My wife and I tried this restaurant for dinner on the weekend recently. We were quite excited especially given how much hype this restaurant has received and how long it takes to get a reservation (which I discovered later is due to how few tables they have). Unfortunately, after trying two appetizers, two entrees and two desserts, my wife and I agreed that this was a huge let down and we really did not enjoy ourselves. A restaurant like this, to be honest, would not survive in New York (wher
Menu - very disappointing. Supposedly "tapas" but it definitely was not. Very small menu - maybe 8 - 10 items as appetizers + 8 - 10 pastas. No meat, no seafood, nothing. And definitely not many "tapas" as they like to claim. There is also a snacks selection part of the drinks menu which was fine but also very small. Definitely not what we expected at a supposedly decent restaurant
Food - also very disappointing. Appetizers were okay but definitely nothing special nor memorable. Pastas were terrible. Noodles were stuck together - just like the pasta I would make at home by myself when I was cooking for myself in college. Some noodles were undercooked b/c they were extremely chewy, almost crunchy. Cheese was clumped together which looked and tasted disgusting. My wife and I didn't finish our food b/c it was that bad.
(We actually just went to another restaurant afterwards to eat again since AMMO was quite bad)
Prices - not bad actually, quite reasonable. Much cheaper than what I had anticipated. Pastas maybe around $100 - 200. Appetizers around $80 - 150. Not unreasonable
Service - terrible. We had to ask several times for very basic items such as water, etc. Frankly, at a nice restaurant, we should not even have to ask! The waiter should monitor since that is his / her job. Also, the attitude was terrible - not friendly, very aloof, and really wanted to just write down food and move on. Definitely not the type of service we're used to and expect from a typical AVERAGE restaurant in New York. At the end, even to pay, nobody would come by to pick up my credit card. Waiters would clean up the table next to ours and despite waving my arms and saying "excuse me" several times, they still failed to acknowledge. I eventually walked up to the waiter and handed him the credit card directly. Again, this is not accepable for a restaurant that markets itself as being remotely "nice".
In conclusion, I would not recommend this restaurant to any of my friends since this would truly be a waste of time and money, In HK where there are many choices, I think you have many other better alternatives to choose from.
