Finished a wine tasting at JW Marriott, and booked a table at Cafe Gray for dinner. Kind of full house in a cold and rainy night, luckily we had made reservation.This's my first time having dinner, and previous only came over for drinks. Loving the wine selection and atmosphere of casual interior and great night view of HK.Food menu has quite a lot choices, prices are up market and I did expect a lot on the quality.

This's my first time having dinner, and previous only came over for drinks. Loving the wine selection and atmosphere of casual interior and great night view of HK.
Food menu has quite a lot choices, prices are up market and I did expect a lot on the quality.
We ordered White wine to start, the Grey Rock Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand is very refreshing, good to act as a "wake-up" drink after a long day work. Followed by Château du Gaby 2004, very nice.
We ordered foie gras and steak tartar for appetizer.
Foie gras has no surprise, not bad. Not sure if it's because of the cold weather outside plus the air-cond, it's colled down upon putting on the table.
Steak tartar is of high quality, nicely chopped and fresh.
Coming to the main course, I chose the daily special, Linguine with mushroom in Chandonnay cream, very creamy, I like this kind of sauce base. Portion is big enough as a main course.
Another main is the Cod in Weisling, errrrr....wondering if this should be the dessert instead of main course, too sweet indeed. Cod itself is nicely cooked, but the sauce taste really too sweet that cover the taste of the cod. Maybe the Chef would like to be innovative, but this is too heavy. Also, the portion is rather too small, as it is not really "fine", so it should be a bit larger to be fair.
Dessert, very disappointed.
Chocolate Rum Toast, it has no chocolate taste at all.
Floating Island, is NOT floating. Very limited sauce in a flat plate...totally different from the original idea of this dessert
Service is good and friendly, restaurant managers do care about customer voices. The place is rather too noisy, cannot treat it as a fine dining place, but a casual cafe with up market prices.
It's fine to try once, focus on the wine and view, and don't set too high expectation on the food.
