(English version below)早前去過樓上同樣屬於Ritz Carlton的Café 103時喝過他們的咖啡覺得好正，以爲Ritz Carlton所有的咖啡都是即磨的高級咖啡，怎料落一層來到The Lounge and Bar吃下午茶，發現原來只是自己一廂情願，非但咖啡級數不同，而且發現上下兩層除了景觀同服務一樣好，食物質素同舒適度都有頗大的分別。首先，來到102樓的大堂，已經有親切的侍應招待。他們來自不同國家，但都很有禮貌，特別是服務我們檯的日本侍應，她雖然英語不是很靈光，但辛勤的服務讓我們仿佛身處日本，驚喜desu ne~我們坐的是窗邊位。景觀是ICC頂端樓望出去的維港，可想而知有多廣闊。加上落地大玻璃，樓底又高，環境無得輸。不過不知道是不是我太大份（應該不是wwwww），坐一會就發現窗邊位其實很窄很頂脚。有些東西還是遠看比較美……下午茶是經典三層款加飲品。我很想念103樓咖啡的香，所以這次也點了咖啡，朋友就點了凍檸茶。凍檸茶是好喝的，不過咖啡卻是酸的，不像樓上那種只有芳香而沒有酸。我問侍應，這裏的咖啡是不是跟樓上的不同，她禮貌地回應說樓上的是即磨的，而這層的是咖啡

我們坐的是窗邊位。景觀是ICC頂端樓望出去的維港，可想而知有多廣闊。加上落地大玻璃，樓底又高，環境無得輸。不過不知道是不是我太大份（應該不是wwwww），坐一會就發現窗邊位其實很窄很頂脚。有些東西還是遠看比較美……
下午茶是經典三層款加飲品。我很想念103樓咖啡的香，所以這次也點了咖啡，朋友就點了凍檸茶。凍檸茶是好喝的，不過咖啡卻是酸的，不像樓上那種只有芳香而沒有酸。我問侍應，這裏的咖啡是不是跟樓上的不同，她禮貌地回應說樓上的是即磨的，而這層的是咖啡機出的，用的豆也不同。她說再冲一杯給我，我在想她會不會給我另外一種咖啡，結果其實是同款，新的一杯跟之前那杯一樣酸……最後我加了糖就掩蓋酸味就算了，不過覺得侍應的服務真的很日本，她會不停道歉，但始終不會改變供應的飲品，反雖然知道你不喜歡但堅持繼續提供到你滿意爲止（汗）。可能有人不介意那種酸味，不過這杯咖啡就不是我杯茶（是啦是啦咖啡本來就不是茶）。我只覺得奇怪，爲什麽同一間酒店上下兩層用的咖啡會有分別。
食物方面，好dry。他們是人到中年沒保養吧，都好乾。可能是我們那盆吹風吹得久而已吧，不過我見隔離檯有人吃剩東西就走人，或者他們遇到同樣情況。鬆餅就值得一提，雖然都是好乾的，不過牛油香做得好，經過風乾仍風韻猶存。其他就不想多講了。
結論是，享受景觀和服務，而不介意酒店下午茶價錢的，可以前來享受悠閑的下午。
I tried the coffee at Café 103 upstairs, which also belonged to Ritz Carlton. I was impressed and thought Ritz Carlton served the same great fresh ground coffee in all its restaurants. But when I came to The Lounge and Bar for afternoon tea, it turned out not to be the case. Not only did the levels of coffee differ, the qualities of food and levels of comfort were quite diverse, despite the same good view and service.
First of all, when we arrived at the lobby on the 102nd floor, there were already friendly waiters greeting us. They were from different countries but were all polite, especially the Japanese waitress who served us. Although her English was not very fluent, her keen service made us feel like in Japan, which was a pleasant surprise~
We got a window seat. Since the view was Victoria Harbour from the top of ICC, you can imagine the splendid broadness. Coupled with large floor-to-ceiling glass windows and spacious setting, the environment was unbeatable. Not sure if I was too big (which should not be the case ), as I found the seat was actually too small to fit in comfortably after sitting for a while. Some things are more beautiful from a distance...
Afternoon tea was in a classical three tier stand, plus drinks. I missed the fragrance of coffee on the 103rd floor, so I ordered coffee this time, and my friend ordered iced lemon tea. The iced lemon tea was nice, but the coffee was sour, unlike the one upstairs which was only aromatic but not sour. I asked the waitress if the coffee here was different from that upstairs. She politely responded that the one upstairs was fresh ground coffee, and that of this floor was made by the coffee machine with another kind of beans. She offered another cup for me. I actually wondered if she would give me another kind of coffee, but it turned out to be the same, so it was as sour as the previous one... Finally, I used sugar to cover up the sourness. The service of the waitress was really Japanese. She constantly apologized, and while she could not really change the drinks served, she would continue to serve the same thing until you were satisfied (well…). Some people may not mind the sour taste, but this cup of coffee was not my cup of tea (yea, yea, I know coffee is not tea). I just wondered why the same hotel offered different coffee on two adjacent floors.
In terms of food, they were dry. They were like the middle-aged who do not keep their bodies in shape. Maybe our dishes were exposed in the air for some time, but I saw another bunch of diners at a nearby table leaving without finishing their food, so probably they also encountered the same situation. Nevertheless, the scones were worth mentioning. Although they were also very dry, the fragrance of butter survived through the dryness. I don’t really want to talk about other food though…
My conclusion is, if you enjoy scenery and good service without caring the price of afternoon tea at a hotel, you can come and enjoy a leisurely afternoon.
