So a big group of us decided to celebrate a birthday at the Press Room, big mistake. First and for most I guess the new trend now in HK is any restaurant that resembles one you might find in NYC is hip, believe you me most of these places in NYC are below par so copying the idea, menu and theme is a disaster unto itself.

So a big group of us decided to celebrate a birthday at the Press Room, big mistake. First and for most I guess the new trend now in HK is any restaurant that resembles one you might find in NYC is hip, believe you me most of these places in NYC are below par so copying the idea, menu and theme is a disaster unto itself. So lets start with how the night went down hill just from the wines, we had them open at least 5 bottles and returned them all as they all tasted like cheap vinegar (note we chose wines from S. America, France, USA...All bad) they need to re think their list or get a real wine Sommelier. On to the food, we all found the menu to be simple and somewhat boring nothing really was a "signature" or special. I ended up having grilled seafood (over priced for the portion) it was good but then again how hard is it to mess up grilled seafood? Some of our party chose the wagyu beef burger, now a burger is very difficult to mess up yet they managed to mess up on a few of the temperatures so new ones had to be ordered and at that point they came back to tell us that they ran out of wagyu and can make new ones with regular ground beef! So you can imagine how thrilled the guests were who chose the wagyu and got chuck instead. Lastly the desserts, they actually have a "pastry executive chef" yet the desserts were bland, boring, cold when they should be hot and hot when they should be cold. We were a big enough group that we all chose a different dessert and tasted everyones and we all came to the conclusion that the pastry chef was not doing them any favours, maybe pre made desserts would work out better for them and the customers. The only pleasant thing about the evening was the service the waiters were attentive polite and non-pushy. What a bad birthday dinner!
