    A sample of the beautiful and tasty cocktails at Ophelia
    David B.

    Ophelia is a truly unique experience in many ways. The first thing you notice is the sheer size of it. Much larger than the typical Hong Kong bar. There are several small rooms and seating areas in addition to the large main bar. The theme is a 1920's speakeasy. You'll enjoy the Art Deco adornments and the dimly lit atmosphere. The drinks (ranging from HK $100-140) are cleverly mixed and unique in presentation and taste. The other trademark of Ophelia are the girls. Whether on shelves behind the bar, in a cage, or slinking around the seating areas, these are some of the most beautiful and seductive ladies I've ever seen in Hong Kong. All part of a very well put together show.

    Very opulent bar in a newer development within Wan Chai that was inspired by the opium dens of the 1800-1900s. The venue is a big departure from other Hong Kong bars and upon entrance transports you to a different place with its intricate metal and tile work. It was nice going on a less busy night to walk around the venue and admire the decorations. For such a whimsical bar, the staff wasn't as friendly as we would have expected. We had the Opehila's Brother and Peacock Julep cocktails. Both were interesting in flavor and received high presentation points - many of their drinks have Asian inspired flavors and ingredients. While the drinks were decent, they were more showy than boozy. The service (time and staff) could use improvement. We went on a less busy weekday and sat at the bar but it still took a very long time to receive our cocktails, 30+ minutes. The mixologists were inexperienced or seemed to be training as they frequently referred to notes while preparing the drinks. They also traversed across the entire length of the bar to find ingredients, multiple times for a single drink, either indicating the bar wells were inefficiently stocked or the staff wasn't sufficiently trained. The manager was attentive to the situation and came by to see how we were doing and to apologize for it, so that made up for many of the shortcomings.

    You really only paid for the environment and entertainment. The cocktails were overly dress and a little pricey ($130hk). The cocktails will take while to be made bc I don't believe all the barters knew how to make them and some dressing was just over the top. I saw one barter trying to make the dress for over 10min on one drink. My friend ask for a light beer and ended up with a lager. That really tells you something about the batters. But yes, go here for the entertainment and not the drinks. No shorts and dress nice.

    Rumour has it Ophelia is the hottest and coolest new venue in town so we had to check it out. An opulent setting with birdcages and tweeting birds were an unusual but interesting greeting upon arrival. Inside is decadent with a dark and strange Peacock theme, but fear not, it's cool, very cool indeed. To be fair, I'd had a few before arriving and despite beating reasonably early in the evening (before 9pm) the bar and alcoves were filling up. This kind of venue is certainly good for a group. Fine drinks at a hefty price, take your credit card and someone else's too. We'll definitely go back and will provide a more in-depth review which Ophelia definitely deserves. Easily 4* to start

    Brilliant! Free burlesque show "uncaged" every Wednesday night - classy but on the edge....  top DJ and upmarket escapism vibe!

Staff wanted to seat us in the open air part, close to the very front of the restaurant. Since it was hot, we asked for, and were accommodated at a table in the middle of the restaurant, under the needed air conditioning!! We started off with two tapas; the Padron Peppers, $87, and the White Anchovies, $74. While the pepper dish was ample in size, it was incredibly boring in taste. However, the large sardines were expertly seasoned and enjoyable. For our main, we shared a non-meat version of the Seafood Paella, $338. This was delicioso y mui excellante! For dessert, we shared a Date Pudding, $70. This too was excellent. See photos. All in all a very comfortable place to dine. Service was adequate, as the staff had an attitude, yet food was impressive, thus the rating of 4 stars.

They also have a good wine list that's affordable by the glass. We were a bit peckish one Sunday afternoon so we stopped by and ordered their tasting platter, which had 30 g each of serrano, lomo, chorizo, and salchichon iberico. It was served with some hearty bread slices and gherkins. I wish they could add some cheeses, but after all they are named "Iberico" so I guess I'll let it slide, haha. As it's along the escalators, it's a nice spot to chill over drinks and small plates while you people watch. If you're lucky, you might even witness some tourists who trip and fall at the end of the escalator because they were clearly not paying attention while taking selfies! (Yes, I've seen this happen before and it is schadenfreude at it's finest!)

I had the soup and a burger. As lame as it sounds, I wish their menu had an explanation of what everything is. Because some of the dishes were in a foreign language, I didn't know what it was. That's kind of how I ended up with the soup... The soup was very sour, but in a good way. Inside the soup, there was a piece of what tasted like parma ham. My burger was cooked really well, just before medium. It was juicy and well paired with cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes. The sauce that came on it was also really good. I can't exactly say what kind of sauce it is though... All in all, I thought the food was good but I'm not sure I would say that Ham & Sherry is a place that I will regularly return to. Their food didn't have that wow factor to it.

Where as the other stellar spots offer a more intimate experience and tighter spaces, PDP is wide open with their layout. So wide as a matter of fact, that they're one of the few places that can truly be outdoor and indoor at the same time. Plenty of folks come here to booze, chill, and people watch, all of which could be considered pastimes of mine. Start it off with their specialty sangrias (hello rosé sangria), which aren't limited to red and white, but also beer as well. The latter is a bit of a surprise, and the taste is an extra kick (ginger beer?) that makes less beer-y but more cocktail'y. The rest of the drinks are mainly beers, frozen drinks, martinis, and cocktails. There are mocktails available for the non-alcoholic folks and a decent wine selection for people who aren't feeling the sangria. Pro-Tip: Happy Hour goes from 12pm-9pm. That's nine hours of easy drinking bliss. Food wise, I would venture their menu is more international than it is basque. Spanish tapas are certainly available here but they have pastas, pizzas, and sandiwches that are a solid complement to the drinks. Anything with their imported Iberico Ham is a safe be and the paella is extremely filling. The weekends can get pretty crowded and on some days they rock football / soccer matches. Bank on the friendly service (which is never a guarantee in HK) and do yourself a favor and indulge in their weekday happy hour and/or discounted brunch (30% off!).

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!
