Craving some good ole' fashioned cajun food? Look elsewhere. This is not the place for you, despite what you may hear or read in local blogs. Firstly the good: the space and decor are absolutely beautiful. They've really nailed it on the look and the atmosphere. There is typically also not a long wait. Unfortunately, we don't just go to restaurants for the aesthetic. The food was pretty awful. We had a starter called "dips with nachos" that comes with a small bowl full of greasy but admittedly tasty homemade chips/crisps. The dips, though, were guacamole (most definitely not homemade; the kind you buy at a grocery store that is pumped with preservatives so that it doesn't brown), french onion dip (also store-bought), and a less-than-mediocre salsa that had too much sugar in it. Surprise, surprise - that wasn't homemade either. The main course was some sort of jambalaya with angel hair pasta that was served for two. It was tasteless, oily, and took about 45 minutes to come out. We barely finished it. Worst of all - it's very expensive. We paid around $600 HKD for two people who didn't finish what was mediocre food. Too bad too, because it really is a beautiful space.

A cozy neighbourhood restaurant at Sun Street in Wanchai. The ambiente is super cool and the service was friendly.I have tried the pork and duck rillette which was presented and tasted very good. I will definitely go there again and try the ribeye steak which was on display in a sous-vide machine.

AVOID. We ordered a few appetizers and a main, plus a few drinks. The bill came to around HKD 700 for two people, which was very over-priced considering what we received. The drinks were sub-standard, but the skull glass that one of the cocktails came in was a surprising (albeit superficial) touch that was at the end of the day, a cheap trick. I hate restaurants who favor style over substance. The appetizers we ordered were: the Cajun-style corn on the cob; chicken wings and grilled shrimp with grits. All of them were mediocre. The corn on the cob (half-heated) was overwhelmed by dollops of mayonnaise and not much else. The chicken wings weren't terrible but at HKD 70-80 for five pieces, they were extortionately overpriced. The grilled shrimp and grits was hugely disappointing. In the US, shrimp is typically peeled and then grilled, creating that characteristic char on the flesh of the meat itself. The shrimp came with the shell fully intact, making it taste more like it had been boiled or stewed (which is fine if we had ordered that, but we didn't!). Everything was lacking Cajun spices. The main course we ordered (ribs with a side of fries) was tepid and artificial. The ribs did fall off the bone, but tasted oily and lacked flavor. The fries were okay, but tasted like they had been fried or baked from frozen. One of them was even still half-frozen––you can tell when the potato has been packed very tight in the center and is a dense texture, not crumbly and loose like when made fresh. My husband and I are experiencing stomach cramps and are generally feeling unwell after the meal. Save your dollars and your health and go to a local cha chan teng instead; it's better and cheaper.

Moonshine & The Po’s Boys系一间深受ig, openrice foodbloggers欢迎既餐厅。今次我就同几个朋友慕名而来试下系味真系咁掂😀Iberico Baby Back Ribs ($250) 当然好唔好味系好主观，但呢个baby back ribs啲肉又韧又少，调味过酸，definitely not what i expected from a $250 dish.再黎试下佢地洗哂版既Peanut Butter & Popcorn milkshake ($135)一句讲哂：不知所谓。杯野用黎睇就ok，但饮落系冇味既。连基本既奶味、花生酱味都冇，好似一杯怪味水咁。轻松冇左$135，大家唔怕中伏既可以照嗌黎影张相既😀

香港人压力真系好大，星期四的晚上，虽然还差一天就放假，但一班朋友已经急不及待，忍唔住要去放松一下。晚上来到湾仔一间酒吧。日街，想不到在湾仔会有这个旺中带静的地方，不带半点湾仔的商业味道，感觉颇有特色。酒吧有上下两层，而刚好每逢星期四酒吧都会有 live band ，有外藉歌手驻场。饮酒是当然的，但又点少得加点食物。饮酒，炸鸡翼是必需的。Cajun bourbon prime rib roast红红的牛肉非常吸引，餐厅已将肉和骨分开，唔驶自己操刀，食得方便。牛肉烧的火侯控制得好，牛肉的周边熟透，肉身呈红色又唔会韧，入口香腍。牛肉与脂肪比例得宜，口感唔错，加埋酱汁一齐食味道更突出。薯蓉有惊喜，腍口的薯蓉内原来有薯粒，令薯蓉中间变得有咬口，口感丰富。Mac & Cheese (Chili con carne & cheddar)表面大量的香浓忌廉芝士非常吸引，将中间的通粉捞匀，让忌廉芝士能够散落到通粉之中。虽然卖点并非强大的拉丝，但味道绝对浓郁。Seafood Boil丰富海鲜拼盘，有蟹脚，虾，蚬，青口，粟米，薯仔同肠仔，份量十足，酱汁又够惹味，一班朋友share，一路饮一路食就岩晒。餐厅正好融入这个旺中带静的地方，一个令人非常relax的酒吧。
