We ordered a salad, some sushi and some rolls.
The food here wasn't bad and the prices were quite reasonable. The only thing that I didn't like was the staff is a little bit pushy about their "daily specials", which meant the more expensive fish that is flown in the same day.
The restaurant itself looked pretty decent and authentic, but the emptiness of the restaurant shocked us. It was around 7pm when we arrived and there were only a table of 2 among the empty seats...perhaps that was why they needed to have groupon promotion. Nevertheless, we did not quite like the setting: the hygiene was below average as we spotted some trash and dirt around us; also with the extremly cold air conditioning that had us freezing the whole evening. It was not pleasant at all as any customer walking into the restaurant would expect the restaurant to live up to its 'presented' standard. 
The next came the 葱toro手卷 & 原板馬糞膽刺身 . The 葱toro手卷 were acceptable, the spring onions and toro were alright though nothing too surprising was spotted. Yet whenever I have 手卷 I am very aware of the quality of the seaweed as it represents whether the 手卷 is freshly made or not. Clearly, to me, this 葱toro手卷 failed in being freshly wrapped as the seaweed has gone hard and not crispy at all. As for the 原板馬糞膽刺身, I dare to say it was the worse dish of the night! When I bought the groupon, the photo of this dish shown on the site was relatively big in size and nice, but the reality of the dish was nothing comparable to that. Fine, I might have deceived by the photos. But the worst came when we actually tasted it, it was absolutely disappointing! The 馬糞膽刺身 was soggy and plain. It instantly melted into a pile of nothingness in your mouth! We had no idea what we were eating and we weren't even able to pick them up from the plate as it gone soggy even by picking them up! 
Comparing to the previous dishes, a slightly better one must be the 免治雞肉棒. I quite liked the teriyaki sauce they used and it was a decent dish to serve. Though C did not like it too much due to the lack of softness of the boneless chicken part. We both thought the taste of the dish was satisfying.
Thank god as the meal progressed towards the end, there was something that we actually liked - 三文魚頭野菜鍋! There were lots of ingredients inside the pot such as assorted vegetables, mushrooms, tofu and most importantly, the quite-luxurious cooked salmon's head! Both of us loved it as the ingredients were of a fine quality and blended in with the taste of the soup very well. Though the soup was slightly spicy (taste of kimchi somehow?), it was actually great in keeping us eating!
Two bowls of 海鮮炒飯 were served with the hot pot. Despite its softness of the rice, it tasted quite like the normal fried rice that one could find in a cha-chan tang (茶餐廳). There were not much ingredients found inside the bowl - generally, quite a plain bowl of fried rice.
Last but not least, the green tea ice cream. From the groupon website, the dessert was very nicely shown to be some cups of Dryers ice cream and something else that looked fine. However, it turned out to be nothing of that sort. When the bowl of ice cream was served, it was extremly HARD! Like it was the hardest ice cream I ever had in my life - like a rock, and by the absolute coldness that I could feel from a slight touch of the bowl...all I could do was to give a cold laugh at the end of my meal.. Do they expect customers to eat it straight away in such a condition? Or wait for another 2-3 hours?
海膽的質素比想像差,可能放得太久,所以有部門新鮮海膽已變成了風乾海膽
份量很小呀.....一個人吃也不夠. 不過味道很好, 蕃茄新鮮, 柚子醋汁也很開胃.
滿滿的一小碗, 咸咸的很有豆香~
海膽比我想像中要小了一點, 不過也排得滿滿的. 但奇怪一整板海膽連一片青瓜或什麼都沒有伴碟??
紫菜巳經有點軟身不脆了. 吞拿魚沒什麼味道, 可能雪藏太久了. 
雞肉加上了點雞軟骨很有趙頭, 而且喜歡它不油膩, 很香.
其實是芝士薄PIZZA加日式醬汁吧. 燒餅有點硬, 上面的辣味墨魚子看似魚子, 不過吃下去完全沒味道. 這個普通.
這個不吃不知原來蠻辣的! 三文魚頭是炸過的, 油脂豐富, 菜很多, 但豆腐只有一小塊,有點不夠. 湯底雖然是辣的但很惹味, 另一半居然不知不覺KO了整個湯底!!
雖然我平日是很少吃米飯, 但這炒飯是我覺得整晚最滿意的. 配料豐富, 飯粒不油粒粒分明, 不咸, 我喜歡.
這間「柊亭料理」座落於灣仔新冒起的地標區域 The East 中的 QRE Plaza 二十八樓，餐廳位置居高臨下，加上附近環境旺中帶靜，相信會是一個用膳的好地方。由於團購券只適用於星期六、日及公眾假期 12nn – 3pm， 為了避開午飯人潮，預約了某星期六的下午兩點。到達後，侍者領我們經過門口的壽司吧，沿著走廊往餐廳內進。嘩！原來內裡只得兩、三檯顧客，唔怪得假日要做團購優惠喇。
安頓後先觀察一吓四周，原來內裡設計主要以質地漂亮細緻、紋理獨特的柊樹木材為主題，配上餐廳素白的色調，環境看來簡約潔淨，甚為優雅。至於這兒的顧客用餐區，空間感十足，檯與檯之間的距離非常闊落，而且右手卡座更裝上一大片玻璃窗，讓客人可透過窗户，盡情飽覽灣仔獨特的城巿景致。餐廳職員見我對室內裝潢充滿好奇，左影右拍，竟自動報料說旁邊的活動式屏風可用來間格獨立貴賓房，還著我相約一眾好友於晚上來用膳呢！
「田園清新套餐」： 購入價 $45，原價 $136
主菜的野菜烏冬，面頭放上大量雜菜和菇菌，口感不錯，只可惜個醬油湯底，淡而無味，濃香不足，實在令人有點失望，尤幸底下的烏冬麵條，質感既滑溜又煙韌，吃來爽口彈牙，才令食慾得以提升番。隨餐附上的 2 件三文魚壽司，飯團揑得整齊結實，賣相不差，但飯粒吃來卻無甚米香，好彩三文魚入口尚算肥美嫩滑，味道不過不失。餐飲方面，可從緑茶、汽水、咖啡或茶中，任擇其一，我和老公都喜愛凍飲，揀了凍檸茶，味道中規中矩，只是稍嫌甜度偏低。
「日式牛肉風味餐」： 購入價 $58，原價 $158
由於這份套餐價錢較貴，所以除咗 2 件三文魚壽司外，還附加了 2 件玉子壽司。這兩件蛋壽司，口感雖然夠曬鬆軟，可惜味道太淡，甜味又不足，更毫無蛋香，一般貨色，還是三文魚來得簡單直接，肥美好吃。
本星期四閒著沒事，單人匹馬特意到灣仔走一趟，看看這兒的午餐 menu 有甚麼選擇。由於當天是上班日子，店裡用膳客人較多，女侍見我沒有訂座，問我是否介意坐壽司吧，見長長的吧檯竟然只得兩位顧客，我當然樂得清靜喇。翻過餐牌後，選了一份鹿兒島吉列咖喱豬扒定食 ($78)。
這份餐除主菜外，亦包前菜的田園沙律、麵豉湯、餐飲和甜品，份量十足。塊吉列豬扒是否來自鹿兒島就不得而知，只覺入口肉質偏瘦，甚為嚡口，更毫無肉汁可言，頗令人失望。反而個日式咖喱汁，香濃惹味，但味道又沒有過辣，配上唔多夠肉味的吉列豬扒，更能特顯出咖喱汁的甘香。當然還有不得不提的，是醬汁內裡那件薯仔，煮得鬆軟入味，配埋咖喱汁同吃，味道超正。
熱檸茶以茶包沖泡，飲落茶味不足，不過落咗 4 片檸檬之多，檸味勁濃，可惜只附上一包太古砂糖，甜度不足，飲落當然帶著點點苦澀味。單尾的微型牛乳奶凍，入口非常滑溜，奶味豐富，不甜不膩，是很不錯的一款甜品。由於可扣減 $30 現金，這次午餐連加一只需 $56，價錢也算公道。
我們下午一時半才到，結果整家店只有我們一枱客人，所以非常清淨. 我們被安排坐在偌大的窗台邊的餐桌， 眺望着雨中的灣仔半山，心情非常寫意，一室素白及木材設計裝潢，感覺簡約潔淨，給人很舒服的感覺。
很快待應便送來三文魚壽司及玉子壽司，賣相不差，一看就知是上佳的三文魚部位，但欠光澤及不夠新鮮，吃下去味道還可以，但溫度有點不夠凍，很明顯不是新鮮貨，真有點可惜! 好花堪折直須折，莫待無花空折枝!再好的食材還是要新鮮吃，尤其是海鮮，又不是牛排放在熟成室久了變熟成會更好味的~
我們訂的是原價 $158的「日式牛肉風味餐」 及原價 $136的「田園清新套餐」。
味噌湯太鹹，不ok~
