I'm not familiar with all of the details for what goes into these rankings so I can't say I fully agree with them. I did have a great experience here though so I also can't object to the rankings either. The drinks I had were not made with any extra flair. They were simply high quality drinks that were made with care. The mortadella focaccia was really good. It was easily the best sandwich I've had in Hong Kong and in my top 5 overall. I'm not sure how I would improve it. The focaccia had the perfect texture and each bite was so enjoyable. Each bite of the mortadella was such a pleasure. The flavors were all so balanced and perfect. SERVICE: service was great from the start. Amina was really knowledgeable and helpful when I arrived. I sat at the bar and had great service there as well. Bar Leone is well staffed and all of the staff seem great too. *Walking there from the MTR isn't the simplest. There are two decently long flights of stairs with a street in between that also has a decent incline. **Don't expect to be able to walk in immediately for a table. If you can, try to get there early. If you are flexible, you can also put your name down and return later. If you arrive too late, there's also the chance you won't be seated

Oh, and yeah, this place was recently named the top bar in ALL OF ASIA! Be sure to out your name down, go explore around and grab something to eat prior to coming back. You may be in for a 2+ hour wait because of the hype. Enjoy!

Located on the lobby floor, in a woody, clubby room, the bartenders, especially Elton, remember your name, drink, and are very helpful. Happy hour, 2 for 1 drink prices, are a steal.

I had a beautifully crafted old fashioned and my companion had a perfectly chilled Martini. The spirits list is quite respectable, and they have good drink specials: one night it was 2 for 1 top shelf scotch. The most impressive thing, though, was the service. The bartender remembered us after only one visit, down to prior drink order and the fact that we wanted extra potato chips! I wish this was closer, because I would go more often.

Although the laidback tunes they bump here are actually really nice and a great way to enjoy Sunday lunch. Their lunch set consists of a soup starter, and your choice of appetizer. We went with crab cakes, which are solid by HK standards but average/below average by New England standards. The main courses are fantastic - see the pictures! The bread they give you here is phenomenal - I've no idea what they do to it but I'd come back just for the bread. We've been eating bread wrong our whole lives. Whole grain, whole shmain. Service here was great although the sparkling water is absurdly expensive. 70 HKD for a bottle of sparkling is mind boggling. Heard this place has a nice rooftop too - highly recommend a return visit!

At the Captain's Bar on the ground floor of the Mandarin Oriental you will find people doing work,…read morejust finishing work or dodging work all in one place. The Captain's Bar feels like a real throwback: dark leather, wood paneling, and smartly dress waiters serving up carefully crafted drinks with impeccable service. I am partial to the Old Fashioned here -- my pick for the best Old Fashioned in the city -- which is served in a no-nonsense manner with a simple twist and without any oranges or cherries to distract from the bourbon. There is a full bar that I would imagine can whip up any cocktail you can think of, and a pretty solid beer selection to boot. Draft beers are famously served in metal tankards, which seems to keep them colder and give them a bit of a (pleasant) metallic tang. A popular happy hour spot with the business set, it can get crowded, so arrive by 6 or 6:30 to secure the comfortable couch seating along the perimeter. Although probably not surprising because it is housed in the Mandarin Oriental, I have been surprised at how good the food is here. You have access to a fairly large menu, from bar snacks for sharing to meals fit for a full lunch or dinner. I tried the satay recently and it was well grilled, juicy and the peanut sauce was a nice compliment. Because it is easy to run up a hefty bill here, the Captain's Bar is best enjoyed for a good cocktail or two and a snack before moving on. There also is live jazz music played at times from a small stage in the corner, which may be a draw for some, but I actually find a bit too loud for my taste. It could be that's because the stage is right next to my favorite table, but I tend to filter out as the band filters in.

I ordered the triple tier lamb curry, which means that it comes with naan and rice. It is called triple tier because it comes in a stack of pots with the aforementioned food. The curry was good but not out of this world. I've had many curries that I thought were just as good. My thinking is that if I come to HK to get Indian curry, it should be phenomenal. If your goal is to meet your curry fix, then this is good. I also ordered a mango lassi. It was quite light, compared to many of the heavier lassi's I've had at other restaurants. It was very refreshing. Nonetheless, the environment is quite nice and the service is good.

Hostile Management Ruined a Professional Group Event…read more We visited last night after calling ahead the day before and being explicitly told no booking was needed for a large group. Yet, when we arrived with 12 directors and professionals on a quiet Monday night, the restaurant was almost empty, and the manager immediately told us off for not booking. He talked down to me, avoided eye contact, and made us feel entirely insignificant.We tried to have a calm conversation and mentioned we were spending money on a two-hour social gathering, but he restricted us to sit in the corner and strictly ordered us not to mingle with his patrons. He flatly stated he didn't care about our money, only his 'regulars.' To make matters worse, they forgot one of our food orders, and some of the food we did receive was subpar. It's a shame because the floor staff were sweet and kind, but hospitality starts from the top. I have never felt more unwelcome and treated with such hostility at an establishment. Avoid this place! Wasn't in the mood to take a picture I'm afraid.

I rather try local venues for lunch and dinner and get a more local feel. The staff was efficient and sat me down pretty quickly. Food was very good. They had some local bottled beers which it is always a plus. Why sit in a bar half way around the world for a beer you can pick up at your local bar. The views are excellent of the harbor. It is a great place to sit, relax, and catch up with friends. Only complaint is that the table and chair I sat at were more for casual sitting. It was a little uncomfortable for a meal. Other than that, the food and views were very good.
