The Pawn (已結業)

這次再與好友Q小姐重臨懷舊嘅The Pawn.今日嚟目的係飲嘢及那未忘的室內花園感受黃昏時游閒嘅心情.到達1/F選擇咗坐露台梳化位,好舒適可以斜倚著睇街景.叫咗1枝紅酒及1個小食併盤.紅酒入口微酸帶濃不夠醇,但好快就有酒精上到腦(很好feel),而併盤很<野>味,送酒首選,不過漏單追完10分鐘內便到.併盤有炸薯條(圖左1)粗厚身同平時一般餐廳食嘅唔同.煙肉卷(左2)唔係普通的煙肉卷內裏是西梅感覺怪怪.炸蛋(中間)不是炸彈,而係脆脆外皮包住那蛋黃還是半生熟的雞蛋,比乒乓波大一點.炸豬耳絲(左4)對比薯條顯得幼啲.炸魚條(最後)薄脆包鮮魚柳,好滑.左右醬分別係千島及他他.走時不忘嚟嘅目的之一*室內花園*需不是滿室花香烏語共鳴,但我感覺心情安靜很想逗留,可惜影相還是較暗黑,下次應該嚟嘆tea.

十二月廿四‧晴 在這裡開業之初，本想與大伙兒來吃一吃，但那時還未有套餐，午市散叫，沒有四百不能下樓，加上四方評語普遍一般，來吃的意圖，就此打住。最近經過，見有午市套餐供應，三道菜只二百九，合理價錢。沒有打算約人，吃菜也可以單刀赴會的，就訂了位來吃一吃。 訂位時指定要坐外邊的，又實在是出面是比較開揚舒服的。三道菜也是二選一，頭盤要了牛舌沙律，主菜的是燉牛肉批，甜品就是乾果布丁，是全英選擇。先來的麵包籃是一片烘熱了的麥包，吃起來有點脆口，塗上牛油，好吃的。 牛舌沙律賣相不錯，薄片牛舌舖在紅腰豆沙律上，旁邊圍了一圈醬汁，有點心思。牛舌凍凍的，口感爽脆，但卻沒有什麼味道，可以鹹上一點點。紅腰豆沙律加入了洋蔥粒，幾清新，但也是沒有什麼味道，令人吃完也沒有什麼印象； 燉牛肉批焗得香噴噴的，分開外邊的酥皮，熱騰騰的燉牛肉就在裡頭。牛肉切丁方，燉得非常之軟稔入味，連帶同煮的紅蘿蔔也相當好味。汁底不少，將熱辣鬆脆的酥皮和著吃，又香又好味。這一味菜，熱量極高，但也美味，值得用一點卡路里配額，也為近來的操練加點能量。不過這裡的酥皮，只是現成貨，比較起之後在Yorkshire Pudding吃到的酥皮，差幾班

之前行過修頓望到這棟歴史大押變咗餐廳就上嚟搵,見食評一般都想試吓,於是約埋知己朋友Q小姐去一試.昨晚21:30去到見到樓下有間中式餐廳(上過雜誌)*下次想試*側邊有條又黑又窄嘅樓梯,拾級而上1/F係酒吧,薰暗燈光下全是外國人,露台有大梳化感覺如在此三五知己把酒談歡很享受呢.照侍應指示搭<車立>上2/F,接待詢問要露台位還是裹面,我哋選露台望街,坐下侍應先問要咩飲料,我哋想飲紅酒,侍應隨後比咗個餐牌(一塊板夾住幾張全是英文的A4紙)我哋,對於識啲唔識啲穩陣起見都是請侍應介紹.頭盤兩份食~~清煮海鮮(青口,蜆,魷魚圈)清甜鮮味主菜~~~肉眼扒及羊扒肉眼扒伴薯條5成需香諗但似6,7成羊扒伴薯蓉6成共2件不過1件6成另1件似7,8成,唔蘇有羊味甜品~~~~含朱古力批伴雪糕(正確名稱不知道,唔太甜很好味,至於雪糕不像雲呢拿又有點椰子味,正紅酒~~~~~有幾種層次味道,入口差點到喉嚨才醇,食主菜時入口都醇埋,但完餐飲就澀食完仲上埋3/F花園仲好Feel無帶相機用電話影又黑得滯,所以無相擺上嚟.

in short.. .this place is extremely overpriced for such location and food quality ... i ordered some fish dish as my main course.... and honestly the fish is tasteless, rough, overcooked, small and in short it looks like some fish leftover found in a garbage can and mixed with a bunch of i don't know what... the whole dish looks like a plate of garbage all mixed together.... i lost my apetite after seeing the dish... i barely finished half of it and i thought that's it i am not going to torture

星期六, 本打算去Flying Pan食brunch, 結果改變主意決定試一試the pawn。朋友試過去上去飲野, 都說環境不錯。果然, 三層高的舊建築物仍保留他原有的味道, 懷舊的外觀和犘登的內部裝修, 意外的合襯! 而且沒訂位的我們, 竟然有露天位座, lucky~坐在露天的座位上, 望著灣仔的街景, 加上天氣很好, 感覺超relax~讚完環境, 要說說食物了。老實說, menu的選擇真的很少, 而且明明賣點英國菜但偏偏沒有English Breakfast, 令本打算食English Breakfast的我們有點失望。最後我點了一個set lunch, 要了沙津和白汁mushroom意粉。男友點了推介的fish n chips。先說沙津, 連愛酸的我都覺得太酸了。白汁意粉太多汁, 感到很heavy.....其實, 真的沒必要那麼多汁那麼creamy, 否則應該不錯。最後fish n chips來了, 我倆有點嚇了一跳, 那條fish炸到成條油炸鬼一樣, 看了的確減了不少食慾。味道麻, 還可以, 不過我們都覺得魚不是太新鮮。聽說the pawn和中環soho的press room

是晚聚舊。晚上八時許，本想和友人去Quarterdeck Club來個晚後小飲，奈何那兒的咖啡廳已經休息，只好到同區的Pawn。環境實在不錯，但露天平台有點擠迫，枱與枱之間的距離太近，對話容易被隔鄰聽到。點了三種紅酒，有零零及零四年的波爾多和零五年的美國(忘了產地)。一支的份量太多，點了carafe，份量剛好足夠兩個人一人一杯。服務態度良好，笑容滿面，有求必應。結帳六百多，每人飲了三杯質素不差的紅酒，聊了三個多小時，也不錯吧。下次見面，會是什麼時候？

A lot of reviews below seem quite negative about the service and the food (reminds me of Press Room a bit?). I have only been to the Pawn with friends for a drink. The tapas/snack food is quite good (French fries with foie gras aioli, etc.) and drinks are acceptable. The reason you go to the Pawn is really for the ambience and feel of being in a historic building. The old-world pub decor is good for going out to have a beer or drink with friends.I didn't really have any problems with the service

(1) Ox tongue salad: surprisingly good with mayo salad;(2) Fish n Chips: good but too big to finish; also can't be too wrong;(3) Spitfire (UK beer): can try; won't miss a lot if you didn't;(4) in general: not bad; a bit noisy but bearable; waiters were helpful but not too eager to please; would recommend outdoor seats if weather allows; will go again.

去過The Pawn兩次. 第一次為星期六吃午飯. 環境舒服. 坐露台感覺很不錯. 食物價錢不便宜(在預算之內), 質量還可以. Fish & Chips不錯, 但很多地方都可以吃得到一樣水準. 以$180價錢本人覺得不值. 牛肉沙拉不錯. 啤酒種類不平凡又新鮮. 服務水準和態度只熟一般. 可能因剛開張, 服務員較亂的關係.第二次為一個星期五晚上聚會. 十分熱鬧, 人頭湧湧. 服務由差 變劣. 忘記order事件發生好幾次. 朋友報告雞尾酒調得不好, 我的啤酒則沒什麼問題. 因為人多而變凌亂, 這種服務的確欠佳. 希望他們能有所改善.兩次到訪沒什麼驚喜, 但還是滿意. 只來喝啤酒的話相當不錯.

六月十三‧炎熱聽得太多關於在這裡吃東西的劣評，有不少也是可靠的食友，致使到現在也未有意欲來這裡吃東西，始終要試的店子又實在是太多太多。但來坐一坐，喝一杯啤酒，又好像不錯。是日在附近有會議要開，早了散場，又不想回公司，就拉同事來喝杯啤酒，飲到夠鐘才返歸。這裡的一樓是酒吧，有不少的疏化椅，樓底高，空調又強勁。比較起出面是烈日當空的盛夏，是無比的舒適。拿兩份番文雜誌，隨便在餐廳一角的長沙發坐下，要了杯啤酒，真的很不錯。這裡生啤選擇也有6款，要了半品脫的Splitfire，泡沫細密又豐富，跟起來麥味香濃，冰凍順喉。配合這個中西合璧的環境，很寫意。埋單42蚊，抵飲。來喝一杯，很不錯的。

環境: 呢度既格局有d似美利樓, 感覺不錯, 雖然地方略嫌細d, 夏天都幾鬼熱, 又近廚房... 但可以在鬧市中找到這種feel, 唔哂山長水遠, ok ga ! 難得同老公撐檯腳多謝老公食物: FISH & CHIP 勝在夠HOT, 很喜歡這個大大的份量; Lamp chop 味道ok (其實係冇味, 少d醃料好d) amazing ge 成罐新的mint apple sauce jelly!不知不覺飲左3大杯beer, 成180!! 貴左d! 不過間唔中一之, 冇計啦! 整體上good experience!

Went there for dinner on a thurs night...seems the waiters had no idea what they are doing or how to serve customers...i actually had to tell them what to do which was very disappointing!!! compare to the Press Room, this is alot worse..i was expecting a much more suprises with the food but it was just the same old...!! needs to get your act together guys

decori like it a a lot. not many restaurants in hk have this much character. being in a historic building obviously helps, but the designer did a superb job in making it special.foodi'm not a fan of british cuisine usually, but this menu is full of pleasant surprises. it's a kind of menu that you either love or hate. for me i love it because of its simplicity. and it's supposed to change everyday. ingredients seem fresh, although the clams i had was only so-so. overall, it's very goodservicevery

Although it's owned by the same group that runs the Press Room, the service and food certainly don't measure up. 1 out of the 3 waiters who served us smiled, like we owed them. And I think they should provide some kind of insect repellant for customers sitting outside coz I was feeding the mosquitoes on the balcony. I think the idea of turning a pawnshop into a bar/restaurant is cool, and I like the decor alot. But they really need to train their waitors/waitresses to accomodate customers be

Great venue for drinks.. great view of the tram going by..Food is over-priced.Fish and chips is good but for HKD180!?!??!
