I booked Christmas eve dinner at 8:45pm which was the only time available via online booking. The day before, they called to confirm the booking and asked if I preferred an earlier time, and I said yes, and changed the booking to 8:00pm. The person then asked if we had any allergies, a nice touch that made us feel they cared.This is my second visit to Beets.

This is my second visit to Beets. I had a very good dinner the first time, opting for the vegetarian tasting menu whilst my friend chose the normal tasting menu. This time, I opted for the normal tasting menu whilst my friend chose the vegetarian tasting menu. There were several rounds of snacks, several rounds of starters, a couple of rounds of main courses, and three courses of desserts. Which is to stay that there was plenty of food and a good variety of flavors and ingredients. The waygu beef ($230 additional) has a melt-in-your-mouth consistency and came with mulberries, an interesting pairing that worked. The surprise was the house-made bread - sliced sourdough bread and spiced fennel/caraway seed buns, both of which were quite exceptional.
I would say I liked the vegetarian tasting and the normal tasting menu equally, and would have been happy with either. It looked like they changed the ingredients and flavor combinations for many of the courses since my first visit 2-3 months ago, which is a good incentive for patrons to come back every now and then.
With the waygu beef supplement, the bill came out to be HK$2,000 for two without drinks, which is good value for money for the quality and amount of food served, compared to many other restaurants with tasting menus.
Aside from the food, the ambience is very cosy and comfortable (ceiling was quite high), with service that feels like you're in a neighborhood restaurant. All the servers were all very nice and friendly, and knowledgeable about the food they served. One of young chefs even came out and opened the door for us and bid us Merry Christmas.
Well done Beets! Definitely worth a visit! I'll be back soon.
