Went to Harlan's with other 2 friends on tuesday afternoon at this self claimed 'Fine Dining Experience" Restaurant at IFCBooked a table at 1500 and we were about 5 min earlier and was greeted by a lovely lady who was on a phone. Neither hung up the phone nor asked us to wait, she signal us to give her the reservation details, and after some talking on the phone and some typing on the laptop , she signal us again while hung up the phone and brought us to the dining room, I though I was in Mong
Booked a table at 1500 and we were about 5 min earlier and was greeted by a lovely lady who was on a phone. Neither hung up the phone nor asked us to wait, she signal us to give her the reservation details, and after some talking on the phone and some typing on the laptop , she signal us again while hung up the phone and brought us to the dining room, I though I was in MongKok.....
While we were lead to our table near to the window we could see that they were busy clearing up stuff from the lunch hour rush. after we settled down there was another server came and set our table with cutlery and napkins and one menu was placed in the centre of the table.
By the time we were ready to order another male server came by however with a un welcome look on his face,a.k.a Black Face, don't know if he have had a really bad day, since by the time I asked for the choices of the tea which he didn't offer or introduce to once I placed my tea order, he had this expression on his face that I shouldn't have asked .....
By the time our drinks arrived , don't know if that's their practise or just for the convience of the server, my tea set was placed on my right hand side just on top of my side plate, and eventtually he tried to move the plate to my centre (which I had to assist) to make more space and mind you the table was not a small one. and water was not offered till we were nearly finished....please....I'm not at a fast food or causal street cafe..
Finally came the food we orderd a Tea Set Tower, a Pizza and an extra dessert..
The scones and the preserves and creme spread were great, as well as their verson of Macaroons which was not as extremely sweet as what I've tried somewhere else. the Pizza was done perfectly with all the pperonis and chesse sitting on a thinly, crusty dough. And the Valhorna chocolate lava cake with vanila ice-cream run rasins and chocolate soup if you are a chocolate lover, you will like the intense but nor overly rich taste...
With such a price and their claim of 'Fine Dining Experience' they are not totally live up with it, my expectation of Fine Dining Experience should consist of Very Good food and drinks both in Quality and quantity, the ambience of the dining room and the Service specially the Fine Dining Etiquette of their servers which was extremely lacking even though this time I just came for Tea and I was not expectating something like ....Tsui Wah?
