Came here recently due to recommendations for dinner.To cut it short, I think the so called Dinner Set Menu was not attractive at all - especially when there are no choices for the appetizers and the soup choices are very 'tin' like varieties, very Hong Kong food style.

To cut it short, I think the so called Dinner Set Menu was not attractive at all - especially when there are no choices for the appetizers and the soup choices are very 'tin' like varieties, very Hong Kong food style. The close by Cafe Milano has slightly more choices.
In the end, opted to do A La Carte. The main course dishes are roughly in the $188 + 10% range. It is much more expensive than the set dinner in this sense, although there was no point having soup and appetizers I didn't like anyway.
The main courses, some are quite tasty but some are very Hong Kong like, especially their pastas. There will not be any mistakes that this isn't cooked by a Hong Kong person at all, the tell tale signs of the overly creamy and pungent under-cooked garlic, the not so aldente pasta, plus the way the pasta is mixed together.
Meat tended to be overcooked as well, although the seasoning showed an effort in creating a multi-layered taste.
Not a bad effort at the wine list, but there is a corkage charge if you bring your own.
Generally, its better than a lot of local Western style restaurants, but it hasn't really escaped from the Jimmy's kitchen period - so its still slightly out-fashioned in today's culinary world. As such I think they're over charging the customers - both a la carte as well as dinner sets (having bad selections of choices), plus the portions aren't entirely that big either for the price paid. Over $210 for main courses after 10%, if you think about it.
