Having had a busy day at work, we were famished and looking for a good quick bite after work. We passed by Johnny Boyz and remembered vaguely that it had good ratings on Openrice, and so we sat down at this quaint restaurant. The inferior was dimly lit, with wooden furnishings and antique decorations here and there, exuding a homely cozy ambience. Service was also quite amateur and you can tell that it was a family business. To complete the home experience, they had a TV on, which was playing a
Our two Lobster Bisques ($98x2) arrived swiftly after our order, to the comfort of our starving tummies. The bisque was flavorful, and would be a good soup if you take away any expectations. But as a lobster bisque, I couldn't really locate much lobster flavor in there; if somebody told me it was a tomato and parmesan soup, I would probably believe that.
We ordered the Carpetbag Ribeye Steak ($498+100), which was listed at $498 on the menu, but apparently there was an extra $100 to be paid because there were oysters inside. I didn't understand why they couldn't just list out $598 on the menu, but in any case, that's what we ordered. It came shortly, served in a pond of black pepper sauce alongside sauteed cabbage. I guess the steak was around 15oz, which wasn't cheap for what this restaurant was. The oysters were small ones and few, I think it would be wiser to use a thicker cut to fit in a proper amount of oysters, even at a higher price tag, which would justify itself. The dish was average, but I applaud their ambition of including it on their menu.In all fairness, I would like to point out that we did not order any oysters, which the restaurant was mainly known for. And to be honest, food aside, I quite enjoyed the laid-back dinner with TV juice (HKers will understand this).

A homely meal outside home, especially if you enjoy TVB with your home-dinners.
