We visited Nino's at its new address last Friday and were surprised how much its food quality has dropped compared to before when it was at 灣仔船街. While it is now a lot bigger, it is not more spacious because they have packed tables too close to one another. While the old place was small, it was cozy and has style. It now looks and feels like an ordinary, inexpensive cafe and has no character. We did not enjoy the decor.Back to the food, we were disappointed by the main dish we ordered - Pep

Back to the food, we were disappointed by the main dish we ordered - Pepper Shrimps Pot. It is now made of v large shrimps and costs a lot more (nearly $400). Previously at the old restaurant it used smaller shrimps, but the flavour soaked into the smaller shrimps a lot better.
The Mussels in White Wine Sauce was nothing special either. Nobiduca at Harbour City does the same a lot better.
Ox tail soap was only average. It is thick but feels starchy.
The worst experience yet is with the Ham we ordered as appetizer. They charged $252 for a small appetizer-portion plate and it was not very tasty (27 mths aging). The Spanish restaurant Ole offers a lot better (36 mths aging) yet charges a lot less (~$100).
Overall, the problem we see is that now with the new location and new restaurant, their mission has become too commercial and set out to make as much money as possible, by making dishes as expensive as possible, while letting the food quality drops.
