A group of us (8 ppl) went there for a bday celebration last night as Amber is supposed to be one of the best French restaurants in town. We thought it couldn't go wrong with this. We were required to get a 9-course menu but we negotiated to have a 6-course menu instead as we don't want the dinner to be taking too long. When we compared the two menus, the difference is only 2 appetizers and 1 cheese course. DecorWe were really looking forward to trying this place but upon arriving at the restaur
Decor
We were really looking forward to trying this place but upon arriving at the restaurant, the decor is not impressive. The tables are so close to each other and we don't feel very spacious and comfortable. It would be a good date spot but there are def better ones in HK.
Service
Service was decent. The main host from Paris was very nice but we thought they could have explained each dish better.
Food
The 6-course menu was ok but not impressive. The portion was pathetically small. I mean it's about HKD 2,000 per person but we have had maybe a total of 12 bites throughout the whole meal. You can argue that if we have had the 9-course menu, the experience would be better. But when each course is like a finger bite food, I double it would make much difference. The worst course is the entree - wagyu beef - it was like one tiny piece and it took me 3 bites to finish it.
Trust me, I know what is fine dining as we have been to many great restaurants (Gaddi, Cafe Grey Deluxe, Petrus in HK; Daniel, Cafe Boulud, DB Bistro in NYC, and some other great ones in London and Madrid), but this is by far the most disappointing experience! There is a Chinese saying "虛多於實", it truly applies to this place. They try to be fancy but there is absolutely no real substance! I really don't understand why the reviews here were so positive....hummm
Wine
Wine list is extensive and we ordered two bottle of wines that costed a total of 22K.
At the end, our guests were not impressed and satisfied despite the meal took 3 hours and it was pricey. I honestly don't think it's worth the time and money. Please go to other places if you can. We will never go. ack again!
