This is the second time we tried this restaurant.  The first time we tried the a la carte menu at night.  This time we came here for set lunch.  (All prices below do not include the 10% service charge.)

Soup - The pumpkin cream soup is good, but served in quite a small cup that's too small for the regular spoon we're given.

Linguine with beef strips ($118) - Even before we tasted it we saw it has the cheapest possible lowest-grade beef.  After tasting it confirmed our worst expectation - the beef is tough.  Ingredients like this has no place on a $100+ pasta.  We had much better $50 pasta set lunch elsewhere.

Pizza with two toppings ($128) - This is the saltiest pizza I've eaten in my life.  While my choice of topping (ham) contributed to that, I believe too much additional salt must have been added.

Cappuccino - This is a nice surprise - it has a standard (latte-style) art leaf on it.  So visually it is infinitely better than typical cappuccino with no art, let alone one that does not cost extra.  However, its taste of coffee is weak.

Tiramisu ($15) - This is below Italian restaurant standard.  The cake layer is uneven - some parts are dry and hard while other parts are moist.  At this price it is still better than what one can get at Maxim's chain, but it would not worth its regular price ($48 if I remember correctly).

Service - even though there are several empty tables, we requested a change of table but was denied with an excuse of the table being already reserved.  An hour later, some walk-in customers got that table.
题外话/补充资料: At or below this price level there are many, many choices in Tsim Sha Tsui.
