I have been eating in Jimmys on both sides of the harbour since the 1970sThis is the first time I tried Jimmys TST at lunch time, and the first time I had eaten in the new street level restaurant I had booked a table for 10 for lunchWe will not go there againI did wonder why the place was so empty whilst we were thereWe found the lunch time menu sadly lacking - even the a la carte menu seemed to lack some of the specialities that I enjoy in Jimmys CentralThe service was atrocious, and extremely slow considering we were eating from the set menu.

This is a great restaurantThe food is so so good. The service is excellent.The all-in-meal (= soup, starter, main course, dessert) is reasonably priced and I have not found another restaurant in Hong Kong to equal the quality of the food and the overall price.The daily made soups are extremely tastyThe steaks are perfect.The desserts are great.
