From the outside the ambiance looked nice but there were no more seats downstairs so we were lead upstairs. This is a HK style french restaurant, geared for people who do not know what french food is. We should have left before we ordered. There was a set menu available for HK 260 for a 4 course meal. There was soup, appetizer, main and dessert. I ordered the french onion soup and it was such a disappointment even before I tasted it. There  was no melted cheese on top of the soup bowl. The soup

From the outside the ambiance looked nice but there were no more seats downstairs so we were lead upstairs. This is a HK style french restaurant, geared for people who do not know what french food is. We should have left before we ordered. There was a set menu available for HK 260 for a 4 course meal. There was soup, appetizer, main and dessert. I ordered the french onion soup and it was such a disappointment even before I tasted it. There  was no melted cheese on top of the soup bowl. The soup had a piece of toasted soggy french bread and the soup itself tasted like packet soup you get in the supermarket. Next course I ordered escargot in garlic. The snails were nothing special, the seasoning was salty with lots of garlic which probably masked the low quality snails. For main course I had the steak. Just when you think you can't go wrong with a piece of meat, the restaurant was able to mangle the dish. The thin piece of meat was smothered with a thick sauce, similar to a sauce you would get if you went to a Chinese style western restaurant. The meat in itself was very soft which made me think they probably seasoned it with baking soda to soften the meat. For dessert I ordered the ginger soufflé which argueably could be the best on the menu. The soufflé was cooked to order, with a strong taste of ginger. However, there was a strong eggy taste to the soufflé. By the time dessert came I was ready to leave. While the entire course was considered cheap for soho prices, I left the restaurant unsatisfied and wished I had spent my money elsewhere, even if it would cost me double or triple the price I had just spent. 
This restaurant is not for those who want to experience french cuisine or good food for that matter. I wish people coming to this restaurant would know to expect you'll get HK style western food and nothing authentic. The wait staff were attentive and very nice.
