Nothing I had in CIAK was bad, but nothing was a true standout either. I went for lunch and this may have been the first time where I thought the a la carts menu was the more economical choice compared to the lunch set which was ~$300 for just 2 courses. Also within the lunch menu choices there were a couple options that had supplementary costs, for example a tuna tartare appetizer would cost ~$80 more - it’s a bit much. The lunch menu, given its price, did not sound extraordinary either, Parma
Anyways me and my friend then decided to split two dishes from the a la carte menu. My eyes were immediately drawn to the black truffle carbonara, which was priced ~$600! That would’ve been a record for the amount of money I’ve spent on one dish of pasta, so we decided to settle for the regular carbonara which was ‘just’ ~$200. And added a spicy sausage from the charcoal grill menu. The complimentary bread we were served was good quality, wish it was served warm, not wow but not bad either. The carbonara was just ok, there’s nothing special to write about it except I’ve had better and larger carbonaras in HK for half the price. The sausage was quite yummy, loved the charcoal flavor, though given that there were two options for the sausage: original and spicy - it wasn’t as spicy as I had hoped. It was served with some horseradish sauce and bread - but I feel they could have done a bit more with it too. This dish was ~$150 Portions were a little on the small side too. Service was decent. The atmosphere is casual - again not indicative of the price. I am willing to shell out money for a great meal - simple Italian food has to be perfect to justify this price. If the food isn’t worth it I would at least want something else nice views, elegant seating - something, but ciak doesn’t offer that either unfortunately.
Overall not worth it, and disappointed, but have heard comments that this restaurant was good once upon a time. Since nothing was ‘bad’ per say I’ll give it an OK rating.
