First - if you're coming here, know that the staff at the LKF Hotel will NOT direct you to the restaurant - do not use their listed address. Instead, tell your taxi driver to drop you off at D'Aguilar Street and Lan Kwai Fong Lane or at the Hard Rock Cafe. Gold is an elevator ride from there. My friend took a cab to 33 Wyndham St and no one in the lobby would tell her how to get to Gold. They only made it very clear that there was no access - which is not true. We finally had to meet her on Wynd
The daily menu looks a LOT better than the food. The best part for me was the salad buffet appetizer. They do give you the courtesy (time) of getting a second plate before they cleared the salad cutlery and served the entrees. The four of us got two slow-cooked wild salmon with corn tabouleh, stone-cooked sausage pizza and mediterranean chciken breast with orzo.
I was very surprised to see a tomato sauce that resembles Campbell tomato soup - no hint of any fresh tomatoes despite the menu description for the chicken. But the chicken breast was tasty and tender. A high point! Orzo side dish was rich and creamy, also very good.
The salmon should be called hardly cooked instead of slow cooked. The little bit of heat they applied made it look and taste like old salmon. We were very happy we all had our fill of smoked salmon from the salad buffet.
Tip: load up on your favourite seafood (and there were many choices) first because they run out fast - especially the shrimps and smoked salmon - both top notch. There were also oysters, big snails, pickled herring and a variety of tasty sauces. On the circular bar there were several salad greens, beet julienne, a generous cheese and fruit platter, sundry nuts, etc - as I mentioned the buffet was the best part.
For dessert, 2 of us got the orange pound cake, someone else got the frozen yogurt with apricot topping and the 4th person got coconut ice cream. My favourite was the ice cream, oh excuse me, coconut gelato!!
