見到餐廳環境幾靚就想同男朋友試下，點知😰餐廳有三層，被安排坐最高個層但呢層有個特色(缺點）就係有個open grill station，可惜抽風系統唔太好😶‍🌫️加上燈光較暗令到成餐飯對眼都好辛苦🥺去廁所一經過個station對眼比啲煙熏到好痛嗌左個Chef Feed Me嘅set $490/p 加左$48/p要左個龍蝦飯同$60要左隻生蠔麵包係幾好食嘅🍞不過如果係熱嘅會更好。生蠔係今日MVP🤩新鮮嘅配埋個汁食到個甜味。頭盤一共有5款，不過不失去到主菜不得了🙃就係個龍蝦飯一上菜就覺得唔對路🙈啲汁未收乾，未去到食粥嘅感覺但口感上唔太好😵‍💫最大嘅問題係隻龍蝦🦞瘦、乾、柴都預左，始終用嘅係波士頓龍蝦🙈但真係估唔到佢係霉左🤯所以食左好少就冇再食落去，叫人收嘢上甜品。侍應好驚訝點解我地食唔晒仲唔想打包，好貼心咁話可以幫我地拆肉。咁我地就好誠實咁同佢話翻隻龍蝦霉左，之後經理過嚟同我地講”呢個dish佢地日日都會賣晒，每日都新鮮入貨新鮮處理”。其實個飯本身味道okay，係隻龍蝦霉左，我都唔需要你換過比我或者攞咩著數，所以我真心唔太明個經理同我講呢啲說話有咩意思🤷🏼‍♀️係覺得我地細，我地唔識食？如果唔

Today it’s my best friend’a birthday. I plan to find somewhere cozy , not super expensive with good vibes. After researching for a bit, I decided to come to optimist which is one of my fav restaurants of Pirata group ! I requested for a quieter table in advance and we were given a table which was in a more private corner. We chose the broken egg ($178) and grilled sirloin ($288) sets with tuna tartare and shrimps (+$28). For dessert we had a budding and a cheesecake. The food was all quite delic

個電話超難打得通 想book位打咗兩日。book六個人send email 話要畀credit card confirm，又擾攘咗兩個電話，又係勁難打得入。終於成功lunch順利入座。 餐牌有點複雜 同事同staff都問咗幾分鐘，見到出名嘅龍蝦湯飯要等30分鐘就冇叫。餐廳侍應都很nice。 倒咗碗凍菜湯，我就覺得一般唔合口味太酸，同事幾喜歡。吞拿魚他他，一般。牛油果醬幾好味。澳洲牛扒，失望。我叫medium rare,但上了medium - medium well，肉質有點韌，冇乜牛味。$288嚟講有啲失望。甜品Flan，不太好甜品的我覺得有點膩。

一早openrice book左，不過早左去到都即時可以安排座位。員工好friendly😊今次坐在樓上，窗邊位一邊望風景一邊進食。全場有幾個枱都是慶祝生日或者紀念日，員工會過去送上蛋糕及幫人影即影即有，整體感覺不錯

Decor有情調而又充滿歡樂氣氛的餐廳。地面有bar 枱, high tables 也有comfy booth 想happy hour 叫啲tapas 一流。2樓係proper sitting。有少量booth 位。一餐晚飯聽到三次生日歌（waiters with guitar & cake) Food Quality 2位ordered 2 tapas, 1 entree and 2 desserts. Tapas - Beef cheek & truffles croquettes.Beef cheek 非常淋而有好強牛肉味，用咗當做的南瓜做了個南瓜蓉併南瓜子，配搭效果有驚喜。Truffles croquettes 鐘意truffles 必試！外脆內軟，滿口truffles 味嘅感覺。Entree - Red snapper雖然係signature dish 之一，魚唔太新鮮。chef 用咗好多蒜片調味，還可以。Desserts - Caramelized torrijia & mixed berry cheesecake.Mixed berry cheesecake 本來食飽ch

今次既post遲咗幾個月，最近先有時間重整相片，不過嗰日嘅開心依家都會記得☺️上網搵咗幾間，見到呢間評語都幾好，特別係慶祝生日是首選❤️上網一早book定甜品寫上生日字句，order甜品上既時候會成班店員會一齊同你唱生日歌🎼👍🏻仲有個係彈着結他伴奏，氣氛真係好好，希望朋友冇嚇親啦😂💥食物💥1️⃣Lobster rice: 波士頓龍蝦肉質彈牙，龍蝦醬汁帶有少少蕃茄味，整體味道好出色，必點～2️⃣Grilles pork ribs: 平時豬肋骨唔係我首選，不過有一位朋友唔食牛就叫呢個試吓，點知有驚喜😳肉質好軟腍，個醬汁又甜甜地幾好味！3️⃣USDA Prime rib eye: order了七成熟，切開呈微粉嫩色，口感嫩，有肉汁，不過牛味就唔算好濃。Cocktail我就唔太記得🤔不過就叫做慶祝生日而飲就覺得比較好，如果唔係個人就覺得唔使特登叫，但係甜品方面就一定係必點好好食😋不過佢有限時90分鐘會比較趕，原因佢真係人流好多咁真係都合理嘅😂不過燈光比較暗….如果影相就真係要打燈會比較好，最後佢會幫我哋影一張即影即有嘅相片留念，真係抵讚❣️

第一次幫襯已經係剛開張個陣，即係都5年前🙈 淨係記得裝修好靚，食物幾好味。一直想食第二次都冇機會，就襯生日再食😌PADRON PEPPERS唔食青椒的我地，被媽媽強烈推薦食哩款西班牙小青椒。表皮皺皺地，雖然只係鹽同橄欖油煎炸，但好似零食咁會令人食唔停口，而且冇乜青椒味，作為開胃菜非常適合！JUICY LOBSTER RICE600GRAM超大隻波士頓龍蝦，不過龍蝦好似唔係太新鮮，肉唔係好爽口。好彩飯好入味，好重龍蝦同蕃茄味亦好creamy。USA PRIME RIB EYE一大塊木板上菜，medium rare煮得剛剛好，肉好稔，炭燒味香濃，配埋芥末同蒜頭食好夾。LA PINA簡單來講係燒菠蘿+椰子雪糕。上菜的時候2個店員行過來拎埋唱生日歌，本人表示被嚇親🙈之後仲有一兩枱人生日，店員仲拎埋結他，好有氣氛。埋單仲得意，用西班牙passport封面做的套夾住張單😂

上星期日嚟呢度同朋友食brunch🌞雖然唔係任食, 但係見到brunch menu都幾豐富, 仲有佢嘅signature Juicy Lobster Rice🦞🥘🤤 所以一於嚟試吓呢度嘅brunch由朝早11:30am食到14:30, 啱晒同朋友慢慢傾偈, 坐足三粒鐘chill下☺️首先staff會為你送上麵包🥖🧄🧈佢呢個嘅麵包外脆內軟, 加埋佢自家製嘅香蒜蛋黃醬(Aioli/Garlic mayonnaise)真係好好味🤤Brunch包括:冷盤🥬🧀🥓🫒有parma ham, 新鮮蔬菜, 芝士, 橄欖, 酸瓜, 肝醬, 脆餅乾等等全部都好好味, 尤其是蔬菜清新爽甜, 加埋鹹香嘅parma ham真係一流然後就有三款tapas:- 烤蝦🦐 蝦肉新鮮彈牙, 只係用少少鹽簡單調味已經好正- 可樂餅🧡平時都少食炸嘢, 覺得呢個可樂餅幾好味, 又唔會好油膩- huevos rotos🍳🥓 唔係好知中文係咩,不過其實就係有兩隻煎蛋, parma ham, 辣肉腸碎, 底下仲有啲薯餅所有嘢撈埋真係好正, 尤其是啲蛋汁撈埋啲薯餅🤤然後到我最期待嘅主菜部份🤤JUICY LOBSTER RICE 🦞🥘呢個要

非常失望的一餐😢—————————————————————今日朋友book咗八點鐘嚟餐廳食晚餐餐廳氣氛嘅好，入去的時候已經聽到職員為其他食客慶祝唱生日歌，感覺幾良好我哋被安排嘅位置在一樓，基本上一坐下的時候已經感覺到非常大風和好凍，坐左幾分鐘已經要求希望調校細啲冷氣或者其他座位，可惜只是被員工敷衍了事，還是被強風吹住。我哋點左三個食物，第一個Beef Cheek 82 10分鐘就已經上咗菜，不得不提佢嘅牛面肉做得非常出色，夠腍有口感而且牛味十足，配菜嘅蘿蔔蓉到非常creamy但係可惜其餘兩個食物等咗一個鐘都係冇出現，問侍應係咪漏單嘅時候只係得到回覆”on the way”或者係”coming”。最後係大約九點二十分嘅時候先至上Juicy Lobster Rice，但係已經等到冇晒胃口，被風吹到又凍又眼瞓，職員見到咁嘅情況都調咗我哋去近廁所方向嘅位置，但係其實近走廊位置風速都係一樣只係靠牆嘅位會冇咁大風。Juicy lobster rice上菜嘅時候溫度只係微暖，朋友形容個飯好似食緊粥咁略嫌太”watery”，冇預期嘅咁好食。最後仲有一個Ham Broken Egg，大概係lobster

心情跌到落谷底，去咗灣仔找好友談心，一間比較有情調嘅西班牙🇪🇸餐廳🍴，樓上可以用餐，樓下亦可以小酌怡情🍷———————————————————————————🍽𝙂𝙧𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙋𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙍𝙞𝙗𝙨 🐽💬朋友唔食牛，所以點咗豬肋骨，味道偏甜，肉質鬆軟較腍，容易進食，配上紅酒🍷，暫時忘掉一切煩惱😣.🍽𝙉𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙣 𝙎𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙈𝙞𝙡𝙠𝙮 𝙇𝙖𝙢𝙗 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧🐑💬有機會叫都會想點嚟試，羊肩嚟自西班牙🇪🇸北部，肉質超級好嫩，捲起一碌嘅狀態烤煮，鋪上薄荷香草🌿醬，變得清新，加上燒原個蒜頭🧄，賣飛佛😋.🍽𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙞𝙚 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙄𝙘𝙚-𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢🍨💬邪惡之中亦係相當美味，濃郁嘅朱古力🍫配襯雲呢拿雪糕🍦，無人能抗拒😋

上網見到呢間西班牙餐廳環境幾靚，就lunch一個人過左黎試下，之前試過就咁walk in話冇位，所以我book定先😂餐廳有三層，裝修係正既，d員工好nice好有禮貌，見到我一個人食就講笑話可以join埋一齊食🤣因為第一次試，我簡左最平果個course，同埋簡d野食都係menu上面建議既Lunch Set ($178)麵包個麵包好硬，配沙律醬，沙律醬個質感同味道都好似卡夫沙律醬咁，又唔夾又冇誠意🙈Gazpacho個碗有小小麵包同洋蔥碎，坐低左一陣個waiter就倒左d蕃茄湯落黎，d湯唔知點解好臭，倒果陣我明明已經戴著口罩，但都聞到好強烈既草青味再加小小酸臭味，飲落就係將蕃茄拎去榨汁既味，仲要冇調味，草青味勁到傻，我要加埋d麵包碎同洋蔥碎一齊飲先勉強蓋到d味，極難飲同奇怪既一個湯😭😭Padron Peppers微苦，d鹽都中和返青椒苦味既，不過不失Tuna Tartar吞拿魚有用醬油醃過，但味落得重手左咸左d，不過都算令吞拿魚個鮮味出到黎，同埋份量好多，食極都仲有咁，下面既牛油果醬就落得檸檬汁太多，食落幾酸下同埋食唔出牛油果既香味，配脆麵包食都可以既Broken Egg 2.0賣相幾靚，個

呢個一定要一開始講…夏天唔可以去呢間餐廳, 🥵🥵🥵裏面溫度熱過焗桑拿, 室外仲涼過室內另外可能我哋太遲book位, 我們3人, 只能迫在一張二人枱, 仲要面對面對住另外一台陌生人,有點局限同尷尬除咗室温過份高以及座位方面,呢間餐廳服務&食物味道都算不錯, 但多多少少也受到環境影響但佢冇收service charge, 呢樣幾好我們book了食呢個set dinner $398pp, 不算貴不算平, 4個starters share蝦-個味好似食緊粟一燒, 中規中矩Croqutte- 係薯蓉芋泥啲frd, truffle重Broken eggs- all day breakfast菜- 呢個最有驚喜, 酸meimei,最好食MainLamb Shoulder, 肉整到好鬆軟, 左右兩旁焗到好脆, 配埋海鹽同醬食好matchyLobster rice- 中規中矩, 正常, 下次應該唔會叫DessertCheesecake- 味道還好, 但冇expect係有小小暖Coffee Icecream- 我冇嘢講,拎到嚟都就快溶晒,賣相零分, 可能因為餐廳室温真係太熱了最後買單嘅時候,拎張bill嚟

It seems to be a common trend with the Pirata chain that most of the menu may start off strong, only to end poorly and going downhill from the main course onwards. It wasn’t our first time at The Optimist, either generally or for the Restaurant Week deal. This was probably the most average experience at The Optimist. Starters: Broken Eggs with Iberico Ham, Chorizo with croutons Main: Rib eye, SalmonDessert: Berry “cheesecake” Highly recommend the broken eggs, runny yolk with potatoes and salty h
