I very rarely get a steak in HK so the bar is set pretty high experience wise. I came for my…read morebirthday and I wasn't disappointed with the filet I got. A few places I've been in Asia usually aren't willing to cook a steak or anything else for that matter, than medium. While I was afraid that it would be the case here I was glad to hear my call for medium rare, then just 'rare' was taken without a blink. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender, moist and even though they brought out a few sauces but honestly they're not needed. While steak is obviously the centerpiece of a good steak house, the sides shouldn't be neglected. The creamed spinach was really good. I'd definitely recommend it and I usually don't like creamed vegetables.

My impression of this dish is like a salad. The sauce tastes like lemon and yet on the sweet side. That probably gives me a sense of salad feel dish, especially it's a cold dish. Sauté Mushrooms (score:5/5) Although this is a simple dish, the taste is extraordinary! I could not stop from having more. Rib Eye Steak (score:4/5) This dish was too big for one person. I guess it's rare to say that in Hong Kong. But it's really big. The steak was asked to cook in medium and the chef has done the job aright! The meat was tendered and the middle was pink. A nice restaurant to dine at.

Food here is Western Cuisine, with a very very slight touch of Hong Kong Western influence. Oops, correct me they do have a few fusion influence dishes e.g. Tofu Custard En Croûte, by the way was very creative and it actually worked! My last visit, I ordered Wagyu Ox Tail in Red Wine Sauce and it was outstanding! The meat is done to perfection without being dry and still had the bounciness and collagen intact! Overall, this is a great location to gather when you have a larger party as they do have a separate room to accommodate, parking is right outside of the restaurant and during off office hours, you can also park at the parking lot in the next building.

The property features multiple ceremony and cocktail party locations, each with its own charm. There are ocean views and ceremonial lawn. An elegantly landscaped stairway adorned with climbing plants leads past a tranquil koi pond, featuring turtles and a gentle waterfall. There's also a courtyard where local artisans setup carts of their arts and crafts for the holidays. It feels festive when it is decked up for Christmas with drizzles of machine-made snow. There are many boutique shops and restaurants for guests to explore between events. The flower shop alone is worth visiting -- their arrangements are exquisite. The amazing band at the Verandah seems to be able to improvise songs that guests request at random. The most entertaining thing at my cousin's wedding was him singing with their accompaniment. As for the food, it was okay. The Lobster Bisque was the best thing for the night of my cousin's wedding. I am not sure if I would enjoying eating at The Verandah had it not been my cousin's wedding. The Repulse Bay though is worth a visit, for there is many things to see and do if you are tired of the city.

Delicious sangria by the pitcher - full or half - with over 30 flavours sure to please. Some notables are the lychee, chocolate, and piña colada. I've also really enjoyed their Hot Ginger martini. Great for a cooler evening when the wind is blowing. Speaking of wind, ask for a shawl if you're cool. They're on the 18th floor, and it does get breezy up there, so take advantage of the house-provided scarves to keep the chill at bay. Prices can be a bit high and on evenings to sit outside there is a minimum $180/head drink order. Still, it's not hard to spend that, and I'd say it's worth it.

I wrote a lot in my check-in here recently and must say how thoroughly disappointed I am by their…read morenew "laws" on minimum spend. So: $180 for bar and $300 something for food, per person. If you order food at bar, that doesn't count towards your $180 minimum spend. Now, I never thought I was a cheap person but when I'm being told that I can't sit outside in a free low dinner table because I opted for the "bar" table minimum spend, that makes me a little angry. Especially when it was violently windy and almost impossible to sit on the bar tables facing the harbour. I Went here with my friends because we had a friend visiting Hong Kong for a few days and I thought it would be a nice relaxed evening admiring the view and drinking sangria. Yeah we covered the minimum charge but it was thoroughly annoying to be told in an offhand remark, as I ordered a snack of croquettes, that those croquettes would "not be covered in your minimum spend". How am I meant to enjoy my night when I'm being reminded about money? We literally had to calculate whether or not our two jugs of sangria, 7 shots of tequila and own personal drinks covered the minimum spend. Also I noticed they upped the price of their sangria jugs. They used to be max $300 now they're around $480+ and you still only get a meagre 8 short cups. The croquettes were fine, overpriced sticks of gooey crumbed cheese. We hated the vibe so after achieving our minimum charge (LOL) we went for KBBQ just down the road. Not returning anytime soon.

This place was pretty fancy for lunch, but of course it's all about the location, location, location. It's a very intimate and provides its guest with enough room to have a private conversation. We started out with the Spanish tortilla omelette. Which was perfectly cooked. The Omelette had a lot of flavors and is best enjoyed hot. We also go the crispy suckling pig, which was huge. It's hard to share this with two people, might be best to share it with 3 or 4 people. Now comes the dish of the century, yes i said century! The Hokkaido Sea Urchin tagliolini. This dish was out of this world! It wasn't too heavy and had to perfect amount of sauce and uni to make it such an addicting dish. We ended up getting two of this because we regretted sharing the dish. Most uni dishes I've had in the states were either too heavy or were too bland, but this was just truly amazing! If only I can grab it to-go and bring it with me on my flight back. For dessert they had the caramelized apple tarte tatin. It was a little on the sweet side, so we weren't able to finish it. But adding the vanilla ice cream made it better. Overall,I would return to this place, but next time, i'm going to order at least three plates of the Hokkiado Sea Urchin Tagliolini, or MORE!

If it's too busy you can have a drink and wait on the tiered steps outside of the restaurant. They offer tapas style small dishes or heartier entrees. We ordered: Marinated pear salad(Fresh pears marinated in clementine sauce with hearts of palm, togarashi and green leaves): This was actually quite refreshing and light. The pears went well with the clementine sauce and spicy togarashi. Portobello Skewers (With red bell pepper chimichurri sauce): The beefy flavor of the portabello went well with the chimichurri sauce. Beef Skewers (With farofa) : Beef was tender and farofa (cassava flour) sprinkled on the dish made for good dipping which enhanced the beef flavor. Jaba com jerimum (Brazilian jerk beef with pumpkin, butter fried onions and sweet peppers): I've always loved jerk beef and this was really good with the onions and sweet peppers. Coxinhas de frango (Deep fried dumplings filled with chicken and okra): Normally I'm not a fan of okra, sometimes it can be slimy but these went well with the chicken. Perfectly fried teardrop shapes of happiness. I also ordered their Paulista cocktail (Sake, Aperol, lychee and pink berries pepper shrub): It was refreshing and not too sweet. It was definitely an enjoyable dinner, I wouldn't call this place "intimate" so you can have a private conversation but the lively atmosphere and amazing food made this a restaurant I want to come back to again and again.

We were starving and so decided to walk-in without checking out their reviews. At 7:30 pm, this place was empty with 3 tables occupied. The four of us were seated right away. Brazilian Japanese Street food was a first-time cuisine experience for me, so I was excited to try out the different flavors. Their entire menu is for sharing, so we ordered a few appetizers and mains which included Ceviche Guayas ($175), Ceviche Nikkei ($175), Banana doce ($90), Porco crocante ($95), some skewers which included Octopus ($115), Beef ($115), Chicken ($95), Tuna ($115), and 2 large plates which included Robalo assado em folha de bananeira ($290), and Lombinho de porco ($250). We also ordered the Classic Caipirinha's ($95) for drinks. The drinks, food, and service were absolutely spot on. The food was very delicious with Tuna skewers being the most amazing, and the Lombinho de proco was out of this world. Our only issue with this place is that it's just too expensive. It cost us in excess of $2600 for that night... maybe that explained why the place was still not that busy when we left at around 9 pm.

Food: 4 stars Environment/service: 4 stars Value: 3 stars Recommendations: organic vegetables, white clam linguini The pasta here is what to get and in my opinion is better than the pizza. The pizza is cooked in a cast iron pan, which gives you a nice crispy crust. I prefer the wood fire oven cooling style and a more chewy crust. The pricing is on the high side but is in line with Hong Kong. I would expect to pay between 200-250 hkd per person. If ordering the more high end proteins then it will be more.

His assistant Alistair had e mailed back and forth and organized the perfect menu per her taste. She loved the roasted cauliflower salad, the gnocchi with truffles and her special grilled scallops with no caviar.
