The environment and harbour view were really amazing, which should make your long walk to Ritz Carlton & the 102nd floor a more worthwhile journey. We were seated at a table next to the big windows facing HKCEC. But I had to admit that it was so hot throughout our meal.Interior decoration was very modern and pretty. This was the open kitchen. We both ordered 3 courses at a price of $508+10% and had pre-ordered a 1lb cake to share. It was quite a big top-up from 3 courses to 4 courses if you look

Bread basket & olive oil

A bread basket was served to us immediately. I was a bit disappointed that no one introduced the bread to us. The olive oil was made in Italy and was freshly squeezed something like that, as I was told.

This was the first bread I tried. It was very very crispy on the outside and was full of air in the interior. There were some water melon seed like seeds inside. 
Other bread was also good in general: crispy outside and soft inside for the one on the leftmost of the basket, the baquette like slice in the middle was too hard though, while the thin wrap at the back was super crispy too with seaweed. However, I would say that bread at other Michelin restaurants like Robuchon and Petrus offered even better bread and of more variety.

This vinegar was amazingly good. It was so sweet, just my cup of tea!

The mozzarella gelato tasted really good and was not overly fatty at all. It was a very appetizing Amuse bouche indeed.

Our first antipasti. The mackerel was raw. It was very refreshing and the whole thing went quite well together, tender fish and fresh!

This second antipasti was quite disappointing. The beef was too dry and rough, despite the added crispiness by the yellow rice slice, the rocket and cheese. I preferred the normal thinly sliced beef carpaccio in an appetizing sauce. It was not recommended.

When they took our order, they reminded us if we minded that the linguine would be cooked al denti. Of course not! The linguine was really al denti, although I think my hubby could cook them as well as the chef here 
. The sauce was quite refreshing but a bit salty towards the end. Portion was not tiny. However, I personally found the pasta at Ciak better!

This pasta was ok. The risotto was very chewy. There was some cheese in the sauce but it was not overly filling. The capicollo (pork neck) sucked, just super tiny pieces of ham. Portion was ok.

This one needed a top-up of $78+10%. The red snapper looked overcooked but was indeed quite smooth inside. The sweet corn puree tasted quite good. Overall, this one was ok but not particularly outstanding. It might not be worth the top-up.

This one sucked. The lamb was so rough. It offered a very mild flavour of lamb. I think we were told that there was green tea sauce or powder? but we couldn't taste any. 

Pistachio Pave (Layers of pistachio, milk chocolate and feuilletine)
We had preordered this cake to share. We were quite disappointed as there was no pistachio flavour at all despite seeing the green layers nor crispy texture despite the feuilletine. Just the super thin slice of chocolate on top was really crispy. 

Petit Fours (Cheese cake, olive chocolate, raspberry jelly)

Still the petit fours were quite surprising indeed. The cheese cake on the right had a really strong flavour of cheese, even slightly salty towards the end. The olive chocolate was nothing special. The raspberry jelly was ok refreshing. 

Coffee/tea was not included in the lunch set but we were so full already.

I would say I was slightly disappointed with the food overall because I had expected better food given the fame. I think the cost mostly went to the rent, interior decoration, the presentation and probably service rather than the taste. Anyway, maybe it was worth it to come once to try it out.
