The Optimist係唔少人慶生、慶紀念日嘅首選！的確，服務唔錯，裝修、氣氛係唔錯，但比較應聲。主打北西班牙菜，各種海鮮、牛扒，仲有人人必叫嘅juicy lobster rice，整體食完就感覺似fusion菜式多啲。Entradas: Octopus Croquettes美其名八爪魚可樂餅，實際上係炸日式章魚燒。脆脆外殼+軟腍粉漿，幾特別但0西班牙😂Entradas: King Prawn al Ajillo蒜油煎大蝦，蒜蓉香味十足，微辣又惹味，大蝦唔腥、冇雪味，蝦殼又易剝。Entradas: Heritage Tomatoes各種生番茄配生洋蔥完全唔腥，有種蔬菜甜味，加埋吞拿魚，Entradas: “Huevos Rotos” Broken Egg侍應會offer幫手撈蛋。最底係炸薯角，配伊比利亞火腿、西班牙辣肉腸，中間夾半熟煎蛋。每一啖都帶鹹香油香，所以好膩，有種食all-day breakfast嘅感覺。Platos principales:Juicy Lobster Rice (+$98 pp)兩人分一個都會飽到上心口。每人半邊波士頓龍蝦，蝦肉+蟹鉗實淨彈牙、啖啖肉。飯粒中心微微硬，吸滿龍蝦汁。質感creamy似泡飯，啖啖都係精華，仲有洋蔥、魷魚粒。Dessert: Crema Catalana西班牙版嘅法式焦糖燉蛋，用牛奶代替淡忌廉，冇咁膩，但唔夠順滑，焦糖過厚。Dessert: Burnt Basque Cheesecake忌廉芝士味頗重，焦香味一般，比較似紐約式芝士蛋糕。

Tokyolima x the optimistfull menu is no longer available, but some of these items will be put on their a la carte for another wk!Ceviche a la Gallega🌟🌟Our fav dish🤩seafood was fresh. The sauce was kinda like a tongyumgong flavor, very appetisingTortilla KatakanaOne dish that can hardly go wrong🙈it feels lighter than the conventional ones with lots of shrimps insideBut i would prefer it served hot😟Gambas, ajos y masPrawn - ok but not remarkablePincucho🌟Love how it was grilled just right - smoky enough but still juicy and tender😋Patatas Bien BravasJust similar to the typical Huevos rotos? Except there is no egg, and the sauce on top (brava de aji panca which gave a spicy bbq hue?)Columbus Paella🌚🌚Disappointing😟😟😟very bland😟didnt expect at allBeef on top was tender and good, but still😟Iberico Secreto🌟🌟Pork was super juicy😋can tell the high fat content (almost pork jowl like) but not oily at allSkin was crispy as well🤩And the jam complemented it so well😋😋😋(try dipping it with bread - 🎆❤️🔥)Basque Burnt Cheesecake🌟Cheesecake per se was smoothThe yuzu tinge gave a nice twist tho😋Was originally intimated by the ‘wasabi candy’, but essentially its just a thin slice of ornament, so its existence ~0I wish the portion was more generous tho🥲Overall i think remixing is a interesting conceptsBut there arent many surprising elements🙈

平日路過見到餐廳幾清靜,周年紀念又諗住找間清靜的餐廳食個lunch,所以一早經openrice訂了位,remark了周年紀念及request了寫甜品碟...入到餐廳,店員叫我們上一樓,我被安排坐在下面相片的另一方,一張長梳化,放了一張張枱,2人坐一張枱,一個人坐梳化,另一人坐對面的椅子,枱與枱距離不算闊(所以店員主動幫我們keep起束花),兩邊鄰枱的客人談話內容聽得一清二楚,我約一時入座時是over 90%入座率,所以環境真心不好,好嘈,下面相片是2時後拍攝的...週五惠顧$258以上的午餐包括免費暢飲,但我當天是星期四,所以無緣品嚐免費麵包唔錯,皮微脆內軟,尤其個醬,有小小蒜味,好合我口味章魚炸丸子不像平日有粒章魚在中間,而是選用了章魚調味醬,雖然味道唔錯,濃章魚味,不會太咸,但沒有了粒章魚仲覺得缺些什麼...鰹魚片一般運作我覺得韃靼吞拿魚比較遜色,吞拿魚不鮮味,襯牛油果更提不起鮮味,如果加一些黑醋,整體感覺可能會較fresh豬肉烤得幾香,蘋果酸橙泥好幼滑清甜,寶石生菜有苦味,烤土豆好夠熱紅燒牛頰肉非常淋,入口即浴,濃牛味,不過本人不太喜歡,有點像中式炆牛腩南瓜泥好好味好幼滑,配牛頰肉吃,牛頰肉好味咗,無咁膩上面的辣椒小辣,配牛頰肉吃,也能令牛頰肉無咁膩Brownie一向幾甜,一小件便足夠香檳是餐廳送給我們慶祝周年紀念的送上Brownie時,店員還幫我拿回我的花和主動幫我們影相不過我隔離枱也是慶祝周年紀念而店員主動幫他們用客人電話影相,還拿店的即影即有相機拍照差別待遇呢!後來店員送了一張$100禮卷給我,我才想起我上一次在同集團的Pici跟同事慶生是有一張卡內附一張$100禮卷及即影即有照片,正所謂無比較無傷害,原本服務是好的,可惜...不過一樓穿灰色西裝男士真有些黑口黑面,問他拿回放花的紙袋,他主動幫我放回束花,但我講了3次唔該,他都無表情無回應$100禮卷可於同集團的Pirata, The Optimist, TokyoLima, Chaiwala, Meats, Honjo, TMK, Hugger Mugger, Pici, La Favorita, and Honjokko 晚市及週末早午餐時段使用總括來說食物可以,服務可以,環境在繁忙時間太嘈

12.12.2022 星期日 晚The Optimist這間位於灣仔的The Optimist bookmark了很久，一直沒空去試，直至今日到上環欣賞話劇，可以順道到餐廳嚐嚐。一到餐廳門外可見綠色的外圍配上一棵棵小盆栽作裝飾，加上餐廳內的燈光實在很吸晴。走進餐廳，舒適的沙發加上墊子，另有一大棵奪目耀眼的聖誕樹，樓下主要是酒吧，走到樓上是餐廳，其中一部分佈置成小花園一般，很是漂亮，整個餐廳佈置得很溫馨浪漫，適合情侶、朋友到來。餐牌有不少選擇，如果不知怎麼揀是好，可直接選擇廚師推介「CHEF FEED ME PoR favour $568 PP」，Includes Juicy Lobster Rice ，這個龍蝦飯是餐廳特色美食，很多人食過都讚好。Pulp De Gallega $190 Slow cooked octopus, paprika, potatoes 經過慢煮的章魚彈口鮮甜，加上薯仔、少少辣椒粉調味，很可口。Grilled Veggies and Anchovies $95Eggplant, bell peppers, anchovies,onions, coca bread這個coca bread脆卜卜，麵包上添加了茄子、燈籠椒、鳳尾魚、洋蔥，酸酸甜甜的味道，口感豐富美味。Usda Prime Rib Eye $390五成熟的肋眼牛扒，斜切成一片片，牛味十足，加上充足配菜，賣相口感一流。Seabass 鱸魚 $240鱸魚雖然份量不是很多，但表皮煎得香脆，肉質鮮甜美味，如果配菜多些更滿足。Heritage Tomatoes $150Selection of Mediterranean tomatoestuna, red onion, shallot vinaigrette新鮮味甜的地中海番茄配上吞拿魚、紅洋蔥、蔥油醋汁，酸甜野味，是小食不錯之選。職員很主動有禮，詳細介紹餐單；當天剛巧有客人生日，三個職員齊齊上前慶賀，其中一個彈結他，客人也不禁齊拍手唱生日歌，氣氛非常熱鬧，如果想同家人/朋友聚會，或慶祝佳節，是個不錯的地方。

上一篇帶完大家去食英式下午茶，今次雖然都是下午茶，不過就是西班牙風味。The Optimist 是有三層的異國風情餐廳，精緻的裝潢也很好打卡餐廳以藍綠色為主調色，還放置了不少植物，很Chill的喔我和朋友被安排在地下那層，可惜用餐時間沒辦法坐到打卡位。不過最後有等到那些桌子的客人離開，雖然入黑，但還是能拍到好看的照片。Afternoon Tea Set ($198 / per person)如果餐飲選茶、咖啡或者果汁，那就可以添飲，店員都會主動問會不會需要來多杯。當然也可以選擇加錢$88轉成香檳或是其他定制的雞尾酒或特色飲品。既然是西班牙風味的下午茶，當然都是一些相關的經典美饌。而且這個下午茶主要都是鹹食，甜食不多又不太甜膩。底層的雜錦醃菜小食串太太酸澀了，吃到我臉都皺成一團，開胃到懷疑人生 ... 薄餅有三款鹹脆得宜的口味，西班牙虎皮尖椒、烤八爪魚、伊比利亞火腿加泰隆尼亞中層的松露炸丸子、伊比利亞黑毛豬火腿炸丸子。香脆鹹香的薯球，前者每一口都吃到濃郁的松露味，面層還放上黑松露片。另外那個呑拿魚他他的撻皮淋了 ... 或許是我們拍照太久!?頂層是甜品部份，最有西班牙風味的當然是 油條伴朱古力醬撻迷你版的經典西班牙油條不怕吃到膩，表面的玉桂粉好像有點少，不夠濃。最後還有 加泰羅尼亞奶油撻 和口感軟綿的 巴斯克芝士蛋糕。
