Started the evening with 4 pieces of Gillardeau oysters -they are very fresh and delicious. However, things went downhill pretty fast from here.We had burrata cheese with tomatoes, the burrata is not made in house. The quality is standard, pretty creamy but nothing to write home about. However, it does not justified the $180 price tag.After the starters, we were expecting the remaining 3 main courses to come. However, nothing came and we were not being attended to for well over an hour. The staf
We had burrata cheese with tomatoes, the burrata is not made in house. The quality is standard, pretty creamy but nothing to write home about. However, it does not justified the $180 price tag.
After the starters, we were expecting the remaining 3 main courses to come. However, nothing came and we were not being attended to for well over an hour. The staff were obviously not trained professionly, they forgot to inform the kitchen so our mains remained unprepared after an hour!!! After another 25 mins, our 2 pastas finally arrived - The Red Prawn Linguine was pretty nice, the red prawns were very small and pretty much had no meat inside the shells but the linguine were al dente, the sauces were made with some black ink which was superb. We also had the gnocchi with potatoes and porcini, this one was ok, the porcini gave a very nice forest smells and the gnocchi was cooked right. But again, but portion is far too tiny for its $180 price tag.
At this point, a waitress cleared our table and gave us a dessert menu...wait a minute, where is our last main course? ok, understaff and training problem again, and it costs us, the customer, another 20 min of waiting time before our Iberico pork rack arrived. The pork chop was cooked just right but it was covered with some sweet dark sauces which was far too strong and salty, it does not go with the pork at all. Also, the bone of the pork rack was wrapped with some aluminium foil ...ummm...thought I was eatng in some cheap Hong Kong local cafe, not impressive at all.
Finally it came to desert time which was disastrous - we shared 3 scoops of home made sorbet and gelato and it was the worse desert I've ever had! The gelatos were already half melted when it arrived, and it was all topped with some mini pink bubble chocolate balls - it looked gross and it tastes horrible, and they are braved enough to charge $110 for it!
題外話/補充資料：
The chef came out several times during the night, he seems to be a nice guy but dude, something is very wrong in this place and he has a lot of works to fix before he has time to come out and social with guest, especially with the kind of prices he is charging.
The whole meal costs HK$1400 for 2 with just 1 beer and 1 bottle of sparkling water - this might work in Beijing / Shanghai but in a competitive market like Hong Kong with so many choices and sophisticated foodie who know their food, I think this new place represents poor value for what it is. There's no wow factor with the place except the high price tag, the mistakes made by the staff and the exceptionally poor desert that we shared for the evening.
