Atmosphere: rather empty which fine, music a bit loud, nice interior but it would gain to feel a bit cleaner / tidier. Chaotic piles of old magazines (of the free type) are not adding anything. Table is woblly.

Food Options: menu pages are falling apart and are a bit “grey”, printing a fresh one would be rather easy. The vegetarian burger is not available. Big finger prints on cutlery.
What we ordered:
- Signature Quinoa Salad: artichokes at the top are probably from a jar. The quinoa is fine, seasoning is just OK. 115HK$.
- Fresh Pesto Mushroom Tortellini: after a few minutes wait we are being told that the fresh pesto is not available and that if we wish not to wait too long we can choose the “normal” option. Fine. It tastes ok but the pesto is coming from a jar.
- Greca Pizza: the base is probably pre-made if not ready made. The tomato paste is tasteless and watery. The cheese has no taste. 136 HK$.
At that point we were not really expecting too much from the desserts - but we were told there were none available anyway as they would be “made fresh for tomorrow”.
Espresso to conclude. The fancy coffee machines on display at the bar were not used and a micro cup came from the kitchen instead. Taste was alright but it was more like a small americano. As we were waiting for the coffee (about 10 minutes) - the kitchen said that the “fresh" tiramisu was available and “made fresh for tomorrow”. We skip.
Total: 600HK$ for two including a glass of wine (quite nice). Not worth it.
