The Papaya Chicken Salad is a dish that is worthing mentioning in this meal, quite fresh Papaya pieces and it goes very well with the salad dressing.
The cucumber pieces were a little bit too much, and the grilled chicken was too hard to chew.
A very fresh taste which suit this season of wet and humid atmosphere.

Yet, the Rib Eye (medium) with chips is really disappointing.
The flesh is not juicy nor fleshy, and it tasted like pork chop instead of beef.
The side dish chips are okay, but not crispy though.

Generally this meal is a bit over priced, and not worth the quality.
I think Dan Ryans is a good place for celebrating birthdays, still, cos if you reserve a table and tell them you've a bday today, you got a free piece of cake!

在香港很多人說要撐「小店」的時候, 謝謝朋友介紹了這一家私房的海鮮西餐廳給我啊!
遠離SOHO的Elgin Street 一列的餐廳街，走遠一點，當你走多一條街便會發現這專賣海鮮而價錢又合理的小店。之前朋友來過介紹我來，因他讚口不絕，而今次朋友生日便預先訂位，一來到便waitress便讓我們坐在近窗的位置。
既然為了海鮮而來, 想也沒想, 頭盤點了一個Seafood Platter!食物來之前侍應放了四款汁在我們檯上, 有酸有辣的。Seafood Platter來了, 我們忍不住嘩了一聲我在香港是未試過這樣足料的Seafood Platter , 不得不提生蠔的新鮮, 大廚說是由澳州塔斯漫尼亞 (Tasmania)空運來的, 多汁, 而加了檸檬汁後帶出了生蠔的鮮海水味! 喜歡吃生蠔的我找到了對的地方!還有蟹是原隻上, 起初以為西方食法的蟹膏應該不多, 誰不知蟹膏原封不動新鮮地留在蟹蓋等我們動手了!當我們吃海鮮時, waitress很細心地不時走過來跟我們換碟, 大概因為這店的面積不大 (大概20個位左右), 服務很周到。
當日的special- 我們有口福了, 原來當天的新鮮象拔蚌刺身, 由加拿大當日空運到港。其實除了日本的刺身, 在香港其他西餐廳實在很少有刺身的special! 這碟象拔蚌刺身, 吃出的不只是新鮮, 還有是爽脆的口感。象拔蚌刺身下面是用乾冰上碟, 絕不馬虎。

我們吃海鮮吃得高興, 當然點了一支白酒伴餐! 這裡的House White, 配海鮮一流, 而且價錢合理($298, bottle)。Linguini with baby Geoduck Clams - 見到MENU上這個意粉有是推介食物, 故此點來嘗試一下。吃的時候十分驚喜, 橄欖油的味道和海鮮的味道一樣突出。意粉很有homemade的味道, 不是粗製濫造的那種大堆頭製作, 口感鮮明。至於份量方面, 兩個人吃完上面的seafood platter 加刺身, 份量剛剛好了, 而且一點都不膩, 很滿足。可能因為是晚太高興, 美酒加佳餚, 我們愈食愈開心(加上飲了點酒), 最後我們點了一個主菜, 是這裡其中的招牌菜Grilled Australian Kobe Beef M9 Rib Eye Steak (250g)肉質十分適中, 入口化後咬左一兩下, 有溶在口中的口感, 好正!
除左日本食過咁這樣高品質, 又煮得好的和牛, 真的一流!
由食海鮮到主菜, 怎可以不嘗試一下這類的甜品? 雖然大家都好飽, 但我們都點了心太軟和我的至愛creme brulee!
我選了我至愛的creme brulee, 我向來都覺得paul lafayet的creme brulee是全香港最好的 (哈哈, 只屬個人意見)
這兒都可以算是第二了! 上面的那層焦糖十分脆, 而且是能溶在口中, 而不是溶在匙中的!
可是, vanilla seed比paul lafayet的那個少, 味道比paul lafayet那個稍為甜。
這兒的creme brulee上面有士多啤梨襯托, 賣相比paul lafayet 好~第二個我選了心太軟, 點了之後等了十五至二十分鐘左右才上菜。
心太軟勝在新鮮焗製, 流出來的朱古力成半固體但不是太浠, 味道十分濃郁, 好像把整塊濃度55-60%的朱古力溶在口中一樣..
是比我在坊間一些甜品店吃過的更好, 朱古力味香濃。是晚真的是不醉無歸, 當香港的西餐廳被很多大集團"group" 式經營時,
像Serenade的fine dining西餐廳仍然光芒四射，令食客食得出大廚是有心機煮出來的西餐,
還有是上乘的食材, 真是難得。
我會再回來的!!

Adverts always advocate that collagen can help to regenerate the skin cells in (women's) skin so that we all could look younger and keep ourselves at the age of 25. Even if you doubt the truth of this statement, you might want to try the Collagen hotpots that this shop provides.

For a table of 4 girls, the waiter was a bit surprised that we ordered 2 hotpots and one side dish only.
We were realy full at the end so you can tell how rich the meal is!南蠻fried chicken
The chicken was a bit oily and fatty indeed, and the tartar sauce added in it makes it even greasy! ><Here comes the hotpots! This is 相僕手火鍋 is really huge in size, seafood including shrimp, fish, clams but i like the soup base more than the food indeed. Next to it you might think that is 魚滑 or sth..but it is actually something like 豬軟骨 which is mashed into small pieces and you can put them into the hotpot bits by bits..when they are all mixed, you can see the soup base is well blended into the seafood!

Collagen hotpot--
Maybe the service of this shop is too good.. they dont allow me to take picture for the "collagen" pieces and they mix the collagen solid thingy into the hotpot already:You can choose beef/pork on the hotpot and the sauce is not something like soup, it is very condense and you could see all the noodles absorbing the "collagen".
Taste: Frankly we couldnt feel it is collagen but psychologically we feel like having better skin lol.
The taste is like jelly mixed into the meat and noodles, and it is quite special indeed!

Well priced, and would recommend you all to come to this soup for this special 九州 taste of japanese hotpots!

Claiming to be a kitchen with homemade food, I came for a try on my birthday lunch!
It isn't really that great, and the service wasn't hospitable at all, we ordered food and waited for almost 30 minutes but we still have to sit and wait for food to come.

So Lunch sets are a bit expensive, and for 2 course meals it is $298, and plus 10% service charge.
We chose salads as the appetizer and we chose either beetroot salad or the american cheese one, the quality was just so-so.The chicken linguini was great, a bit creamy but the chicken wasn't really very fresh nor homemade as the waiter claimed.

Further, actually we booked table for 6 but they still kept us waiting at the doorside when we arrived, I think the service quality still has room for improvement.

It was a great weekday, with fine weather. It wasn't very cold in this mid January, and while my friend and I are waiting for my birthday midnight 00:00 to come, we stay here for drinks.

The scenery wasn't as good as before, because of the reclamation of Victoria Harbour and some big machineries were placed in the middle of the fabulous seaview..

Anyway, drinks are surprisingly great, cooktails are innovative indeed.Tiramisu ($108)
Bailey's Cream, Myer's Rum, Cacao Brown, Kahlua, Milk, Vanilla Syrup
-- Basically we were expecting something very sweet with not very rich alcoholic taste, but then it turns out great, it's like a Tiramisu dessert with very strong rum taste. Alexa ($108)
Muddled Raspberry, Honey, Cranberry Juice, Lime Juice, Absolut Kurrant, Raspberry Liqueur
-- It turns out that this is much sweeter than Tiramsu! It is a refreshing drink though with some fresh Raspberries on top!Great drinks, but then the seaview is less attractive now! There is no minimum charge here so you can order whatever you want!
