Sorry that I do not know how to input Chinese characters. Just came back from Spain and was trying to have some decent food and good atmosphere for a celebration dinner. The restaurant is located right on the top floor of the Star Ferry (in the Central). The entrance was horrible because it is located at one end of the pier and there was only one single (probably a 50W light bulb) lantern in a 'tunnel' that leads to the entrance of the restaurant. I suppose it would be nice for a Halloween night
Just came back from Spain and was trying to have some decent food and good atmosphere for a celebration dinner. The restaurant is located right on the top floor of the Star Ferry (in the Central). The entrance was horrible because it is located at one end of the pier and there was only one single (probably a 50W light bulb) lantern in a 'tunnel' that leads to the entrance of the restaurant. I suppose it would be nice for a Halloween night but not quite for a Friday evening. We have made a reservation but the waitress had reserved our table with a different name. The restaurant is so poorly designed that although there is an open view you can hardly enjoy the beautiful view of the Kowloon side. One of the characteristic is that you can really feel the ferry coming into the pier because you can feel the 'wobbly' moment. The aircons are even worst! No matter where you sit the 'strong' wind is always blowing to your forehead and/or to the back of your neck. Every table cloth was always flowing, if not flying. We have asked for many times to tune down the power of the wind. The answers were yes, OK, BUT nothing was done. One can hardly enjoy a meal with strong winds blowing right into one's face. The price is no doubt similar to that of a 4-5* hotel restaurant but the quality and the service were far from it. I have ordered a set dinner with a salad and a soup. The salad was ok with a typical caser salad like dressing. The soup was a bit salty but it went alright with the bread. Unfortunately, long before I finished my soup my main meal was sitting in front of me waiting for my consumption. My main dish was a piece of duck breast and a slice of foie gras. The taste of the food was ok but not really that brilliant. Maybe it’s my fault that I am not used to food of too rich a taste. The dessert was a cube of chocolate cake and it went well with the coffee. We have also ordered a seafood platter (for 4). The oysters were great especially the Irish one but the whelks and clams that I had were full of sand. Overall, I would say the service was OK but the restaurant is well below my expectation. The men's restroom was incredible! Water was probably overflowing from a faulty toilet and forming a stream on the floor. A plastic sign was erected so you have been warned and you better not wash your hand risking your life stepping over the sign! I am afraid to say that it’s difficult to believe that this is a restaurant recommended by the Cafe Deco Group. I don't think I will go to this restaurant again. Once is more than enough.
