We came to Stanley for our anniversary dinner and saw this on the 3rd place for Stanley restaurants on openrice so chose here. It rained all day so there were not a lot of customers (guess similar for other restaurants too as there were not many pppl on the street anyway). However, although the restaurant was less than half full, the staff arranged us to sit between two other occupied tables and basically all customers were sitting very close to each other on one side, while the other side of the restaurant was empty. I do understand restaurants would want to allow flexibility for themselves but when we came at 6-ish, even if there would be thousands of people queuing up, we would have finished our food by then.

Anyway, we wouldn't stay long so we were fine with the seating. Looking at the Menu, it seems there are not a lot of choices. None of the starters/appetitizers is appealing to us so we directly jumped to main.

We ordered baked salmon in white wine sauce and steak with butter sauce.

We confessed that we didn't understand the word that follows salmon on the menu so it might have told us the way the salmon is cooked. But those red/yellow peppers that went with the salmon were not very appealing and MB doesnt take peppers so he didn't like the salmon. The portion was relatively small too but this might not be as bad as a con this time as we didn't really enjoy this dish...

For the steak, we had it medium well done. And perhaps so, it was a bit tough for some parts while other parts were fine. The butter sauce was very nice. Portion was ok. But the side dishes were not ok. The peas were overcooked and became very softened while the fries were very hard (looked like to have been made for long). 

Initially I thought to have dessert there too but given such quality of food, we'd better skip this time...
