Cafe Costa在IFC的Lane crawford内，老实说位置比较难找，原来门口在一堆化妆品专柜后面，我和朋友就在前面走过了也没有发现到，真的是一额汗。是日约了一个好朋友聚旧，所以一早预订了去High tea，当日是星期六直接过去也不用等位。这家一直标榜环境和情调，果然不假！服务生安排了window seat，因为天气热就选择了室内的，如果不怕热和吸烟的朋友可以坐室外，环境应该要更好。点了一份Tea set for two，上桌速度很快呢，只需要5分钟，是一早已预备吗？Tea set 是典型的三层架，骤眼看食物外观及水准都挺不错。最上层是英国松饼，本应是最不会失手的部份，它就让我们都失望了。第一它烘烤得太干、就是你掉到桌面上会硬到有声音的那种。第二之前看其他食评都有看到有提子干、但我们眼前的是原味，还好的是有2款果酱。中层是2种口味的Macaron、甜度适中；蓝莓cheese cake，蛋糕属于软身的、不算很正宗但芝士味很浓喔；还有2个原味的忌廉泡芙、不过不失。最下层是咸点，4款不同的三文治。包括有蛋沙律、烟三文鱼、芝士火腿、水牛芝士，老实说是好吃的但这些款式功夫实在不用多，整体感觉有点随便。最后和朋友各自点了一杯Cappuccino，很香、比例调得不错，可惜没有拉花。总括来说质数在水准之下，整体有点太随意，种类也很普通，主要是配合环境，如果想要在繁华的中环区找个地方坐著聊聊天也是个不错的选择。

Isola was full for lunch so my friend and I decided to go next door to get the same ambience. Big mistake! The view is the same but the food and service was so disappointing! Nothing special about the food. For HK$240 a set lunch, one can get a much better deal somewhere else, and that's BEFORE serviceis factored into the equation! The staff seemed to be operating on a chinese local restaurant mentality. They had no subtlety, they interrupted our conversation several times, and in a very intrusive way. One staff even tried to take away my food when i still have half of it left!! What kind of training did they get? Did they realize this is not a local dai pai dong and customers are not expecting a dai pai dong experience for that kind if money? Where is their concept of dining experience? Just don't be fooled by the view, the overall experience will be very disappointing.

今年生日正日老公竟要忙碌返工+开会，真惨.. 为此，一家三口决定提早两天预庆，刚好那天又是农历生日，妙! Cafe Costa位于IFC的lane crawford内，藏在化妆柜里面，颇为隐蔽，不过也是因为这样，环境显得更有情调，很迷人!偌大的落地玻璃加上无敌璀璨维港美景，令妈妈想起多年前在楼上H one的生日饭。不同的是H one消费相当高，贴近酒店餐厅水平，这里却很抵食，合共消费只$688；如此的平，其实是因为爸爸醒目订了Travelzoo的团购啦!二人餐包红或白酒一支，是晚由老公拍板点了来自意大利的红酒，甜酸味很平衡，颇易入口，风味不错。虽然两口子最后饮剩了半支之多，有一点浪费，不过在如此美景下举杯享受了，开心过，已很够了。 大家先以鲜制杂锦面包篮开胃，拌以意大利油醋上台。面包质素正常，当中有款质感特别软的，留给宝宝吃了；后来他很吃完，再向店方要求来多一件（指明给宝宝），侍者也欣然送上，服务很贴心! 很搞笑是宝宝不止自己吃，间中又会请爸爸吃的，好慷慨啊~~~ 爸妈的头盘也上台，开餐了! 虽然是团购，食物款式及水准都很不错，首先是香辣吞拿鱼沙律配柠檬汁、鲜橄榄、水煮蛋、四季豆。吞拿鱼熟度很理想，既有鲜味又够嫩滑，配以缤纷丰富、新鲜清爽的配菜，十分开胃! 另一头盘是香煎鹅肝配焦糖鲜云呢拿泡沫汁、杏脯、松树果、紫包心菜，鹅肝虽不算香馥味美，但值得欣赏是煎得脆口，配菜也很特别而有心思。之后是每日精选餐汤，当晚为蘑菇汤，颇为足料十分香口呢!来到主菜，款式也一样的吸引无比，首先是Seafood bouillabaisse 蕃茄红花炖海鲜，里面包括大虾、蟹肉、鱿鱼、大蚬、带子、鲜鱼，用料新鲜又丰富；不过高汤味虽鲜甜，却不太够浓厚，未把这款美食的精粹发挥出来。另一款主菜是慢烤羊扒配紫包心菜、水瓜柳、鲜橄榄，羊扒是刚好的五成熟，嫣红的羊肉嫩得十分夸张，微带膻香是出乎意料的美味，好吃得二人哗了出来! 甜品是Blueberry cheese cake，份量适中，简单得来味道不错，旁边那小堆忌廉尤其香甜迷人!饮饱食醉的一晚，十分满足开心，可见团购也有机会买到物有(超)所值的东西。至于正日的生日饭，就容后再记吧!

Tried the following from the 3 Course lunch menu:Entree: Sausage with tomatoes and mushroom. This came in a warm tomato based sauce - ingredients were fresh and the taste was quite ordinary - I think the pasta like sauce was too overwhelming.Main: Salmon fillets served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Surprising the best part of the dish were the sides (potatoes, asparagus and the sauce), as the salmon didn't have much taste to it.Dessert: Strawberry gelato - could not taste the strawberry flavour but it was a refreshing end to the heavy meal.Overall, like many other restaurants at IFC, the environment surpasses the food quality. However this place is more reasonably priced compared to others, and the seating is comfortable for both business meetings and catching up with friends. The view is great too on a sunny day!
