I've bought 4 "sets for two" from Groupon. The following are the descriptions: 赤柱高級海鮮餐：$299 品嘗 Rocksalt 海鮮二人套餐，嘆澳洲生蠔、鮮蟹肉餅、吉列炸蝦、澳洲盲槽魚及更多 (價值 $598)邊欣賞赤柱怡人風景，一邊享用豐富海鮮餐澳洲新鮮生蠔、鮮蟹肉餅、澳洲盲槽魚…食到舔舔脷澳洲大廚 Cameron Gardiner 曾於多間五星級酒店工作，精心炮製各款美食到赤柱海灘日光浴，然後到市集 shopping，再去嘆海鮮晚餐最啱 We have the dinner last night. The complaints:1) The long list of food (ie oyster, crab cake, deep fried prawn, etc) are merely choices to be included in the set. You can choose one amongst the long list as starter;2) there is NO Oyster.

We have the dinner last night. The complaints:
1) The long list of food (ie oyster, crab cake, deep fried prawn, etc) are merely choices to be included in the set. You can choose one amongst the long list as starter;
2) there is NO Oyster. French fries, green salad (but NOT any other salads) or deep fried prawn or crab cake were offered as replacement. Other than the deep fried shrimp and crab cake, I could hardly see any of these as replacement of the same value (not to mention quality);
3) As a DINNER set (ie海鮮晚餐), there is NO soup, and not even coffee or tea. I know some top-end restaurants do not include such in their set as well - IF they make it clear prior to ordering at Groupon. In a HK context, most western restaurants will include such in a DINNER set!
4) the 2 choices of main course are barramudi or seafood pasta. The barramudi is far from fresh (and hence it tasted badly), The pasta is ok on its own - as there is limited "seafood", e.g. clams separated from shell(!).
5) The "desert", again, is such a nightmare! It is merely fried sugar (kind of) with a few fruit spreaded on it.
The "dinner" includes: a) starter: i) 1 piece of crab cake and 1 piece of deep fried prawn; or ii) french fries; or iii) green salad; b) main course: i) barramudi or ii) "seafood" pasta; iii) "desert" (if you could use such a description).
We end up half-full after the "dinner" (ie海鮮晚餐). As to the quality, the deep fried prawn is ok but NOT the remainders of the "dinner" set.
I'm not naive in expecting a superb dinner at this price ($299 for two + 10%). The fact, however, is that it is so poor both in quality and quantity to an extent that the whole dinning experience is WORSER than one in any of the fast food restaurants!
