十年難得一遇的強烈颱風「韋森特」肆虐香港,成為自1999年後首個令香港天文台懸掛十號風球的颱風。一夜狂風暴雨之後,雖然為普羅打工仔換來數小時的假期,但在八號風球除下之後,不少打工仔仍然需要盡快回到工作崗位上班,而在這一天,正在放假中的我與不用返回公司上班的老婆仔,幸運地不用匆匆忙忙地趕上班,還可以趁著這難得的機會,在平日享受一頓豐富的午餐。既是機會難逢,我於是決定致電到位於尖沙咀隆堡麗景酒店內的 AVA Restaurant Slash Bar 訂座,好把握這酒店現時仍在推廣的二人同行優惠,以三百元多一點的價錢,享用這兒的精選半自助餐。 這餐廳的地方雖不是太大,陳設佈置都算雅致舒適,坐得頗為舒服。來到的時候只是中午12時左右,也許一來是平日,二來又是颱風剛過未過的時候,不少人仍需上班打拼,所以在餐廳內用膳的客人並不多,而我們夫妻兩人,也可以被安排到一毗鄰落地玻璃窗的座位,可以欣賞到窗外尖沙咀、維多利亞港至對岸中環、灣仔一帶的景致。這天雖然因為三號風球仍然高懸的關係,天色難免晦暗一片,密雲濃罩,而且間中灑下陣陣驟雨,但能在這平日的日子,兩夫妻在這優雅的地方,居高臨下眺望維港,並且享用這兒
Was a pretty disappointing dinner for Friday night with the travel to TST after a long working day. The menu was really unsurprising and the taste and presentation of the dishes were just like a "HK-styled Western restaurant". We ordered mushroom ravioli, duo of beef and 2 side dishes (asparagus and chips). The duo of beef was ok (the braised beef with potato mash was tasty) but the ravioli was way too soggy . What we were least impressed was the service - we paid almost HKD500 each (after disco

Was a pretty disappointing dinner for Friday night with the travel to TST after a long working day.
The menu was really unsurprising and the taste and presentation of the dishes were just like a "HK-styled Western restaurant". We ordered mushroom ravioli, duo of beef and 2 side dishes (asparagus and chips). The duo of beef was ok (the braised beef with potato mash was tasty) but the ravioli was way too soggy .
What we were least impressed was the service - we paid almost HKD500 each (after discount) but it took them almost 20 minutes to deliver the dishes (and they missed my drink) and another 15 minutes for the bill to come.
Definitely not a place for romantic dinner (what a shame given the great view) - they have a "DJ" started playing pop music (loudly) from 10pm onwards, and the place (and the crowd) became like a lounge bar at a local TST hotel
