Just had dinner there one night to celebrate my birthday with 8 friends. Brought a cake and a few bottles of wine. The restaurant said they have to charge us corkage, $100 per bottle. Fair enough, most restaurants in HK do. The restuarant then said they will also need to charge us a cake cutting charge of $10 per person, which we thought was ridiculous. If the restuarant had cake as one of their dessert selection in their menu, then fine. But they didn't have cake on their menu. It's not

Just had dinner there one night to celebrate my birthday with 8 friends. Brought a cake and a few bottles of wine. The restaurant said they have to charge us corkage, $100 per bottle. Fair enough, most restaurants in HK do. The restuarant then said they will also need to charge us a cake cutting charge of $10 per person, which we thought was ridiculous. If the restuarant had cake as one of their dessert selection in their menu, then fine. But they didn't have cake on their menu. It's not like we chose not to order their desserts and brought out own, but they simply didn't have what we wanted. The manager (male) was not very pleasant and didn't agree to waive the cake cutting charge even when we told him we were celebrating someone's birthday. It didn't seem to matter to him that we were one of the big tables (if not the only big table) that night. We didn't like the charge and didn't feel it was reasonable (to be honest, we didn't really like the manager's attitude). We didn't open our wines nor had the cake at the restaurant in the end.

The food was so-so. The portions were small. Given the bad experience (and rigid way of they are doing business), I don't think I'll ever go back to this restaurant again.
