snowboard salad (~150hkd) . It's was so good
Viki Y.

every bite was a surprise . Mmm..reminiscing ...I can still taste that lobster pasta so so well . I dare to say that I enjoyed the meal from start to finish . By finish I mean up to the point when I pay my bill ( the house provides complimentary candied orange !all time fav ) R&B never cease to surprise me . Their menu changes periodically and on my third visit today, I am still feeling like I just discovered that 'drink me' potion in the secret garden. Okay, back to reality. .. This time round we ordered the snowboard salad and shrimp & crab salad to share between 2 . I must say portions were huge ! we could have easily fed another person and still be stuffed . The ingredients of the salad were so fresh and comforting . I counted there were actually 6 grilled prawn, salami, Apple, cranberry, lettuce, potato with Japanese roe, grilled pumpkin, raddish and a mini pot of white cream & cheese sauce (yum ) for dip,drizzle and to drink (?). By this time , I was already 70%full. Just when I thought nothing could top this , our main dish came . the shrimp & crab pasta which really was pasta in lobster soup blew my mind off ! each strand of pasta was so thoroughly mixed with the soup and was so flavourful . It was simply amazing and I can still taste that lobster fill my mouth ...

Awesome menu. Making me plan out my next 5 visits...

What an awesome concept restaurant! R&B stands for "Research & Bakery," but don't let the name mislead you. Bakery is the least of what they are -- they are a full-service restaurant with an extensive menu of lunch/dinner fare of the "comfort food" variety. They also have an adequate (but by no means extensive) selection of beer/wine/cocktails. Wine is limited to single-serving bottles; I ordered a glass of white wine and got an airplane-sized bottle of Gallo . . . which is actually decent truth be told. Cocktails are limited to a bloody mary and margarita -- both of which are actually twists on the traditional classic, thus consistent with the "experimental" nature of the menu. Ambience was nice and low-key. Keeping in theme with the "R&B" name, they played only R&B as background music, which -- let's all just admit it -- you can't help but groove out to as you sit there noshing on amazing comfort food. Every menu item sounded incredible; reading the menu immediately had me planning out my next half dozen visits. I had the corn and the uni gnocchi. The corn was served on the cob with plenty of butter, seasoning, and shredded cheese (!!!!!!!!!!!!); it was amazing, and shockingly not-that-messy. The uni gnocchi was actually my first venture into the land of uni; incredibly rich and delicious -- reminiscent of a soft macaroni and cheese dish with a distinct richness from the uni. To finish, I grabbed a piece of the peanut butter/marshmallow cheesecake to go. This dessert was a soft cheesecake incorporating a crunchy peanut butter flavor, and it was topped with a layer of chocolate and, on top of that, a layer of toasted marshmallow . . . all encased within a thick graham cracker crust. Holy Mother of God. This is the dessert to end all desserts: a ménage à trois of 1) a freshly toasted s'more, 2) a homemade peanut butter cup, and 3) a homemade cheesecake . . . all three of which made sweet sweet love together and birthed this beautiful baby of a mind-blowing dessert. Perfect with a coffee or cappuccino (also available on the menu). I will definitely be back again. And again. And again. And again. And again . . . . . . .

Plum Mojito (already drank some of it..oops)
Crystal X.

You know it's good when you spend 15 minutes trying to decide what to get! Stepped in for dinner with two girl friends and we ordered three entrées and a drink. I got the grilled mac and cheese sandwich ($88 HKD), which sounded unassuming, but I was blown away by the gooey cheesy deliciousness- it's flavorful, yet not too rich and heavy. The tomato bisque on the side also added the perfect touch of sweetness. Pretty much my idea of heaven on a plate! My friends ordered a Fuji Apple Salad and a Double Cheeseburger. I took a bite of the salad and it tasted fruity and fresh but the portion was on the smaller side, so perhaps order this for brunch or a light meal? Didn't try the cheeseburger but I had some of the duck fat fries and they're super tasty. We also got a pitcher of their Plum Mojito ($52 for a glass, $128 for a pitcher) and it did not disappoint! The tanginess of the plums with the lime juice and fresh mint leaves really hit it out of the park. Highly recommend this one! The White Sangria looked amazing too...ah well, next time I visit HK. Overall, the ambience is hip and trendy, service is relatively fast, food and drinks are great. Only thing to be mindful of is it gets pretty busy around dinner time.. when we were leaving at 7:30 there was a long queue. Arrive early to hopefully avoid a long wait!

Burger set, not in the brunch menu
Patsy Y.

Perfect place for chilling in Saturday afternoon. We, two girls, ordered a hamburger set with extra avocado, extra mushroom. The burger is good, in this price range. Of course there's always better beef if willing to pay more. But the chips is amazing, a bit of spicy and crispy. Lemonade is unlimited refill, staff with smile and good service. The little sweet treat, candied orange peel tasted great. Too bad I didn't take photo of it. Suggest to come before 7pm if you don't want to queue up.

Cheesy corn fries
Kim C.

I wanted to love it- and I almost did, but whoever was in the kitchen today wasn't on their A game. I will definitely be back to give it another try because it had all the makings of a great meal. The setting is open and light. Service is very attentive. The bottomless lemonade was a highlight. I ordered the grilled romaine (gem) salad with quail egg, brussel sprouts, lemon chickpeas, crispy garlic and shaved Romano. I think it would have been delicious if the kitchen didn't dump waaaaay too much dressing on top. It made it soggy fast and killed all the delicious crispness that would have made the salad wonderful. Suggestion: order the dressing on the side. I also had the cheesy corn fries. They arrived lukewarm (at best) and the delicious toppings made the fries soggy and a bit messy to eat. Suggestion: ask for these to served in a hot skillet they use for other dishes with the condiments on the side for dipping. The Nest looked amazing. I would order that next time!

The Snowboard salad ?!?!

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.

Come here for the drinks or for their attempt at Latin / Mexican bar food and bring some good company to boot. This is one of those places where a good time depends on who's drinking and who's not. The place has plenty of seating on the inside and quite a section for outdoor action. Folks can smoke and drink as they please outside with no problems. On the inside they have TVs galore, usually broadcasting Mexican soccer / futbol games. The staff is not pretentious and they have provided good service each time I'm here. Don't be nervous about trying to say the words on the menu, chances are the nearly app Nepalese staff might have trouble saying it too. Let's one thing straight: the "Mexican" food here is close to an abomination. Anyone coming here to get their fix of sopa tortilla or the next great mole poblano will be sorry they did. The bar is stacked with versions of bar friendly Mex, which includes nachos, quesadillas, and tacos. Most of the aforementioned is incredibly mediocre, but being that HK is not blessed with quality Mexican fare, the food at Tequila Jack's is hardly a surprise. Do however, indulge on their themed nights. On Saturday nights for example, is steak night for $108 each. It is a 10oz steak with some fixins like fries, veggies, and corn on the cob. I'm usually not terribly crazy about cheap steak but theirs is a slight exception. My steak has been cooked perfectly each time and the marbling / fat actually melts in your mouth. I have been here since the prices were $90 and the steak has been one of the only highlights food wise. On the drink front, they have a legit array of Mexican beers along with a stellar selection of tequila. It's probably the most abundant collection of tequila I've seen in the hood. The prices per shot aren't cheap ($140?) but if money doesn't matter as much the drunks are in their own league at TJ's. Lastly, if you're sitting outside at night: Watch out for our furry friends running around. They have caused quite a stir in the past. And *do not* feed them.

Con: There are not many other reasons you'd specifically come to this bar. Pro: They have almost twice the size of the original store. Con: It's a bit further away from the actual Causeway Bay, and further uphill. Pro: They have an amazing list of beers to choose from (well, amazing in terms of CWB's standard, not Soho's). Con: You have to be very patient to get a server, due to its prolonged corridor. It's a flaw by design. Pro: Unlimited peanuts and you can toss them on the floor. Hell YES. Con: It isn't really an "Inside out" anymore as most of the areas are indoors or covered. More cons: "membership" only (although it's like $20 a month, or you can tell the server that the friend of yours who is a member "is coming"). It closes relatively early to other bars, and also it lacks of other entertainment (darts, pools, etc.). But surely you can go to their professional pool room if you are keen. But as a sport bar, I still enjoy every bit of it, if not more than its original location, which was somehow always full.

The wings looked slightly skinnier than before, but taste wise, it is still there. Celery on the side looked a bit .. yellow though, but still crunchy!

A no frills kind of pub, Fatt's Place is an easy place to spot along the nightlife laden Hart Road…read more The open layout makes it an ideal spot for a beer, some good conversation (companion worthy!) and plenty of people watching. Another thing hard to ignore is all the peanut shells on the ground. Maybe it's just a decor gimmick or maybe (just maybe!) it's an opportunity for locals to feel the satisfaction of littering at a place where no one gets to litter ever. I've eaten my share of peanuts and happily contributed to the mounts of shells over the last few months. It's definitely kind of fun. I usually bring a drinking buddy or two to pregame here before heading to a few other nearby spots for food and more drink. Fatt's has a lot of tallboy action for stands, which are good for tall folks but that's really about it. There isn't a whole lot of room for group drinking action, but who really cares when you're standing on a bunch of empty peanut shells anyway? They do serve an pretty solid lineup of western foods, mainly bar / pub fare. It's just a shame I haven't really liked any of them. They tout their "big" burgers, but at $100HKD, I'm expecting something big and flavorful. Strangely enough they also serve marinated ribs ($265 for a full slab), sausages, and salads. I made a mistake one night and ordered their pasta / pizza, and it was no bueno. Instead, stick to the drinks and good company. Simple is good at Fatt's. Bottoms up.

They are so-called Whisky Bar... but I seriously doubt their knowledge about liquors…read more Here's what happened. My friend ordered a Hendrick's Ginger Ale and I ordered a pint of Asahi. The staff nodded, repeated the order, and got us two drinks. My friend was probably being too nice to not point out that the Hendrick's Ginger Ale was too light in Hendrick's and too much in ginger ale. But hey, now that we finished the first round of drinks, why didn't we order another round anyway, while waiting for another friend to come, before we headed to our dinner? Perfect, let me order a Hendrick's Tonic. "Sorry?" "Hendrick's. As in the gin." "So you want Gin Tonic?" Said the staff, who wasn't as confused when he took our first order. "Yes, but with this specific brand of Gin called Hendrick's." "Let me check if we have it..." "But it's on the menu?" I pointed at the menu, where clearly showing they did serve Hendrick's. "Oh right, surely." My friend now wondered if she really got a Hendrick's Ginger Ale. Oh yeah, you know that answer already when you are reading this, but we had to wait until the bill came to confirm. I'd have given them a 2-star if it's not a newly opened bar. Also, I asked for the address of the place (so that I could send to my friends coming over). Apparently it wasn't on any of their drink menu or leaflets. They didn't have a business card either. And they ended up giving me the receipt of some other table which finally got their address. Well, they had a big arse TV just happened to show Janet Hsieh on TLC. That got some of my very subjective points.
