Went on a Sunday for a late lunch, arrived at 2pm and was greeted cheerfully by two of the ladies supervising the operations. good start! then we ordered our meal, had the first one served after 20mins of waiting (still OK) but it went downhill from there. our second dish took an hour and a half to be served.. for a while we thought they forgot it. the second glass of beer my husband ordered, took 5-6 times follow up ( half an hour ), the dessert, which was just a banoffee pie, took 45mins, and when we asked for the bill, it took them half an hour to settle it.the interesting thing about it is they have enough staff, and at 4:30pm, the place was only half full, so we don't understand what the delay was all about and what's confusing the servers about the orders.additionally, it was not only us who were complaining about the lousy service; the table beside us had kids crying because they were waiting for their food for a quite a long time too.the food itself was not exceptional, the view and location was perfect, but the lousy service definitely nailed it for us. not coming back here.So to provide more details on the food, we ordered a platter of calamari, shrimp, soft shell crab and the food was not exceptional. The serving size was good enough for the price, but its surprising that their pricing is similar to Central restaurants.We also ordered spicy chicken with lemon and this one was disappointing because it was too dry, hence was difficult to eat. And it didn't come with anything other than some sauce.Considering these, and the long waiting time for food service and the Central- level price of food, my husband and I feel that its not worth coming back.

I went to The Beach House for my birthday and reserved a table for 5pm. We were hikin the South Lantau Country Trail that day and arrived late - at 5.45pm. The waiter made a sidecomment about us being 45 minutes late when we arrived and that our table wasn't ready although the restaurant was 15% full. I don't know if this makes sense to you, but this already irked us.SettingThis is the best thing about the restaurant.The location and ambience of this restaurant is its greatest (and only) asset. You can hardly go wrong when you seize the beachfront property. In its place used to be The Stoep - a South African place, which served great food. The Beach House totally renovated its formerly shabby interiors and now everything is new and much nicer. Especially the bathrooms. In terms of cleanliness, however, The Beach House falters in day-to-day mainenance. I know it's a beach restaurant and there will inevitably be sand everywhere, but they could at least pick up the food and crumbs from the diners. There are stains all over their couches, which is also fine, but food scraps are unacceptable. Especially when we've made a reservation and everything should have been cleaned and prepared beforehand.ServiceThe staff were overly casual to the point of irreverence and complacency. They were just so lazy; it took forever to order. They were the opposite of attentive. We had to keep calling their attention. They took forever to bring some dishes. Obviously more training needs to be done here.FoodMediocre at best. The menu was recently updated but still the same old regular western food.The burger and steak were standard, servings were pretty large, price was high (comparable to Central) but at least you get a lot more for it. The "Moroccan Chicken" was described as 'spicy' - it was not. Tajine isn't even spicy anyway. Flavour and texture were okay for roast chicken but if you're looking for Moroccan chicken then it falls flat.The Lantau Salad was alright, needed more figs.The steak was pretty hefty. We appreciated the serving size.Chips / fries were huge. Wish they had a sweet potato (healthier) option but that's really asking for too much already here.....Mille Feuille – A thousand leaves layered with custard cream, strawberry coulis, caramelized almondsThis was absolutely horrific. It was so oily and old tasting, the opposite of crisp and light, all I could taste was oil and heavy pastry and cream cream cream drowning everything. It was every patisserie's nightmare come to life.Would I return?Not for the food or service. It was really so traumatic - especially on my birthday - that I would probably try all the other restaurants on Lower Cheung Sha before returning to this one.

去下長沙泳灘曬太陽，曬到五點幾六點，有啲餓就食埋嘢先出番東涌！呢間新開的未試過，一於試下！一睇餐牌，有啲驚嚇！咁貴嘅價錢同市區一樣喎！心諗佢嘅定價都非常之進取下！不過算啦，個環境又好舒服，今日天氣好好有海風一啲都唔熱，加埋個黃昏景，豪比你我哋叫咗兩杯嘢飲，一個沙律同一個炸魷魚！諗住食完再叫其他！我叫嘅係Apple cider from New Zealand，男朋友唔記得咗佢叫乜😅我杯Apple cider好重發酵味，唔似S品牌咁甜，如果嗜甜嘅會有啲失望！男朋友杯係啤酒嚟，但好濁一啲都唔清，好得意！飲落仲好有果味，比我嘅Apple cider 更果！但我唔記得咗佢個名😂炸魷魚同藜麥沙律一齊上！兩樣個size係有驚喜嘅！雖然價錢同市區一樣，但份量就比到十足！呢啲先係我哋需要嘅炸魷魚，好大碗份量十足！好彩我哋叫細嘅，大嘅不敢想像味道唔錯，炸漿唔會太厚，炸出嚟都唔會太油或者有萬年油味加咗少少蔥炸蒜辣椒喺面，再另配一碟酸辣醬汁，好味藜麥沙律，真心冇諗過堅係成碗藜麥！市區嘅一定係好幾塊沙律菜加呢度1/4份量嘅藜麥就算！呢度，足一碗！堅飽！亦因為咁足份量，所以叫唔到我哋想叫嘅fish & chips唯有下次⋯⋯講番個沙律，勁健康，冇乜油醋醬汁，淨係用少許橄欖油加啲紅蔥青蔥紅蘿蔔絲青瓜絲撈埋！伴碟有啲沙律菜好新鮮大塊，太大塊食到成面都係😂！坐喺度睇住日落嘆番杯真係一流如果冇咁多蟻同地下冇咁濕（可能係上手搞到成地水）就完美

長沙海灘是中學階段宿營的熱點。仿如昨日的青蒽歲月，炎夏之中的海水味道與帶著沙粒的微風來一又次迎面吹來。多少年？已記不清多少年沒再沒有踏足長沙海灘，每逢夏天東涌港鐵站外的大嶼山的士站，帶著水泡、浮板的人兒，在烈日爆曬下形成的長隊，看得我幾乎昏過去，大抵那些年的衝勁被日子活埋了！一個和暖但天陰的冬日，老公帶我到下長沙泳灘去，這刻的沙灘不太一樣，變得平靜、閒適，別有一番味道。沙灘前排有一家租售滑浪用品及可供燒烤的店子，還有幾家富有個性的餐廳，我們閒走了一會，選擇了近路口的「The Beach House」。一盆吉子帶來西方下的新春意境！設計簡單，但富心思，整體以整潔舒適著眼，令人喜歡的格調！冬天加上閒日的關係遊人不多，我們便在面對海灘的首排座位坐下！餐牌非常簡單，但統統也是精選，大部份也能對上我們的口味！面對著廣闊的沙灘，在驟晴驟暗的天色，看著不減興致的遊人玩樂，來一口啤酒也是特別的暢快！「Gweilo」這品牌確是不錯，連少喝啤的我也被吸引了！入口滿滿怡人的蜜香，爽朗清脆，而飽滿的質感，不澀帶微甜的味道，令人意想不到由香港釀製的啤酒，也會如此出色！老公在別處喝的都是瓶裝的「Gweilo」，而生啤則首次在下長沙海灘找到，看來「The Beach House」的老闆對啤酒也有一定的堅持！雖然回暖，但我也欲來一碗熱湯。在近門口的黑板寫上了當天的推介，其中一款是 Lightly Creamed Mushroom Soup。Lightly Creamed Mushroom Soup 的湯面盛了幾片磨菇，還有香草和一道橄欖油！對於磨菇湯而言，將本身柔軟的磨菇打得細滑融渣，不一定是最佳的做法。這道 Lightly Creamed Mushroom Soup 充滿磨菇粒粒、但沒有過稠的質感，反而切合我的口味，單是豐盈的口感層次已能突圍而出。加上香草與上湯的濃厚的味道，磨菇的香氣雖然因此被削弱了，變成一個小弱點，不過沾上脆香的麵包，又是另一種美味的體會。整體而言，也甚為理想。每次到戶外的餐廳，我們總要吃過炸魷魚，彷彿炸魷魚就跟歡欣連成一線。可是老公點菜時竟忽略了他至愛的炸魷魚，幸好我這大近視突如其來的眼力，不讓這個沙灘遺失魷魚的樂趣！魷魚切成了小塊，炸得乾爽。表層的炸漿似有還無，但可見圓狀的黑胡椒和紅色的辣椒粉黏附著。魷魚的香氣由幽香的胡椒、小鹹和溫和的辣度引出，是一道令人多嚐也不膩的炸魷魚！不過，隨炸魷魚而來的泰式酸辣汁，大致由青檸、魚露、辣椒、蒜和甜混合，又可帶出開胃與醒神的風格！Bucket of Whole Australian Prawns 香氣誘人！吃前先為它添上點點的檸檬汁。蝦殼帶有惹味的椒鹽，絕對不要顧及儀態，將蝦殼的美味盡收，不然會浪費廚師的心血。來自澳洲的蝦隻，蝦肉爽嫩但顯得無味，因此是 Garlic Aioli 發揮魅力的時候了。蘸上質感幼滑、具蒜香和清酸，一派怡人氣息的 Garlic Aioli，令淡淡的蝦肉活潑起來，吃得我們津津有味。相信此醬汁配合海洋裡其他跳脫的海鮮，實也不錯！其實已經蠻飽了，不過還是不捨 「The Beach House」的美食與環境！遂要來了 Hearty Tuscan Vegetable Stew。Hearty Tuscan Vegetable Stew 以雜豆為主力，再混上菠菜和香草，醬汁由清鮮自然的蕃茄汁構成。如果您喜歡豆類，光吃著也不覺是悶，因為豆子燜煮得軟腍，更溢出芳香的香草味兒。假如配上「The Beach House」香脆富筋性的麵包上，也是不錯的考慮！下長沙泳灘的環境與「The Beach House」的美食，令我重燃起青蒽歲月那一團火，這個夏天，我與沙灘有個約會！
