Don't know where to start, will have to do the review in English this time, hope the owner will read it and do something about it! Right, booked the table via open rice for 6.30 and walked into an empty restaurant on arrival. I have read some bad reviews here and hope to prove them wrong to give it a try, however, really have to agree with the last review and say this is the worst tapas ever! We first served by a lady waitress and ordered some drinks, Estrella $58 and orange juice $42. Then star

We first served by a lady waitress and ordered some drinks, Estrella $58 and orange juice $42. Then started looking at the menu, few minutes later, a guy came and asked if we would like to have a drink. Hummm.. Ok, so they don't really have a system to serve customers, we answered nicely and said it has been ordered.
Ok move on, we ordered
Tabla mixtape $188 - platter of cold meat, very typical tapas dish, the price is reasonable, the presentation was good on the board but the meat quality is poor. You know it's not the high quality meat straight away when you had the first bit. Full of grease and salt in the mouth and no favour of meat at all. Shame on them.
Aceitunas rellenas $98, another typical tapas dish, I must say that this would be the best out of all the rubbish dishes. Olive warped with some fish meat then deep fry until crispy. It's crispy and the olive inside is cold, not too bad attempt.
Patatas Bravas $78 - a very simple tapas, it could be made by a 10 year old, but not sure how can it be so wrong. So greasy deep fried potato wedges served with some-so-called-tomato-sauce topped with hard rock garlic, why the hell they destroyed such a nice dish!? Wasted of ingredients
Piquillo y Bacalao $88 - supposed to be some roasted pepper stuffed with salted cod, but all I got is a slice of pepper with some tasteless fish on toast. Come on, adding a piece of salad leaf doesn't make it taste Spanish! Horrible!
Huevos Rotos $118 - worst yet to come, if you think Patatas Bravas is bad, I don't know what to call this! Supposed to be some potato fries to serve with Spanish sausage, however we have greasy baked soft fries top with an egg and few piece of sausages. Then whole thing is grease and tasteless, really have no taste. I don't know what they are thinking to serve something like this to their customers, they just don't want business and prefer to have a restaurant with no customer.
Every dish is a let down, very disappointing. It's not a tapas, it's not even a restaurant. The experience was awful, the service was weird. Throughout the dinner, three separate waitor and waitress come to our table and asked if the food was ok. I really wanted to sweat but I still wanted to enjoy my evening not letting you to ruin it!
They kept coming to our table and asked the same question, not once but twice, do you want a beer, do you want desert, are you done?
The food was bad, the service is poor, the whole place is wrong, I wish the owner can read this and do something about it. Get rid of your chef, change your staff, you actually make HK restaurant sounds bad with your food in our tourist area!!!!!
