Time of Visit:Weekday lunch. It was a Friday but about half of the tables were empty..... probably because its price is slightly steep for its location (a bit off Central).....Food:Lunch set is offered in the menu, depending on the main course, the price ranges from HK$198 to around HK$298. The soup and appetizer are good, but not exceptional. For the main course, I ordered a baked fish while my friends ordered sushi. My fish is very good I would say.

Weekday lunch. It was a Friday but about half of the tables were empty..... probably because its price is slightly steep for its location (a bit off Central).....
Food:
Lunch set is offered in the menu, depending on the main course, the price ranges from HK$198 to around HK$298. The soup and appetizer are good, but not exceptional. For the main course, I ordered a baked fish while my friends ordered sushi. My fish is very good I would say. The chef is thoughtful and cooks with "heart" I feel, as cheese+gaclic+maybe honey sauce is added to the fish skin before baking. It is crispy and goes along very well with the fish. I stole a piece of sushi from my friend and it was not impressive - both the raw fish and the rice. The coffee is good, a pleasant surprise.
Services:
Very good and attentive services! Since I am on pretty strict diet, there are two items in the menu that I cannot eat. The wait staff was very helpful and made the change for me which I appreciate.
Environment:
Very nice environment. The tables are not closely packed and it was not noisy at all so it is a very decent place for chatting and have a pretty good level of privacy (consider having lunch in Central).
Overall, it is a pleasant experience to me. I think its positioning is a bit awkward for lunch as it is not up to the level of top notch venues like Caprice and Amber but its price (around $220 - 330 per head without dessert) is slightly higher than the normal range in its area (especially it is a bit off the Landmark and IFC area). More efforts should be made on marketing and promotion to build its brand in order to keep its current price range. I hope its business will pick up soon.
