We tried there Lunch Menu during HK Restaurant Week.ServiceGreeted by the receptionist whom took us to our table. Once we sat down, we were presented with the menus, but no introduction nor explanation of the menu was given to us. The only (initial) interaction we had with the servers were them asking whether we wanted still or sparkling water. No recommendation was given to us when we ordered our food. No wine pairing recommendation was offered neither. It felt like we were in a cheap restauran
Service
Greeted by the receptionist whom took us to our table. Once we sat down, we were presented with the menus, but no introduction nor explanation of the menu was given to us. The only (initial) interaction we had with the servers were them asking whether we wanted still or sparkling water.
No recommendation was given to us when we ordered our food. No wine pairing recommendation was offered neither. It felt like we were in a cheap restaurant.
During the service, servers put down the food and left the table. There was no interaction. They did not give us an introduction to the food - how it was made, where the ingredients were from, how to best enjoy the dish, etc. None of those existed. Again, it felt like we were at a cheap local restaurant.
Overall, the service was not good at all - not for a high end restaurant anyways. It is surprising and unbelievable that this restaurant was opened by Wolfgang Zweiner whom claimed himself had been a Head Waiter at a New York restaurant for 40 years.
It was a disappointment.
Decor
The restaurant was very spacious and the decor is what you would expect of of a proper steakhouse. However, as we looked up the ceiling we noticed large mouldy patches coming out from the vents and large water patches (probably due to leaking) on the ceiling. Definitely deteriorated our appetite.
Just hope they do not put you at a table directly under these patches.
Taste
We ordered the following: Soup of the Day (Wild Mushroom Soup with Truffle Oil. You guessed it. We had to call the server back to ask what he had just served us), Crab Cake, Dry-Aged Beef Sandwich, Grilled Seabass with Tomato Salsa, Dessert of the Day (Creme Brûlée. Again, we weren't told what it was).
Everything tasted bland. We had to add quite a bit of salt to get the taste out of it.
Mushroom soup - Strong taste of mushroom, which was great. But it was very bland.
Crab Cake - It was average. Nothing extraordinary
Dry-Aged Beef Sandwich - The meat was well cooked for the sandwich. It is probably one of the better dish we had. I am not surprised as we are in a steakhouse, beef should be their forte. But were we wowed by it? Definitely not!
Seabass - The fish was dry and bland. The salsa didn't taste like salsa.
Creme Brûlée - The top layer of caramelised sugar was very hard to break. The custard itself was too thick a hard to our liking
Overall
Our experience was mediocre at best. We did not feel like we went to a high end restaurant. Service we received was more like local mid-tier type of restaurant at best. The look and feel of the restaurant was what you'd expect from a proper steakhouse. Just do not look at the ceiling then you will be fine. The food was not great for our visit to the restaurant. Perhaps that is because we did not have any steak. Hopefully the steak would be able to keep their customers happy.
Unfortunately, we would not recommend this place to any of our friends. You are better off spending that money elsewhere where you will get proper service and food.
