We had the new year's eve set menu and it was a misearable dinner! the wait staff had trouble taking our order and then totally mixed up the starters with each dinner getting the wrong one. The veal starter was mediocre and bland although the presentation was nice. the seafood salad was acceptable according to our guests and my vegetarian salad was over dressed and soggy. Next came the soups. ai yah! a small cup of tasty gazpacho, barely acceptable seafood bisque and cold dishwater was the
now for the mains: 2 orders of ice cold lobster with congealed butter - sent back to be heated and returned over cooked and tough. one order of lamb shanks served long after the other guests had theirs - the report was that it was tender but flavorless. One order of tenderloin - also arrived ice cold but still nicely pink, returned warm and well-done after being reheated. One order of vegetarian eggplant. arrived ice cold - and after reheating it tasted like reheated leftovers - three thin slices of eggplant rolled around overcooked veggies drowning in tomato sauce all topped with frisee. not exciting, not flavorful.
No one took more than one bite of the dessert, a layer of jellies. I could not even take that one bite because although it was listed as vegetarian, i believe the gelatin used in Hong Kong to set jellies is not vegetarian. In any case, the wait staff was pretty inattentive and certainly was unable to answer any questions about the food so there was no point in asking.
We were seated by the open door and it was quite cold. The two gents seated at the end of our table got lots of exercise getting up and down through the meal closing it. The manager did offer to move us to another table but that was 1/2 way through the meal and it seemed like too much trouble at that point.
