Have heard a lot of good things about this place, thus wanted to try it out.
It's located at the dead end of Ship Street where it's very quiet. The ambiance is very cosy and relaxing. The decor is quite rustic but comfortable.
They don't have a full bar, offer beer and a limited selection of champagne, red and white wines. That's fine because the corkage is only HK$ 100 per bottle so quite inexpensive.
The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, but not overly friendly.
The menu is small but looks inviting. We went for 3 appetizers including spinach with crabmeat, scallops and prawns, Petite Fish & Chips. The spinach was fresh, same as for the crabmeat. The dressing was a little bland, but this appetizer was still the best from what we ordered.
The batter of the Fish was crispy but too thick and not very tasty. The tartar sauce was more on the sweet side which is totally new to me. The best part of this dish were the chips, done really well.
Prawns and Scallops were cooked nicely, there was a little bit of salad with a bland dressing.
Our two mains were the pork chop and the beef cheek and veal liver in filo pastry. The portions are very generous, the pork chop was huge, it would have been difficult to finish it alone. It was cooked okay, meet was juicy. But again, really not special. The fried iberico ham was very salty.
Most disappointing was the beef cheek and veal liver. It was cooked all right but the taste was quite sweet, not savory at all. Apparently they use a lot of A1 sauce to cook.
We didn't bother for dessert. We will surely not come back! read more
