They specialise in beef and lobster burgers, but also have whole lobsters and a delicious lobster roll, made with chunks of fresh lobster meat filled into a soft, hot, and buttery bun. You can never go wrong with fresh seafood, whether it's streamed prawns, raw oysters or these super delicious lobster rolls. We still prefer the one in the UK, the lobster seems more fresh there & the price here was NOT worth it.

Growing up in the US, we used to have seafood boils all the time, so imagine our delight when we…read morediscovered this place. You'll want to focus on the seafood here, although it should be noted that there are other menu items for people who don't enjoy seafood. A must-order item is the seafood boil, which (as you've probably guessed) is fresh seafood boiled with a blend of Cajun-style spices and then tossed with your choice of sauce. Each order requires a minimum of three kinds of seafood. We recommend the Dungeness crab, baby octopus and live crawfish with the "Mr. Crab Cajun Sauce" in medium spicy (we tried the mild before, but it didn't have enough of a kick to it). Service can be hit-or-miss depending on how busy the place is, and the air-conditioning can sometimes be on the cold side.

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.

Street Meat is a restaurant/ bar that serves NYC-styled fast food. The exterior design is like the…read moreentrance of a subway station in NYC. Inside the restaurant, there is a Prince Street station sign. The restaurant itself is quite a subtle one here on Wyndham Street. If you're just walking by, it's difficult to notice that it's actually a restaurant given its special design like a NYC subway station. Regardless, it reminds me of the good old days in NYC! The six of us ordered most of the dishes on the menu to share, including the wings, lamp wrap, ramen burger, chicken bowl, lobster roll, station sliders, grilled corn, ribbon fries and one of the specials, ox tongue soup. The recommended dishes are the wings, ramen burger, grilled corn and station sliders. For dessert, their macaroon ice cream is a must-have! As you can tell by the name, Street Meat is not quite a vegetarian-friendly restaurant. However, the chef custom-made a veggie kimchi ramen burger filled with bell peppers for my friend who's a vegetarian. Along with the fries and the corn, my friend was very satisfied. It seems like their cocktail menu is more interesting than their food. We all ordered different cocktails. However, what baffles me is that the drinks are quite expensive compared to the food. One cocktail is about double the price of a dish. I'm not quite sure if they want to distinguish themselves as a bar or a restaurant? The restaurant seems small as they only have a couple of seats surrounding the kitchen. However, there's a hidden bar at the back if you just want to come here for drinks! Follow the sign that says "staff only" and you'll enter into a whole new world.

Not able to resist, I had to figure out what this slice of NY was doing in HK. I was warmly greeted by the host who suggested I try their wagyu beef burger. I sat at the counter and watched the chef put all the fixins together. I liked that he didn't rush through cooking it and the result was fantastic! The bun was different than any I've tried on a burger and the meat was cooked perfectly. Could definitely compete with any burger from the Big Apple. I had to dock one star just for the amount of food for the price, but that could easily be corrected if they added one more side. Would highly recommend!

Replacing the Alba restaurant on the 10th floor of Cubus is Town, a bistro serving multi-cultural…read morecuisine with focus on lighter and healthier ingredients. The dining area is modern and clean, with hints of industrial touches. The windows overlook the buildings on the Lee Gardens side, and I imagine would be quite scenic when all lit up during the evening. Town offered a 3-course set lunch (ranging from $178 - $220): starter, main and dessert. For the starter, it was a choice between Anti-Pasti Buffet and Broccoli, Smoked Salmon and Yoghurt. We all opted for the former. The buffet table offered standard salad items ranging from leafy vegetables, cous cous, cold cuts and so on. Quite refreshing and definitely more controlled than a free-flow all-you-can-eat/order brunch. The bread basket was a warm and most breads used heavier dough, giving them the qualities of comfort food. Simple old goodness! We also ordered a bottle of Panna still water ($68), which is not pictured here. Next up were the mains. Iberico Pork Loin, Corn, Pancetta, Celery Root, Peas, Quince ($220/set) was a safe fail-proof choice; the cut was meaty and with a bit of bite, while the sides matched the sweetness from the pork loin. Our other main was Wagyu Beef Burger, Cheddar Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion Jam, Fries($198/set). Like the Iberico Pork, also a staple dish, but with a twist of red onion jam which complemented the heaviness of the patty quite well. Other than that, it can be described as a no-frills classic American burger. Another main that we ordered was Beef and Pork Bolognaise, Spagettini, Porcini Mushrooms ($188/set). Again like the burger, was a classic entry to the American diet. The twist was the use of Porcini mushrooms instead of the usual button mushrooms, giving the dish a bit more bite and character. The desserts were a choice between Strawberries with Mascarpone Cheese OR Upside-Down Pineapple Cake. The strawberries and mascarpone, I believe are a healthier option to the usual strawberries and cream. Those looking for a healthier fresh fruit option would appreciate this. The Upside-Down Pineapple Cake, in my opinion, tasted exactly like the classic Cantonese bakery favorite Coconut Tart (椰撻)! The pineapple added a layer of acidity to the tart, and elevated it above your local bakery tart. All in all, I appreciate the use of quality ingredients as I do the reinvention of classic dishes. I see a small step in the right direction, and do look forward to a bigger more adventurous leap for the menu. But then again, I have yet to sample the dinner menu, which may offer more interesting flavours and options versus the dependable (and rather unimaginative) lunch menu. Town is still a good choice for a straightforward meal with friends in a casual relaxed environment.

Seeing as we were all a little tired and hungry already, we decided not to wait to eat until after a taxi ride back down and settled in here.

Anyway, the food was not as expensive as I was expecting it to be for being at probably THE tourist spot in Hong Kong. And, the food was also pretty good. Usually I try to stay away from restaurants like these, but I would say that I was pleasantly surprised with our experience here!
