Pricey Food and View
2012-02-13 20 瀏覽
Food of course is impeccable and delicious. Ambiance and decor are also amazing. The service was generally great. It is also unbelievably pricey, but I presume it's all priced into the food, service, reputation and view. But it's REALLY pricey. Standard appetizer is about 300-400. Entrees are about 600-800. Wines were several hundred or more per glass. They had a 'pre-valentine's day' tasting menu that was about 1400, which is not terrible, but they required all guests at the table to order it

Wines were several hundred or more per glass. They had a 'pre-valentine's day' tasting menu that was about 1400, which is not terrible, but they required all guests at the table to order it if you wanted it, that was not great. In any event, if you go, you should enjoy every last bit. Which brings me to my most disappointing comment: I booked a few weeks in advance, and specifically asked for a window table - they said it was all reserved but assured me that every table in the restaurant had a great view of the harbor (i'd never been so trusted them). Day before - they called to confirm and I asked again about the window table - they gave me the same story. Night of - arrive, they take me to my table, in the corner, perhaps the ONE table with no view.
Was it not clear from my multiple requests it was important? They said the other tables were reserved, except during the course of the meal until I finished, I saw more than one table that remained completely empty, each of which had a better view than us. Also, when they brought out our food, they mixed up our plates. My advice, if you do plan to go, make completely sure you get what you want in every respect because you're really paying for it. Was sore about it the whole night and left a terrible taste in my mouth, regardless of the food.

As a supplementary note, in terms of "fine dining" in HK, even though Spoon has a great decor and (usually) great view (I saw when I was walking to and from my corner table), I think the whole experience was better at other places that perhaps don't have to rely on view or something else to boost their rep. Our meal was somewhat rushed, not a great selection of bread or petit fours, etc. For food, prefer Amber or Caprice. For service, Caprice or Petrus. If you're going to spend that much at least. Just my two cents.
