這日中午太座與她的大姊約食晏,經好友介紹選擇了這家店,只因中午不想食太重,原本諗著食半自助午餐的沙律和湯做晏,當中都不會有什麼特別東西可吃到,但估不到竟然半自助午餐都有風腿食。當天我主要都是食沙律和飲湯,沙律中我覺得最新鮮的是火箭菜,個人就特別喜愛它帶有半點苦澀味,入口清新,味道回甘,而另一美味食品就是藍芝士,味道濃郁,口感香軟。最大的驚喜是百多元的沙律加湯自助餐,竟然有風腿供應任食,而風腿味道甘香,還可以伴蜜瓜一齊食,美味甘香,清新咸鮮,其實全部沙律材料都非常新鮮,上述的只是幾款個人覺得最出色的。當天的湯是野菌濃湯,味道清淡而甜美,又充滿菇菌的濃香,口感稀杰合適,當中還食到一點點的菌微粒,食得出是用原材料打爛的正宗西式湯做法。我們三人只叫了一份主菜 - 牛排作為嚐試,牛排比想象中細件,但也算做到我們的要求五成熟,牛排表面淋上特制的香草蓉汁醬,清香可口,牛排本身牛味十足,入口鬆軟之餘又有彈性,口感不錯,另外伴碟的薯條也炸得非常香脆,入口外脆內軟,薯味香濃,可以感受到脆口之餘,又食到薯仔本身那種粉滑的口感。

Adding $40 you can get an entree of Grilled Rib Eye steak which is served with broccolli, carrots and bearnaise sauce. The price does sound very appealing since it's only $40 more. But I guess you get what you pay for. The beef was chewy and overly salted and doesn't taste fresh at all. It's like beef that has been marinated in sauce for too long. The slice was very thin and definitely did not satisfy my cravings for a good piece of meat. This is definitely a bad entree choice if I were to come again.

Then the lunch set came with a choice of tea or coffee. There were very limited choices for tea (earl grey, green tea) and only black coffee. I decided on having a cup of earl grey and it was brought to me with the tea bag and a cup of hot water. This made me feel like I was in a very cheap hk cafe that serves bad food. The water was also not very hot as well.

Common room has a very nice ambiance, but the quality of the food served at lunch totally did not live up to the restaurant. Their lunch menu definitely needs to add some new elements in order to compete with all the surrounding competitions.

When Common Room first opened, I was swept off my feet by its mouthwatering snacks, dangerously delicious cocktails and comfortable, laid-back decor. It has been a while since the gastropub opened in 2013, and a new selection of snacks and drinks have now appeared on its menu.

(1) I ordered a glass of Mandarin Stud ($115), a drink to celebrate the upcoming Year of the Horse, as "stud" means a group of high-quality horses. This drink, made with vodka, mandarin, lemon juice, raspberry muddle and raw egg, had an utterly refreshing mandarin fragrance, and a good alcoholic kick too.

(2) The Sweet Potato Fries ($58) never fail to cheer me up - their soft, powdery texture, crunchy surface and natural sweetness were deeply comforting. I found the potato fries that night a tad irregularly shaped, not that it affected the taste in any way.

(3) The boys behind the Privé Group are not only party animals, they certainly love their food too, and many of Common Room's new dishes have been inspired by their recent international travels. The Pulled Pork Poutine ($98) was as good as what you would find in Canada or the USA! The sauce, a mixture of melted cheddar cheese and BBQ sauce, was explosively flavourful yet not overly greasy, and the pork had an impressive smokiness.

(4) The Portobello Mushroom Sliders ($98) were as delicious as any beef burger, minus the meat. The deep-fried portobello mushrooms were exquisitely juicy, and the Gruyère cheese, caramelised onions and avocado made it extra enjoyable.

(6) Not many restaurants in Hong Kong serve lobster rolls, so I knew that the Madison Lobster Roll ($138) was a must-order for me, and I was not disapppointed! There was a generous amount of lobster meat in the roll, and the paprika and lemon juice accentuated the lobster's irresistable flavours. I appreciated how there wasn't too much dressing to drown out the lobster, and the lightly buttered bun was fluffy and delicious.

(7) The Lovebird Tacos ($110) were a February special for Valentine's Day. The maple grazed duck breast was flavourful and smoky, and the avocado was ripe and creamy. I personally might have preferred tortillas to taco chips though!

(8) Even though this entertainment group is mainly run by men, they do know how to create drinks and desserts to please the ladies. This Bailey's & Coffee Cheese Cake will make a girl squeal in joy - the Bailey's and coffee flavours were perfectly balanced and worked surprisingly well in a cheese cake. It was sheer deliciousness!

I was pleased with the new dishes on Common Room's menu. Sometimes the service here may be slow, but with such reasonably priced, scrumptious food, this gastropub remains a gem in LKF.

At school, I have always been curious of the Teachers room, the only room that pupils could not enter so when we got our common room it felt really special.
It was a place just for 5th year pupils at secondary school.
Whilst it was exciting progressing on to the 5th year, at the same time I was dreading it because it was the last year of school before heading off to college and not everyone attends college so you don't see them anymore.

Thanks to JJ for inviting me to The Common Room which reminded me of school.

It was a lovely gathering environment for drinks and food.
The small twisting flight of stairs at the entrance was interesting.

For drinks I had the AIRMAIL which had Aged rum, honey, fresh lime juice, champagne and orange flower water.
The name AIRMAIL was so classic because these days people don't send letters and with the internet you don't need to send airmail.
When it arrived, there was folded paper plane on the drink which really represented the cocktail.
The drink was nice and strong to start you off in party mood!

The drink was gorgeous sipping it slowly having the foamy milk contrasted by the warm drink at the bottom.
It had tones of mint and cinnamon bringing you a lovely season of Christmas!

Lastly I must talk about the "kiss from a rose". It consists of Vodka, Lychee Liquer, Fresh Lychee, and Lemon juice. But the best part was the rose foam floating ontop of the drink. Sweet and fragrant, this drink will definitely be popular amongst girls.

Common Room 是我一直欲嘗試的餐廳,無論是對其所提供的雞尾酒、食物與及環境,都有著相當的憧憬,於是預早幾天訂檯,選在 Happy Friday 的日子裡,讓自己好好體驗一番。步上樓梯,Common Room 大致將室內分割成左右兩邊,左邊是酒吧,而右邊就是用餐區,最末端同屬於用餐區的範圍。就裝潢而論,沒多大的特別之處,與一般中環的餐廳無異。抵達時才晚上7時多,酒吧不算太熱鬧,但大概一小時後,人潮開始擁至,大多是外籍人士與用英語交談的香港人。老公和我也是愛熱鬧的人,可是酒吧與我們的細小餐檯只相隔一條通道,站在酒吧的客人基本是佔據了該通道,這樣的用餐環境未免過於親密了吧,相信設計較體貼的餐廳,會讓酒吧與用餐區有適當的分隔距離。我們餐檯後的區域明顯較為適合,可惜全被設成容納大伙兒的餐檯。老公不用多考慮,便選擇了 Guiness Draught。我則對於 Common Room 的雞尾酒帶有期盼,而餐牌上雞尾酒的款式不但繁多,亦有一系列 Mixology 的選擇,可是當我逐一篩選時,外藉女侍應已不下兩次催促,當然我不予理會,只是禮貌地打發她,但最後一次她還將我的 Mixology 餐

最終我選了名為 It's Peachy 的雞尾酒,淺黃的色澤是混合了 Vodka、Peach Liqueur、Fresh Lemon Juice 和 Homemade Peach Syrup,面層配上白色的蛋白泡沫,中間四方形透明的是一冰塊,再襯上橙黃色的桃肉裝飾,感覺還不錯。

細嚐了幾口,酒的份量還可以,甜度恰好,但 Peach 的味道則不夠明顯,與主題有著落差,味道只屬一般!

Tandoori Chicken 吃得多,尤愛它烤得焦香與獨特印度香料的風韻,那 Tandoori Octopus 味道又會如何?

這道 Tandoori Octopus 底層由一塊薯片承托,跟著放上鮮芒果片,中層是 Tandoori Octopus,頂層則放上由 Yoghurt 和香料製成的醬汁。入口醬汁的酸味尤為突出,其次是 Octopus 柔軟、彈性十足的肉質。可是無論如何,我們兩人均感受不到絲毫 Tandoori 的韻味。由賣點轉化成了弱點,令人失望!

一咬,肉汁隨即飛濺,露出粉紅的牛肉,擁有這樣澎湃肉汁的才算得上是令人回味的漢堡。牛肉雖好,但 Foie Gras 彷彿只聞其味,未能嚐到其質。其實除了香氣,Foie Gras 最引人入勝的就是外脆肉軟、入口即溶的口感,可惜 Foie Gras 彷彿自然流失了,此乃至關重要,且未能達至完美的敗筆。

而 Porcini Mushroom Farfalle 醬汁很暢滑,牛肝菌香氣亦甚豐濃,加上 Farfalle 嚼勁恰好,整體要比 Arrabiatta Penne 出色多,可是此食味一般意大利餐廳亦能及上,不見其獨突之處。

經過是次的嘗試,Common Room 在心目中與真實的印象有著相當大距離的差別,原來一向認定極為特別的Common Room,其實只是平平無奇.............只好慨嘆一句,It's truly Common!

題外話/補充資料: 老公的同事也曾到過 Common Room,原來他跟我一樣也不喜歡其 Service,相信 Common Room 有必要要就女侍應的服務態度重新評估。

The venue is brightly lit (during happy hour) and then dims down nearer the later part of the evening to fit in with the mood.

ses varying textures and tastes that simply work well together. The octopus is tender and complements the "crunch" the taco piece at the bottom provides. The spices used along with the mango and cucumber yogurt creates an interesting taste that you will well remember.

We tried something new this time, figs with Goat Cheese. The figs were fresh and sweet, the cheese soft and pungent. Would definitely order this dish again.

The macaroni & cheese is a usual favourite for others, but if you fear foods that are too creamy, perhaps sticking to a couple of spoonfulls will suffice.

I am not a chocolate fan but I definitely had my share of the molten chocolate pudding. Moist, not too sweet and with a very rich chocolate flavour, it would pass many chocolate skeptics' test.

Price wise, it is definitely not cheap. Common Room does not have happy hour prices but as a whole for atmosphere, good food, good drinks it definitely possesses all these for a well-rounded fun evening.

*******************Environment / Surrounding********************

I've been here many times for after dinner drinks, and I've always felt comfortable at Common Room. Make no mistake, there is nothing common about its design that makes it comfortable, but rather the deco has a lot of wood with a mixture of black and glass design. This place is 4,000 square feet with a rustic industrial chic gastrobar featureing a 31 feet long mixology glass and cast iron liquor library.

Coming here for dinner was slightly different. The lighting is much brighter and you really get to feel comfortable the moment you step in. It's neither extremely fancy or too casual and it gives a feeling that this is a place that people where people would enjoy sitting around. Kind of like a 'common room' in the school days.

The area is quite big with a very long bar table on the left of the restaurant, and communual wooden tables that fill out the rest of the area. 

Rating: 8/10
**************************Food******************************
Rating Scale from 1-5
I realise I am quite harsh on these, but for something to reach a 5 it has to be absolutely perfect. A 5 means la crème de la crème of its type and category; my point of view is that there is no such thing as perfect in texture, taste, presentation, smell etc and a 5 is virtually impossible.
0-1: Horrific, inedible
1-2: Will not order it again, and it's below average
2-3: Average joe food. Many places can replicate or make this.
3-4: Quite good and tasty. The higher end of 3 represents that the dish is identifiable to the restaurant and has its own distinctive taste and I will consider ordering again.
4-4.9: Very very tasty and the flavours of the dish is unique to the restaurant. In particular in the mid to higher ends to the 4, the food is almost proprietor-level good.
5: Pure bliss and so perfect that it's inexpressible.

As one can see, its a scrumptious world-inspired menu that will be served tapas style. There are all sorts of classic food with their own added flavour. Menus marked with the Common room Logo 'CR', are labeled as Common Room Favs.

The drink menu is also comprehensive with many classic and contemporary cocktails. This iron liquor library also has a good list of wine (we had 2011 Cloudy bay Pinot Noir which isn't very common in HK) and whiskey (with whiskey from all over the world including Chivas 38 years, Yoishi 15 years etc.)

On with the food!

The pate really delivered in that it was full of rich flavors and it was the perfect texture to spread on the homemade crostinis, which was also well made.  

The jar of pate is quite large, so expect to be very full from this. 

Tapas 2: Classic Mac + Cheese (3.9/5)

Mac and cheese is so common and made easily, yet there is such a huge variation in the quality of a true mac and cheese. To me, mac and cheese doesn't neccessarily have to be fancy; it just has to really really good.

The mac and cheese served here used several types of cheese: Gruyere, Parmesan, and Gouda, topping it off with a large Buffalo Mozerlla cheese in the middle. The mixture of cheese gave a rich, and not overly thick flavour and texture of cheese that will make your tongue wanting for more. Especially if you're a Buffalo mozerlla lover, the chunk in the middle balances out the heavy flavours of the mixture with a light spongy touch. 
Another wonderful addition are the bread crumbs on top of the dish which gives a crunch and texture to the smooth creamy dish. I wouldn't exactly call this 'classic' way of making mac and cheese given the cheese choices, but it isn't overly fancy and they made it just right.

This is a dish I would order again, without a doubt. 

Tapas 3: Steak Tartare served on homemade crisps (3.6/5)

The steak tartare was seasoned with mustard, vinegar, pepper, and topped with a raw egg on top which came with hommade crisps shaped like waffles. The presentation was simple but striking due to the combination of colours on the plate. 

The steak was very flavourful with an oozing amount of mustard and a touch of vinegar to cover enhance (and cover) the raw taste of the steak. It was a good mixture of flavours because the vinegar really brought out the flavours of the meat. There was nothing extraodinary about the steak tartare and some parts of the meat was too chewy to the point I couldn't swallow them.  

The homemade crisps were very thin almost like the waffle chips you can buy in the supermarket. They also don't make you feel like you're eating a drench of oil which was fantastic. However, after eating a few more of these, you will feel the 'heat' or 'fire' (热气) in the mouth.

The combination of the two together is both a hit and a miss, in my opinion. In terms of adding texture, I find the crisp to be the perfect complement, but it also misses in the flavour department. When I ate the dish, I wasn't quite sure if I should be eating them together or not.

Tapas 4&5: Lobster Risotto, Lobster Linguini (3.4/5)

The lobster risotto dominated its presentation with the big lobster head served on top its risotto. The dish was served with lobster chunks, cream, garlic and white wine as the basis of the sauce. The al dente risotto and the lobster chunks were quite good. However, aside from the lobster chunks, there wasn't too much lobster flavour anywhere else.

I also tried the lobster linguini which was served with spicy vegetables in a tomato based sauce. Turns out, the linguini was much spicier than we expected. The linguini was also al dente and the lobster was separately served unlike the risotto which had the lobster chunks mixed in the pasta.

Unless you are craving for lobster dishes, I wouldn't order these specifically as there are many many more delectable dishes on the menu.

Tapas 6: Grilled Shrimp Poutine (4/5)

The grliled shrimp poutine is one to be remembered at Common Room. Forget about the cocktails, and the vast iron cast library. The shrimp poutine is gook looking, mouth watering and irresistable.

Before I tasted the dish, I had assumed that only the top layer will have cheese and I would have to spread out the shrimp in small pieces so that I will have flavour to get through the stack of fries. Turns out, the phrase 'don't judge the book by its cover' applies.

The shrimp is sauteed to perfection, and it was marinated very simply.The shrimp tasted extremely fresh and the meat remained crisp.
Layered beneath the shrimp lies melted cheddar cheese and truffle sauce and stacks of french fries. This wonderful poutine was full of shrimp flavour through all of the fries because the sauce itself tasted like shrimp! Mixed in with cheddar cheese and a hint of truffle the sauce was made to perfection. As the sauce was thick, the fries remained crisp even after some time (well, it's also possible that we finished it so quickly that there was no chance for the fries to get soggy).

This dish is unique and when I revisit this restaurant, it would be the first thing I would order even before I get seated.

Tapas 7: Wagyu Foie Gras Burgers (3.7/5)

The Wagyu foie gras burger also comes with carmelised onions, arugula and balsamic reduction (on the foie gras).

The flavours were blissfully sweet (from the foie gras balsamic glazing and the carmelised onions), and guilty oily (from the wagyu fat and the foie gras oil). It tasted like I expected, and it's executed very well. 

There are other places that serves this as well, hence the slight knock on the ratings. I would respectfully order this again nonetheless!

**************************Service******************************

The overall service varies from waiter to waiter. We were seated immediately upon arrival, and we were served with drinks quickly. Most of the staff was friendly but not extremely informative in terms of their food offerings. They knew what the food entails but not all staffs were clear on how it was cooked. 

However, there was one particular staff that was extremely rude, even to the point of insulting the dinner guests. To give an abridged anecdote, one of the dinner guests asked whether if it was a good idea to add the Wagyu Foie Gras Burger, with which the staff replied you're too fat for it (in a condescending tone). Throughout, this staff served us several times during the dinner and each time she came in with an attitude.

In the end, this is not a fine-dine restaurant, and perhaps I was expecting too much because the food was excellent. Yet, the one particular staff made the meal quite unpleasant. 


***************************Conclusion**************************
This is not only a great hang out place at night, but it is also a great place to have delectable favorite classic foods that's done right. Things are in small portions which allows you to eat a variety of things.

From the wonderful mac and cheese to the memorable shrimp poutine, this is a place to remember. However, for the noisy environment and the non-fine dining set up, you're really only paying for the food and the selection of cocktails. 

I would recommend this restaurant for anyone, in particular for those who plan to have drinks after a good meal!

We went here for happy hour on a wednesday night, and ordered two of its special drinks, Kiss from a rose and Hokkaido sake cocktail, and mini burgers. I would recommend Kiss from a Rose as you can see the pink foam is beautifully done and tastes very sweet to complement the base. As for the sake cocktail, it tasted like just like a moquito for me but priced way too much for one. The fois gras burger was done well afterall.

至於水果方面, 西瓜, 蜜瓜, 以及哈蜜瓜都是有水準的, 清甜消暑, 特別喜歡多汁的西瓜, 真是多吃幾件也無妨. 當然, 哈蜜瓜的好朋友一定是巴馬火腿, 這裡供應的, 帶點鹹香, 肉質不俗, 不會太實, 也是令人滿意的.

整體來講, 這裡的午餐是幾抵食的, $138就能夠吃到款式齊全, 新鮮而有水準的antipasti semi-buffet. 如果有食力的朋友, 加$40就能夠吃到一客主菜, 如我們是日吃的肉眼扒也是令人滿意的. 服務方面, 店員態度友善, 收碟速度也幾快. 加上這裡的環境實在不俗, 在這裡吃一個優質的午餐才再繼續下午的工作, 實是為自己加力的好方法.

The brainchild of the ever expanding Prive Group-who already helms popular night clubs Prive, the wildly successful Levels in Lan Kwai Fang, as well as Chocolate and Japanese dining haven Masu. Now they’re adding another drinks/bar/gastropub to their already very impressive resume. Common Room has been getting a ton of buzz recently.
There’s nothing ‘Common‘ about this Room… once you go in, it’s hard not to want to go back. They’re known for their drinks. With the top cocktail mixologists serving guests the perfect beverage. It’s a classic, sleek, swank and sophisticated gastrobar and (wait for it) eatery hidden behind one of the main streets in LKF. The decor is simple, luxurious and comfortable. Encased in a chic 4,000 square feet area… Common Room’ refers to a place where friends can gather and unwind with good drinks, good food, and good company and this place does exactly that.

This gastrobar is located on Wo On Lane where Casa Lounge used to be, and only soft-opened on 12 April 2013, with its grand opening due to happen in a few weeks' time. Common Room has a stylish yet subtly luxurious decor - the use of wooden surfaces complements its cosy set-up, and there is a small outdoor terrace which is uniquely decorated with reclaimed ship wood.

As its name "Common Room" suggests, this place is a destination to relax and mingle with your friends, so there are communal tables in the dining area and all the tapas on the menu are in a sharing style. Besides their enticing selection of international tapas, you should also look out for their funky molecular drinks, meticulously prepared by the gastrobar's three top mixologists.

(1) Knowing how much I loved a rose ice cream that I recently had at another restaurant, my friend suggested that I try the Kiss from a Rose ($105), a pretty cocktail which was topped with some homemade rose foam and elegantly decorated with a rose petal. Whatever funky molecular technique was used, it obviously worked as the foam, which had a consistency similar to that of beaten egg white, tasted incredibly rosy! The cocktail was made with vodka, lychee liqueur, fresh lychee and a dash of lemon juice, and the alluring sweetness and fruitiness of it worked like magic for me.

(2) Our first dish, Sweet Potato Fries ($58), set the bar high for our meal. Made with sweet potatoes, the fries were enticingly sweet, and the surface was beautifully light and crispy. Served with some homemade chipotle buttermilk aioli, this dish was an instant addiction.

(3) I have never tried Tandoori Octopus ($115) before, but after my first bite it was already in my good books. The tandoori had a gorgeously firm and smooth texture, and the touch of sumac gave it a kick. It was served with mango and some fresh raita on a piece of tostada.

(4) The tapas at this gastrobar were meant to be shared, but I wasn't sure at all that I wanted to share the Wagyu Foie Gras Burgers ($98). The burger patty was juicy, and there was a very decent chunk of foie gras in it - not bad for $98! A drizzle of balsamic reduction added a hint of sourness to cut through the fattiness of the burger.

(5) Rustically presented on a wooden antipasti board, the Chicken Liver and Foie Gras Pate ($128) was a mellow and delightful dish. The pate had a good flavour, which was spiked by some peppercorn and brandy.

(6) The Classic Mac + Cheese ($98) was exactly how I wanted it to be. Daringly garlicky, the mac and cheese was also superbly cheesy - buffalo mozzarella, gruyere, parmesan and gouda were used to make this little bowl of goodness, and it was topped with bread crumbs which added an element of crunch. Don't even think about ordering this if you don't love cheese!

Having sampled a cocktail and a few tapas at this new baby in Central, I was impressed both by the playfulness and creativity of the menu and by the kitchen's faultless execution of it. Seeing how this is a sleek, charming venue that serves a selection of mouthwatering food, my biggest concern right now is that it will soon get as packed as Levels on a Saturday night!
