Service was attentive without it being overbearing--helpful with the dish selection as well. We thought the dishes were great from start to finish. The burrata was creamy, complimented by the tart and sweet grilled peach while being cut by the savory cured meats. I ordered the lamb medium-rare and really enjoyed how it was prepared, and the pasta dishes similarly turned out delicious. We felt like the presentation of the dishes were very thoughtful on top of its great taste. Both desserts were a necessary closing of the meal--the creaminess of the tiramisu and panna cotta was not overbearing and helped highlight the respective flavors of coffee and fruit in these desserts!

I am also big on dessert so the new tiramisu recipe was particularly noteworthy, standing out from others that I've tried. Kudos to Boris and Elle for their attentive service; they frequently checked in on us and ensured our comfort. Overall, my visit to Pirata was a delightful experience that I look forward to repeating. Thank you Pirata Group.

Note: The only thing we didn't care for was the table of smokers near our table, but that isn't something the restaurant can control. We are spoiled in CA with the 'no smoking' laws!

Located in Sha Tin Town Hall, la terrazza Caffe is only minutes away from the ever-bustling New…read moreTown Plaza, but its quiet atmosphere and generally quite affordable prices make it seem like a whole new world. To get there from New Town Plaza, simply exit at the first floor (where all the restaurants are), walk up the steps and go straight into the Town Hall. My mother and I were here for the first time for tea the other day. A cake set including a drink adds up to $45, and there's no service charge, so it is quite a bit cheaper than other cafés. The downside is that there were only three types of cakes - tiramisu, Neapolitan and apple tart, but the upside is that they brew Starbucks coffee! This makes their set a really good value because getting a drink at Starbucks would set you back at least $30 already. Although the variety of cakes is limited, you'll be pleased to know that they're of a pretty good size. Especially my mother's Neapolitan - it was about twice the size of regular artisanal cakes that you would get elsewhere. The Neapolitan is loose yet very crunchy, and not overly sweet. My tiramisu was not as big and unfortunately didn't have much of a coffee taste, but was soft and creamy nonetheless. We were there at around 5pm on a Friday and had no issues finding a seat. Besides cakes, they also serve waffles with (Haagen Dazs!) ice cream, hot dogs and salad. They do lunch sets too. One thing though is that there is faint Chinese opera music not from the cafe, but from the speakers around the Town Hall. It's not super loud but if you have really sensitive ears and are not one for high pitched Chinese opera tunes, this may bother you!

Nonetheless, they allow you to get drinks inside and take them to the outdoor area. And they (surprisingly) did not complain about some in our group bringing drinks from outside. Went back again during the day and they have decently priced lunch sets. The food ranges from below average to above average depending on the dish you choose. One thing to note is the size of their items are pretty large. Not the serving but the ingredients. Environment was also pretty nice and service was pretty good.

Wow! Super surprised there is a yelp entry for this restaurant!…read more This place I feel is not in the most ideal area. Personally, I don't like coming to LKF to have dinner or lunch or whatever. Still, I can't fault them too much for the location, and many people have actually done the same since there are a number of good restaurants in LKF area. This place is primarily a steak place, though they have a few other things to choose from as well. I believe lunch times they offer a AYCE sort of option, where you get a main and then the salad bar is buffet. I've been to it before and it's pretty good. I've heard however since COVID they have changed it somewhat. The other night I came and got the seafood guazzetto, which is about $300 HKD, and has a bunch of different things such as fish, octopus, clams, etc. Lots of seafood essentially. Other things I tried included the sides of brussel sprouts, mushrooms, bruschetta, some of my brother's sirloin steak, some of the fish of the day (halibut?). Overall, the food is quite nice. I will say, they tend to use a bit too much butter/oil here. I know this is kind of true whenever you eat out, but here it is definitely noticeable. I would recommend them to tone it down just a little bit, since there are always ways to spice up your dish without going overboard on the fats

I came here for dinner three nights ago, and I'm still full from it!…read more The five of us shared bruschetta (it comes with four but they added one more for us), the cured meats (a great curated selection), and the meatballs for appetizer. They also brought out some veggies and dip before we ordered (which I had never seen done before) along with bread. The highlight of the night was the steaks of course. We shared the florentina (aka the porterhouse. A 32oz wagyu beast) and a filet. The meats came on a cutting board already cut, so the sharing was easy. They were perfectly seasoned, tender, and flavorful. We had roasted veggies and creamed spinach as sides. The latter was addictive! Chef Todd was around to explain their meat selection when I walked around to check them out in the case. We didn't get to send our regards to him, as we stayed late and were the last to leave. Todd, if you're reading this, hail to the chef! We went without a reservation and were seated right away. It was a Thursday night, but we had gotten there around 9 which might explain the vacancy. It's a great option for groups and celebratory dinners :)

Before I start expressing how I actually felt about the dining experience, I want to specify that…read moremy waiter was the best part of this experience by a mile. Mustafa (hopefully this is spelled correctly) was: kind, attentive, incredibly speedy, and inhumanly composed. An absolute delight to have as a server, and frankly while my review isn't particularly positive, I would have found the experience to be borderline 1 star just based on the actual flavors of the food relative to the pricing if not for him having saved the experience. If I could do this dinner again, I would honestly order less food, as you get the same view whether you order a single tasting menu and grab some takeout elsewhere afterwards, but at face value the flavors seemed bold yet feasible, as though they could turn out well depending on the execution. In reality we ended up spending approximately $1200HKD per person on a tasting menu that had one to two memorable items each. We actually spent an additional $98HKD on a dish that neither one of us felt compelled to finish. The second course tempura was more interesting flavor-wise than either of our mains, in part due to the chili infused tempura sauce doing a lot of heavy lifting. We are not generally fine dining individuals, it is an occasion we reserve for special events (this was our anniversary), but we do have enough experience to know that the execution of these dishes was miles away from a single Michelin star, yet commanded prices well above most of the one-star restaurants we've visited. The waiter took plenty of photos to commemorate the experience, and we managed to see both the 8PM "city of lights" show on the businesses spread along the harbor, as well as a fascinating lightning storm directly in front of us in a massive panoramic, which should lead to an unforgettable night, but the quality of the food left us grasping at straws to find silver linings. I wish I could remember this experience more fondly, but every time a family member asks whether we enjoyed the food, we struggle to muster any enthusiasm and at roughly $2,800HKD after 10% service charge I can't help but wish we had gone elsewhere to get better food and just visited some sort of observation deck instead.

Let me first start by saying that the management team here is solid. We had a situation with our…read morepizza, and the bar manager, Timothy, handled it professionally and made sure my husband and I were taken care of.

Words cannot do Cipriani Hong Kong justice…read more.. I have been eating at Cipriani Hong Kong for the past 12 years and what stands out is the consistency of service, quality of food and strict adherence to tradition...It's an institution with an amazing history (well worth reading up on) and a team that remain true to their strong Venetian roots. They are also notable for creating some Italian classics such as the Bellini (the original and the best - there's also a non-alcoholic version) and carpaccio. The dining experience at Cipriani Hong Kong is steeped in history and culture. The menu is extensive and includes the Cipriani classics, which luckily will never change, but also has variety at the edges, which allows frequent patrons to try something different every time they visit, should they so desire. Amongst the classics, Baked White Tagliolini with Ham (even better with green tagliolini) stands out - a rich shallow plate of pasta with a béchamel type sauce, strong tasting ham to give flavour and topped with parmesan and baked to heavenly perfection to give a crispy topping. Served as a starter or main. Scampi alla Carlina with Rice Pilaf is also a favourite - fresh and meaty scampi with a tangy tomato based sauce paired with Cipriani's lightly fried rice (also cooked to perfection). Amongst the starters, Avocado & Cherry Tomatoes Salad not only contains the freshest of both ingredients, is super healthy and tastes amazing with just the right amount of seasoning, but is also visually appealing with its mix of bright greens and reds. The Sea Scallops Carpaccio with Lemon and Olive Oil is also outstanding - paper thin slices of fresh sea scallop, layered to cover the plate with a touch of olive oil and sea salt, and half a lemon on the side, the juice of which provides a sharp compliment to the briny taste of the scallops. The risottos and pastas, are served perfectly al dente (more so than at any other Italian restaurant I have experienced) and the sauces are traditional. Try the Sea Urchin and Bottarga spaghetti for something really special and go off-menu for Spaghetti alla Tang, which was created for co-owner David Tang - a light and flavoursome dish with olive oil, prawns and chilli. Mains include fish and meat options, with must haves including Chilean Sea Bass in Miso Glaze (similar to Saikyo Yaki from Japan) and Veal Piccata al Limone (thinly sliced roast veal with a delicate lemon based gravy). Although not an obvious option, the Black Angus Beef Burger with home made chips is outstanding and extremely satisfying. And then the desserts, where the cake options are brought to the table in a theatrical show and introduced in all their sweet detail...The chocolate cake is heavy (in a good way) and rich whilst the Vanilla Meringue Cake is a light and fluffy classic. Tiramisu, Affogato (with home made ice-cream) and Fresh Berries with Vanilla ice-cream are all delicious. The drink selection is also wide and full of classics. The Espresso Martini is a great way to end a fantastic meal but also between courses try the Sgroppino (lemon sorbet, vodka and prosecco). The house wines are solid, especially when on a budget. The 3 course daily lunch menus provide good value whilst the dinner set menu (typically 5 courses) allows guests to try a variety of signature dishes in a combination arranged by the head chef. There's also an outstanding brunch buffet on Saturday's which includes all of the classic dishes together with pizza and roast meats, where the dishes are replaced regularly to keep them fresh - unlike any buffet I have tried before and extremely good value considering the quality and taste. It's important to note that Cipriani Hong Kong is a members only restaurant which allows it to retain a level of exclusivity. Perfection...

When we came here for lunch, it was so packed we had to wait a while for seats. At first glance, the restaurant is really nice, well decorated and very clean. My first time here was pretty bad, so I thought I would come try something else to give it a more fair review. But unfortunately the food is where it all goes downhill..the food is simply not good, incredibly basic and bland, tastes kinda like something you would microwave at 7/11 (They do offer unlimited drinks which is nice). I understand that they are selling really cheap food (50 for lamb chops!) But there are definitely places where you can spend the same amount of money for much, much better food. However if you are just looking for a nice place to grab lunch and chat, then coming here for some appetizers and unlimited drinks would be fine.

The calamari was typical, and the bolognese lasagna was slightly bland yet filling, and the caprese was excellent - some of the best mozzarella I've had.
