I came here for lunch with a colleague last week. We got the "light" lunch set, which didn't turn out to be super-light after all, and a bucket of cajun fries to split. The light lunch included your choice of soup or salad, a main course, and coffee or tea, from $58-88, I believe. My friend and I both got the salad with wasabi vinaigrette dressing (one of three choices); she got a pasta with mussels and cream sauce, and I got the grilled vegetable penne with tomato sauce.

The light lunch included your choice of soup or salad, a main course, and coffee or tea, from $58-88, I believe. My friend and I both got the salad with wasabi vinaigrette dressing (one of three choices); she got a pasta with mussels and cream sauce, and I got the grilled vegetable penne with tomato sauce. Oh yes, and the cajun fries (I never met fries I didn't like!)
My favorite part of the meal was the salad. They served mixed greens with bits of spinach, frisee, and other good stuff. The wasabi vinaigrette was pretty genius; I was afraid the wasabi would overwhelm everything, but there was only a bit of a bite. The cajun fries
were quite good too; very hot and crispy. I would have liked more seasoning though! There were bits of red flakes on there, but I couldn't taste much. Even some more salt would have helped. Those ain't cajun, son!
The two pastas were simply okay. I think they're the HK-ified version of what Italian food tastes like. My penne with red sauce was easily something I could have made at home, but better. The cheese on top looked like it was melted in chunks and left to coagulate; the sauce itself didn't have much flavor. The grilled veggies were fine, but again, a little bit bland.
My friend's shells with cream sauce seemed like it sat too long in the window. I say this because the cream sauce was not much of a sauce, but rather like a hard casing once it got out to us.
The dining room was quite nice; it was bright and airy with vivid colors. Kinda reminded me of the Giraffe chain in London.
I would give this place a so-so rating and not get any pastas next time. The salads could be al right.
