First of all, I have not been back for maybe 2 years so things may have changed. I know they got one more star from Michelin HK which they should have gotten 2 years back. The sofas and tables have changed to accommodate more people which is fine from commercial angle. They are still comfortable and of course, the views are good if you got window seatings. The starters (bread and assorted appetizers) were good but no longer outstanding. It seems downsizing has taken its toll all the way for Pier

The starters (bread and assorted appetizers) were good but no longer outstanding. It seems downsizing has taken its toll all the way for Pierre (at least for set lunch).
My companion had the foie gras soup which was declared as excellent. We then headed for the mains which were lamb cutlets and a kind of cod fish (they called skrey fish) with mussels pieces. The fish was superb, blended well with the sause and cooked to perfection. The lamb was a let down for its small serving size (2 pieces), slightly overcooked and accompanied by salty chickpea pancake.
Dessert was ginger tart which has no ginger taste but was not overly sweet. It was rather refreshing.
There was no longer petite four served (which was a highlight from my first dining there) although the captain was kind enough to offer us 2 parfait compliment of the house.
Overall, Pierre is still a nice place to unwind and to enjoy food & conversations but I would say not to sacrafice the details and portion size in order to maintain price competitiveness. Otherwise, Caprice will finally take the #1 spot even though in my mind, Pierre is more willing to experiment and more daring in presentations.
