    Friends came here again for Birthday of two of my friends

    We have a crowd of 12+, ordered loads of food, including:
     
    salmon ceasar salad: it was great, dressing was just right, not being over/under dressed tongue
    nachos: hot and yummy with cheese on top, it was great! smile
    chips with dips: crispy chips was my fav, loved it!!! smile

    peanuts were served when we arrive, we ordered drinks as well, it was alright. Only thing is that the peanut shell were everywhere on the floor, sad I know it being one of their / or other food stores' so called "tradition",the entire floor of the restaurant was covered with peanut shells, I did't like it at all... sad

    The other food we ordered were nicely cooked, amongst those shown below, we also ordered carbonara pasta (three times!) and it tasted really good, which i must mention it here! lol
     
     
     
     
     
    Food was generally very well, I'm a bit surprised, as I came here not too long ago and I didn't expect much this time, however, I was happy with the food I must say! smile

    Not so nice was the environment, we were given a long table with stools, not really good for a birthday, but theres nothing we could do, and I doubt they have other tables available..

    Well but we were very lucky to have the stools, otherwise our feet might be soaking wet, because for no reason at all the floor became wet (maybe dripping or bucket of water spilled, I dont know) and it went uncontrollably wet, we were not given any explanation at all to the wetness of the floor, it went so bad that the area we sat literally flooded.. no joke, I can show you my pictures..

    Proven. I really hoped my second visit could be better than last time, well the food certainly was better, no fish scale at all (we didn't order fish anyway), but look at it.. I don't understand how can this escalate into a flood and almost a pond. I was quite surprised we weren't drowned half-way the dinner. We didn't complain as it seems a bit out of control and we carried on with our dinner. My mates couldn't stand it at some point and started complaining when they saw waitresses throwing napkins all over the floor and trying to dry the floor... outrageous. madmadmadmadmadmadmadmadmadmadmad

    I rmbed I said its "definitely a nono" last time, I would say this time, its a NONONONONONONONONONO huffy

    Came here for lunch the first time with a bunch of friends, around 10 of us smile

    Have been working in Central for a year or so but still searching for new places for lunch, I frequently walk pass this hk brewhouse cos the lunch menu isnt particularly attractive, but since some of my friends recommended it so we thought we'll just give it a go tongue

    we ordered set lunch, they serve steak, fish, pork chop, sausages, the normal stuff you'd expect on a lunch menu in the LKF area. Price is alright, in the range of 100-180 per head, 2 course.

    Appetizers were either Pasta Salad or Soup of the day, but they said they ran out of pasta salad, fine, Bread was served before the arrival of the pumpkin soup, it was served warm, brilliant. lol Each of us had one, then my mate couldnt finished hers and chucked on my plate for photo with my soup, i was crossed, but fine....! mad

    Service was okay, they took our orders cheerfully, soup was very creamy and tasty, but it was served only slightly warm, it would be better if they were served hot. chopstick

    Entrees came a bit late (took them around 25mins after the soup arrived), but its fine i mean we mates can do some chit chat, but its Central lunch time... everyones in a hurry! sad

    After some time, entrees finally arrived, I ordered a baked Sea bass with chips. Chips was crispy and hot, loved it. smile I tried my seabass, it was thin and soggy, a bit salty and soaked with oil sad i wished it could redeem itself with some crispy skin, and it failed -quite badly- the skin was crunchy, cos of the fish scale... i couldn't believe it. huffy

    I didnt try the steak myself but my mates said it was too oily as well.. It was even a bit more disappointing when i realise this restaurant belongs to a well-known catering group. I visited other restaurants of the chain a couple of times and had lunch over there with no problem at all, they serve great food.

    We went back to the office late and unanimously said: "definitely a nono" sad

    The food tells you that you are not at a bar!

    This Bar/Restaurant is one of my favourite hot spot for dinner/pre-night out. More importantly, it shows sport channels, such as football, tennis and rugby! It is also the only bar in Hong Kong to serve a draft pint of London Pride and Organic Honey Dew on tap.

    It has two levels, enjoy the brews, burgers, steak while watches a game of football round the year, perfect place for a small gathering! The peanuts are all you can eat too!

    Cuisine: Western
    Food rating: 3/10*
    Service: 2/10
    Ambiance: 3/10
    Price: HK$100pax

    * Food Rating: 6/10 is equivalent to 1 Michelin star, 8/10 to two Michelin stars, and 9/10 or 10/10 to three Michelin stars

    Classic Burger (5/10)
    The portion is extraordinary massive. The burger was greatly seasoned, preferable if fresh herbs were used. It was grilled perfectly to medium. The chips were, speechlessly sensational, it is a must order every time I visited Brew House.

    As you can imagine, it’s a bar, so don’t expect great service. But the food is not exactly something you would expect at a bar at this price (cheap). Even the pasta and pizza are great. More importantly, personally I think the steaks are brilliant! Not sure if I have been to any place with quality steak at cheap price at such.

    Give me a thumbs up if you like it!
