect excuse to do so. I made reservation 8 days in advance just in case the restaurant was in high demand on a Sunday night. Our family was really looking forward to spend a nice evening at OVOLO - expectations were high but realistic for boutique hotel type dining. What a disappointment! Upon arrival, we were greeted by a mal
What a disappointment!
Upon arrival, we were greeted by a male host who promptly tried to seat us next to the brightly lit fire escape, in front of the coffee station. We objected immediately and told the host that we made our reservation way in advance. He then announced that there is no walk-ins for Restaurant Week guest and that reservations were all made in advance. He then murmured that all seats were reserved that evening by guest who either wanted to seat in the sofa area or by the window. Reluctantly he bought us to the next table and seated us there......all this took place while the whole restaurant was empty except for one table who guests were about to leave.
The restaurant was fully empty when my husband walked in, he arrived later because he had to park next door as the hotel parking was closed for a special event. Upon entering, he was greeted by the same unfriendly host. We then proceed to order from the Restaurant Week menu while I can't help noticing the same host were moving chairs and arranging table setting for a western couple with a stroller who just walked-in. They were seated in a sofa area that can comfortably seat 6 adults. #whiteprivilege
Food arrived and it was really nothing to rave about. City Super definitely does a better version of the foie gras terrine while serving sea bass with a few slices of chorizo sausages got me really confuse, maybe their version of surf and turf. The dessert tasted stale, I was afraid to bit down to the crumble fearing they might chip my teeth. This was definitely an unforgettable experience for all the wrong reasons.
题外话/补充资料：
*This place is lame. Don’t know why it has four stars, a terrible host and mediocre food means I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK.
