Read about the good reviews and was excited to have a chance to try this restaurant, but the overall impression was only so-so...There are 2 types of set lunch available, one for $288 and the other for $368.

There are 2 types of set lunch available, one for $288 and the other for $368. The $288 one has several choices for appetizer and main course, while the $368 one has fewer but more expensive dishes.
Like most diners, I had the buffet bar for appetizer. The buffet bar included small pieces of sashimi such as salmon and shrimp (not impressed), bakery basket (the blueberry muffin isn't bad), fruit plate, smoked salmon (the best of all choices), salami, parma ham with melon (pretty good too), chicken wings, pizza squares, quiche, various vegetables (romaine lettuce, mushroom, grilled pepper and eggplant, cucumber etc.), thin beef slices, and cheese.
I had the grilled seabass as my main course, but was very disappointed. The seabass wasn't tender but dried, rough, and tasteless (the texture was similar to steamed fish given in a large Chinese banquet).
Friends ordered the roast of the day, which was sirloin. The presentation was quite bad as it was similar to what a HK style western restaurant would do (ie. a piece of steak, with sauce poured all over, plus a bed of mashed potato beneath, and 2 pieces of cauliflower next to the sirloin). The steak itself was very fatty and the bad-tasting sauce didn't help. Don't forget this is supposed to be an expensive restaurant in IFC, so this dish was a complete failure!
The dessert that came with the set lunch was a blueberry dome with a piece of almond biscotti and a small scope of yuzu sorbet. The sorbet was refreshing, and the blueberry dome (blueberry mousse covering a chocolate cake with some blueberry preserve) tasted alright.
I'd only come again for the buffet bar, but nothing else. For $288, there are other choices to choose from even in Central!
题外话/补充资料：
Just like other similar restaurants, you are only given the choice of bottled water.
Menu is online on the restaurant's website.
