I don't write a lot of food reviews but if I write one, it's mostly a bad food review. A negative review of a cafe in Quarry Bay by celebrity chef. It’s truly disappointing or am I expecting too much from a celebrity chef?!?! Sorry but not sorry on my review. I had friends who went and tried and no good reviews about Grotto so far. Not sure whether we had a high benchmark on good food or others were too low.

Coffee:
Poor! Thought this was the soul of a cafe.....
The cafe offered fruity and nutty blend. Could taste the difference between the two blends, but fruity was too roasted and nutty was over roasted. Froth.....not fine and shiny and a sip short according to the cup presented. My coffee at home aren’t too bad after all.
Flat white (fruity blend)

Food:
Signature Stones (scones), nothing special and no surprise. Had Grandma’s Scones before, so it’s unnecessary to have this at this cafe. The rhubarb jam (meant to taste similar to roasted apples), it’s rare but there is always a reason why traditional scones use berries or citrus jam, so see for yourself.

Service:
Friendly but weren’t educated on their food and servings, including but not limited to, the portion of cream and jam and the name of the ingredients (rhubarb) in the jam. I understand it’s soft opening but at least know what kind of food they are serving.

Cafe deco:
Owner did have some thoughts on the colors, paintings and the arch entrance etc. However, cafe was too noisy, sound absorption item/ deco was not considered and music was too loud to have a nice chat with friends. Obviously no one did sit down and listen to the sound and ambience level before the opening. As a result, the target audience weren’t clear, not sure if this is a dine and leave cafe or a cafe to chill and relax. Idk idk idk. Also that marble plate on marble table, didn’t work too well.....
