Situated right next to Limehouse, Nightingale exuded the same vibes as its sister next door. I wouldn't be surprised if they were owned by the same owner but, it is just my guess. Loved the environment at both restos. There's still some construction going on right outside the resto so that killed the view a bit. Environment:This is a petit but airy resto, with a very high ceiling where our party of 5 sat. The tables were quite high though. I liked the dark wood decor which was quite calming, and the full-length shelf featured many interesting trinkets. Added a nice, personal touch to the resto, making it really homely. Service:Good service. Efficient and attentive. They work really hard to make the guests feel at home, you can tell. The lunch menu is changed weekly. Food:$110 - $130 for (1) soup and rolls + (2) entree + (3) drink Mixed vegetable soup and rollsThe soup was watery and quite acidic (from the tomato). Plenty of veg (onion, courgettes, carrot) to fill one up. However, apart from the fact that it was nice and hot, this simple soup did not impress. It reminded me of the thin tinned soup people used to have at wars. Good thing it wasn't over seasoned. The rolls were a bitter disappointment - store bought, hard, tasteless and cold. Definitely not fresh, almost stale. Need to up the bread a bit - first impressions really count. Grilled chicken with salad in lemon and mint dressingI expected something like roasted chicken - dry, grilled, caramelized surface, a crisp, thin skin, tender meat in the center. A large chunk of breast or thigh would've been nice. Sadly we got pan fried chicken strips. There was waaay too much skin, which was very thick, fat, and soggy. Quite unpleasant. Chicken strips translates into cheap chicken. The bed of salad looked quite fresh though. Pan-fried garoupa fillet with ginger and soy reduction, served with couscous and beansThe sheer size of this dish was almost frightening. I've never seen such a thick, generous serving of fish fillet before. A's fillet was even thicker than mine @@. We suspected that it wouldn't be cooked through in the middle and we were right. We had to send the fish back to the kitchen for more time on the heat because the mid-section was too thick and quite raw. They should have butterflied the fillet before searing....to achieve even cooking. The fish itself was pleasantly moist and the meat flaked easily. But I couldn't finish it. The ginger and soy reduction was deliciously thick, intense but not overpowering. It was quite sweet. It went very well with both the fish and the couscous. Garouper is not a very strong-flavored fish unlike salmon and tuna, so the thick and intense glaze was necessary to flavour the fish. I stripped the skin off - soggy. What I found tastiest though, was the bed of couscous and beans underneath. It was like comfort food, extremely moreish, and nicely seasoned. No excess butter at all. The bean sauce was thick and tasty. There were bits of bacon incorporated into the sauce, delicious. You can't see clearly from the photo but it was truly delicious. I finished every last scrap. Shrimp (singular), mushroom and tom yum risottoNotice how lonely the lone shrimp is perched on top of the risotto. True to its description, it was like eating pearl rice cooked in tom yum soup. It wasn't really risotto sadly, the grains being all too soft and I didn't find it to be the right consistency. It's also a brave twist on a classic dish. Kudos for trying it out but I prefer the classic risotto! Iced chocolateRecommended by my fellow diners. It was pretty alright. Sweet, not icy, not grainy, a little thicker than milk, sprinkled with a bit of chocolate dust. Normally I'd just get a hot lemon tea with honey but, I don't regret ordering the iced chocolate! Conclusion The food is not exceptional. Lunch sets are not exactly cheap. Nightingale is not a WOW resto but I quite like the ambiance. Good for catching up over a relaxing lunch in a stress-free atmosphere with old friends, at a convenient location. Looking forward to starter upgrades and more sophisticated entrees. Throw in a simple dessert too - that'd be the perfect ending to an enjoyable meal.

今天再一次来到Nightingale，不过不再是一个人，而是带了5位同事一行人来。已经是第二次来，我们采取了另外一条路线兜少了路，感觉更近了。而且在中午前也打来向店家先下了order, 以免短短一小时的午餐有甚么差错，那就不够完美了！今次的面包比上次要松软一点个人以为此汤比上次的要进步一点，一来酸味没那么霸道，二来豆子煮得够淋身，好饮！不过两次都是"红汤", 不知道他们有没有煮忌廉汤，南瓜汤，洋葱汤的呢？丫！就个不就是传说中的法式腊鸭脾，噢不是，是法国的油封鸭吗？哈~又一次觉得, 法国人和中国人在"吃"这事上, 老是有不谋而合的地方呢~记得有一次看Jamie Oliver的煮食show，他正正就是介绍这个油封鸭的做法。那大量的鸭油看得我直瞪眼，也对这个＂稍微煎一下就会可以尝到的脆味＂抱有了无限暇思。简单来说，这个油封鸭的做法是把鸭腿洗净, 用盐,香草稍腌一下 然后放入炖锅里, 倒入大量鸭油实行低温慢煮.煮好后晾在一边, 被鸭油封著的鸭腿听说可以保存好多个月的~是一道非常花工夫的料理.回到nightingale 的duck confit, 果然是皮脆肉嫩, 只是有点咸。不过以这个价钱吃多那么花功夫的食物, 很不错呢~这个牛很好吃！！！厚薄刚刚好！吃牛扒也很麻烦, 太薄了没口感，太厚了又太考煎功。我个人很喜欢这款厚度。份量不少，肉质有嚼劲也多汁，如果表面可以再焦一点点就更有豪迈之感了！浅尝了一口，没想像中的滞腻，菇味却差了一点点～饭粒也算是有嚼劲, 很不错~唯一不足的地方，是我们今次order 了6杯冻朱古力。总觉得不够上次喝的时候浓。是因为一次冲太多杯吗？唉，长处要好好维持才对啊！

这天我们的一位老朋友请全场吃饭，我推荐了这个餐厅。大家欣然赴约，人多得上层也坐不完，要移师到地下，分坐两桌。坐落满有情调的船街，而室内的气氛又十分RELAX，一点也不显局促，地下一部份贯通上层，吊著一个个大鸟笼既是贴题，也充满了空间感。我特别喜欢室内一个长身的大黑柜，每一格都是美丽的风景。等够了人，说说笑笑，美食就上来了。先来的是沙律和面包。沙律我没吃，但大家说甚新鲜。面包暖烘烘颇松软，牛油先融解再挤花，花人工但也花了心思，很欣赏。蟹饼吃起来不太像蟹饼，肉不多，吃起来的感觉比较像鱼肉，炸得外脆内软倒是值得一赞。RISOTTO煮得比传统的稍软，但十分对我的胃口，大概香港人也接受不了传统的质感。磨菇汁的味道温暖醇厚，咸中带鲜味，甚好。PETSO酱海鲜意粉很丰富，有鱿鱼，鲜虾等。个人不大喜欢PETSO酱，较油，但意粉煮得刚好。相比之下，我喜欢RISOTTO较多。然后是荤类。鸭胸配鸭肶。总是鸭胸较受欢迎，但略嫌不够鲜嫩，应该可以少煮一些时间，搭配的酱汁甚好。猪扒十分JUICY，但我最喜欢的竟是垫底的长豆，爽脆如零食。甜品来了！是蛋糕棒配朱古力酱。很煞风景的想起小时的欣欣杯。但朱古力酱温暖顺口，配蛋糕当然好，但我想到更多可以搭配的食物：水果，饼干，面包......在餐饮里，我叫了童真的很是热朱古力，略嫌冷了，侍应知道后马上替我换上一杯，服务总的来说甚殷勤，但如果能上菜前先报上菜肴的名称就更好，尤其是我们里有人对食物敏感。但NIGHTINGALE给我的感觉非常好，有机会也会再来。谢谢老朋友请客，我们在这里过了一个愉快的晚上

之前在苹果睇到介绍，适逢姐夫生日，决定订枱一试。店舖小小但感觉舒服，第一感觉不错。众人点了多款小食（由于忘记名称，恕未能提供名称）有个是酿尤鱼，有个是蜜糖芝士.....等味道有heart ,用料不马虎，主菜那个猪肋骨更为出色，不似一般的味精猪肋，肉质细嫰，鸭胸那个味道也出色，洋葱汤味道清新，不过份量略嫌小了一点及个碗没有特色，磨菇汤菇香十足，讲多无谓，热烈建议大家一试。唯一美中不足是此店侍应服务有待改善，服务待应虽有礼但好像不是做开饮食界，侍应服装略不够专业，不过好在有诚意搭够。总结，食品用心制作有水准，价钱比其他同级店便宜。
