It was lunch time and we ordered 3 items on the a la carte menu. Tuna from the “marinated seafood” section is similar to tuna tartar. The dish is more on the salty side, and we think more acidity could be added, such as fresh lemon juice and balsamic vinegar. Texture and freshness of the tuna is fine, average we would say. Portion isn’t big as it’s an appetizer. Crocchettone is a large filling appetizer for sharing – deep fried potato cake with cooked eggplant and olives on top. The crust was cr
It was lunch time and we ordered 3 items on the a la carte menu. Tuna from the “marinated seafood” section is similar to tuna tartar. The dish is more on the salty side, and we think more acidity could be added, such as fresh lemon juice and balsamic vinegar. Texture and freshness of the tuna is fine, average we would say. Portion isn’t big as it’s an appetizer. Crocchettone is a large filling appetizer for sharing – deep fried potato cake with cooked eggplant and olives on top. The crust was crispy, slightly thick but not oily. The eggplant is tender and flavourful. We then had seafood risotto as the main course, its intended for sharing and we would say the portion is for 1.5 people. The sauce tasted similar to a seafood stew. Risotto is on the tender side – probably to suit the preference of local people. However, the mussels and clams have thin and dry meat, below average. The overall dish is OK.
It's important to put a remark that the service is between minimal and intimidating – we would rather have self-service. It makes us feel that we are inferior people (a common phenomenon in HK). We are used to bad service in HK and we didn’t have any expectations, though the service made us want to finish the food and leave as soon as possible. I’m not that surprised, as I think this restaurant prefers to serve alcohol-loving westerns till late night rather than random locals.
We paid HK$400 for the entire meal (50% off via reservation platform) – honestly that’s the maximum amount of money that we think it's worth, considering the taste, complexity of dishes and services. So having paid this amount, we think it's good value. Note that they don’t serve free water - $25 per head which we didn’t order.
