We were in the neighbourhood & having just seen a review of this place we thought we'd try it out.I wasn't terribly hungry so I skipped the starter. My friend had the squid & chorizo starter. He assured me that, although the presentation was somewhat lacking (it looked like it had been dolloped onto the plate with a ladle), it was pleasant and tasty & the squid was nicely chargrilled and reasonably tender. As a main, I had half a roast chicken with corn on the cob and a few pieces of root vegeta
I wasn't terribly hungry so I skipped the starter. My friend had the squid & chorizo starter. He assured me that, although the presentation was somewhat lacking (it looked like it had been dolloped onto the plate with a ladle), it was pleasant and tasty & the squid was nicely chargrilled and reasonably tender. As a main, I had half a roast chicken with corn on the cob and a few pieces of root vegetable. The chicken was lovely - meaty, juicy and the skin was lovely and crunchy. The corn was delicious but the other vegetables were not terribly interesting. My friend had the Iberico pork, which was juicy, tender, succulent...and almost completely tasteless! Very strange... For dessert I had Key lime cheesecake with lime sorbet. The sorbet was nice but the cheesecake was absolutely leaden and didn't taste much of lime. I should have gone for the chocolate orange dome, which I was assured was very good, as my friend fended off my advances with a spoon!
The winelist was very offputting. Out of about 40 reds, there were 9 (just) under HK$500. This is ridiculous when there is so much good wine available at reasonable prices. And they charge a whopping HK$320 corkage. Ridiculous. We just had a glass of Shiraz & a glass of Merlot.
The food was adequate but it really is Just a Restaurant and I would not be in any hurry to go back.
