I've eaten here twice now, and had similar experiences and reactions to the food.1) Be prepared for arctic air-con. The waiter told us he would turn down the gale blowing on us, but nothing changed.2) The pisco drinks are great. On the first visit, we had (white) wine with the food, and this time we drank the pisco sours.....I actually thought the sour was a better accompaniment for the food than was the wine.3) The ceviche (marinated raw fish) is delicious and interesting. Get the trio
1) Be prepared for arctic air-con. The waiter told us he would turn down the gale blowing on us, but nothing changed.
2) The pisco drinks are great. On the first visit, we had (white) wine with the food, and this time we drank the pisco sours.....I actually thought the sour was a better accompaniment for the food than was the wine.
3) The ceviche (marinated raw fish) is delicious and interesting. Get the trio and have three different flavors
4) The first courses we had were mostly excellent -- grilled octopus on a bed of mashed potato sauce, with little bits of crispy pork, was flavorful and the octopus was -- unlike the vast majority of places in HK -- tender and soft. The "Pan con chicharron" pork sandwich is also a real hit. I found the corn cakes to be less than exciting, though.
5) Mains were much less interesting. Sauces were kind of heavy and not enchanting. Meats were just okay. We had grilled salmon, chicken breast and "lomo saltado" beef. All were just so-so -- nothing really wrong, but nothing to justify their price, either. (The lomo saltado comes with nice crispy french fries, but the dish is immediately mixed with a rather bland gravy, with the result that the fries (and the rice underneath) just turns wet and gloppy.
6) Service was acceptable; beware the long-haired waiter who (on both of our visits), tried to embarrass us into ordering more food than we wanted or needed.
7) Prices are fairly high. Dinner ran $550 per person, including one drink each.
