We managed to get a good seat inside and it is a good environment for catching up with your friends. Looking at the menu, it offered a good variety of Western food and dessert. Even though I was not full from my dinner at other restaurant nearby, I decided to have dessert instead. Certain items on the menu caught my attention and 'Ice Cream ChimiChanga' was what I ordered. Didn't wait long for the dessert to serve, taking one bite of it and 'wooooo' was my reaction after my first bite. The ice cream is wrapped up with flour tortillas making it a nice combination, and you can mixed it with raspberry to enjoy it even more. At the price of HK$78, I find it to be pricey but what do you expect when enjoying a meal in this kind of restaurant? As for the service, it was ok. The waitress serving us understood and spoke English well. Overall, I enjoyed my dessert and my glass of white wine. I may return to try its main course in the near future.

In particular, I would recommend the fig and pear salad, the pumpkin salad, the ribs platter, fish & chips & the moo cha cha burger (w/ sour cream, guacamole & salsa). The portions were huge, and as fantastic as the food was, we couldn't finish everything we ordered. Service was prompt and friendly, and our server give great recommendations on what to order. The ambiance was relaxed, perfect for a meal with friends. Would highly recommend and will be back again soon.

A thoughtfully run restaurant with good food and super decent prices!…read more This restaurant is located smack bang in the middle of hole in the wall local places, so it really stands out with its clear western vibe and sophisticated decor. It has cute frames posters with quotes pertaining to life on the walls, and feels comfy. The menu is pretty extensive, with a variety of main course dishes with the option of making it a set meal for an additional charge, as well as set dinners. Food prices varies a lot, from HK$50 for a noodle dish to HK$200+ for steaks and such for dinner (lunch prices are cheaper). I ordered the smoked salmon salad and a white wine mussels appetizer, and both tasted pretty good. My fellow dining companions also enjoyed their dishes (a lobster bisque based angel hair dish, steak and a crab / mushroom risotto respectively). Set dinners come with bread, salad, soup, dessert and drink, which is a great deal! Was too full for dessert, but their desserts look super yummy. At the end of the meal, our server (/ maybe owner or manager?) took the time to ask if it was our first time here, and asked for our opinion on the food - really shows that they care about this restaurant.

Clean brunch menu that you would expect of other restaurants - I went straight with an ala-carte to really try out the menu. My stepdaughter ordered the Mushroom Linguini which was prepared well - al dente and not soggy. Hubby went for Eggs Royale with salmon and they turned out decent. I decided on a Quinoa Salad topped with a side of grilled beef (note: beef needed time to rest after serving, wait for about 5 min and it would be about right). Overall decent food for brunch - not exceedingly expensive - would definitely go back. More so since it's just a stone's throw away - happy to have another decent restaurant in the hood.

The food was juicy, we had oysters and scallops, both were excellent. The scallop dish had lots of different flavors mixed together perfectly and the oysters were huge and delicious. We had the beef as a main course and it was perfect too, great cooking, great flavour, and plenty of it. Desserts were also delicious, with eclairs and chocolate soufflés. Since it was my birthday, we also got a free strawberry ice cream cake. The atmosphere is very intimate, the staff are great and very welcoming, and the service is great. The free flow time was said to be 90 minutes but they were flexible and our last order was a little later than that. The free flow included champagne, red and white wine as well as sake and all the glasses we sampled were very good and perfectly suited to our dishes. Will definitely come back!

It was so very good but we recommended the white over red because the red is a bit heavy. They change the menu every now and then do no point reviewing it one by one. The bread is good, appetizer was so amazing and the entree is even better.

Food: 5 stars Ambience/service: 4 stars Value: 5 stars I have been here twice. My experience the first time was absolutely amazing. Each dish was described in precise detail with the thought behind each dish explained and why they sourced the ingredients and where the ingredients came from . Additionally, the chef came out at the end and chatted with us. He is a super friendly guy and very passionate about cooking. The second time around was good but not as memorable as the first. The wait staff didn't have the same passion behind the food and were more there to bring and take away your food. The food menu rotates every week. You can find the menu being served that week on the website. The main components of the following weeks menus will be on the website as well. You will need to book well in advance as the venue is small and books up quickly. You are unlikely to be able to see the menu the week of and then book based on the menu. My second visit the meal was four courses with an amouse bouche and bread and butter to start at a cost of 600 hkd per set. The starter was a zucchini tart which had a basil ice cream. The second dish was a salmon paired with melon and carrots. The main course was a chicken and played off the theme of Thanksgiving. The chicken was paired with stuffing which gave a homely feel to the dish. Lastly the dessert was a pear cake with a pear sorbet and cream. At the end of the meal you have choice of tea or coffee and a bag of sugar cookies to take home.

Even though the "lunch set" includes a coffee, with the salads costing $88-$98 each it's hard to add another item like a sandwich for $100+. I'd come again if I'm trying to be healthy and want something a little bit different, but not if I'm at all hungry or I'd need to supplement it with something else before/after.

Noted a New Zealand restaurant just opened in Central from magazine. Not quite sure if many…read morehongkongers have ever tried the Kiwi cuisine? Similar to cuisines in Australia, a diverse from British-based, with great ingredients selections, and they love lamb, um, I think. With curiosity, my friend and I decide to go and give a try. Located in Graham Street, just below Hollywood Road, Motu Kiwi is easy to spot. It's a tiny cosy cafe, decor is simple, with an open kitchen, which is good to chill with friends. We start with caesar salad, right amount of ingredients and flavours, lettuce is fresh and bacon is crispy. The main of my friend is fish and chip - classic and delicious, fish is cooked beautifully and chips are homemade; but the best dish of evening is fish kokoda! The dish is more like ceviche, marinated raw fish (mine is snapper) imported directly from New Zealand, seasoned nice with lemon juice, paired with fresh salad, all work together! I have to say the dishes are in big portion, have to leave dessert in our next visit. One more credit to give to the staff, Nicole is super friendly and she knows everything in the menu! It is difficult not to celebrate good food with good wines, unfortunately Motu Kiwi is still waiting for liquor license, however, there are enough reasons to come back again.

My friend and I come here every December for their Sunday champagne buffet. Pre-COVID, it was…read moreglorious with endless selection of high quality seafood and meat, I remember Peking Duck, suckling pig, prime rib rack, Paella and many more. Post-COVID, it's gotten worse year over year and now that Nicholini is closed, the buffet no longer stretches across the entire floor, it's limited to just Brasserie. The restaurant was packed to the gills pre-COVID but now only a handful of tables were occupied while we were there. Gone is the unlimited lobster, shrimp and other seafood and instead you'll get a platter with one of each and if you want oysters, you have to pay a surcharge of US$4 per piece. There's no longer a carving station and instead they put out a braised beef stew and another low quality item I can't even remember. The sushi/sashimi station is also gone and instead you'll get a pre-assembled fish bite of some kind. The live pasta station is still there but with mediocre selection, it's good but not something you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The rest of the buffet is just so sad with very limited and low quality selections, there's a tuna fish salad on offer, need I say more? They're also stingy with their champagne, we had to ask for a refill a couple of times and they stopped pouring half an hour before closing. We've given this restaurant more chances than it deserves and this time we're saying goodbye to them for good. For the price that we paid which was over US$150 per person, there're better choices out there.

This is my favorite steak place in HK so far…read more I ordered a M9 Rib eye steak with steamed rice and sautéed spinach. The M9 Steak tastes amazing. The steak was very tender and juicy, making every bite melting in your mouth. Also, the steak had a good amount of salt, not needing to add more salt unlike most steak places I've tried. The steak had a good meat to fat ratio. The spinach was sautéed with garlic. The spinach had a very strong and delicious garlic flavor plus the perfect amount of salt and juiciness. Worth to try. Also, although the rice was just simple and steamed, the rice tasted good and it wasn't over cooked. The seating area was nice and had a nice outside view. Although the price may seem pricy, the food quality was totally worth it. Overall, very delicious meal and will come again to possibly try another dish. 10/10

I do not give it out easily, but there has to be a line that is really the mark on what is acceptable and what is not. I would like to say that the food was bad, the atmosphere was unwelcoming and the staff was rude beyond belief in order a render a measly one star Yelp review. But none of this would be true. We had be interested in trying Oldish for some time for it is located in the cute sidestreets near Sheung Wan. When we entered on a Sunday around 3PM for a late lunch, we were seated and immediatley became unraveled. The tall male staff member behind the food prep counter was very publicly clipping his nails. CLIP! CLIP! CLIP! The snap of a nail clipper is recognizable and my husband and I were both really shocked that nobody in the restaurant was equally perplexed. Sounds you should never hear from staff in a restaurant...nail clipping makes my list. CLIP! CLIP! CLIP! Because they were slow at this time of the day, the staff member was clearly taking his time and focusing on his nail trim. He is right there, where they make coffee and prepare sandwiches and grill eggs and prep food...CLIP! CLIP! CLIP! We did not walk out and it took a lot for us to not walk out. We ate their all day breakfast, which was pretty good and a good portion really, but nothing is good enough for us to forget this incident nor to return ever again. Every Yelper and every restaurant patron has to decide their own personal line of what is acceptable and what is not acceptable while dining out Regardles of what restaurant I might visit in any city in the world, there are some deal breakers for me: nose picking, someone sick not wearing a mask, no clear hand washing and absolutley nail clipping. It is a poor reflection on hygiene of their staff and this is how people get sick. Someone else might say that this is OK and they would not have a problem with this. I am a hygiene/germ freak and have no problem going down dark alleys, eating in dingy cafes and enduring questionable conditions to seek out the best dining experience I can, but nail clipping in the food prep area is a line for me that was clearly crossed.

Here I spot it! What a charming place packed with lots of people, and we are just lucky enough to get a 2 seater. And I'm blessed, the first item on the lunch menu was just what I want (haha). Great oldie music, interesting decor...50s' Mickey Mouse, tin mugs, yellowish painted wall, oak mirror....and here it come, my sizzling all-day-breakkie and the veggie cake my hubby ordered.
