The Repulse Bay, home to The Verandah, is a nice escape from the city, and an exceptional wedding…read morevenue that offers far more than just a banquet hall. The property features multiple ceremony and cocktail party locations, each with its own charm. There are ocean views and ceremonial lawn. An elegantly landscaped stairway adorned with climbing plants leads past a tranquil koi pond, featuring turtles and a gentle waterfall. There's also a courtyard where local artisans setup carts of their arts and crafts for the holidays. It feels festive when it is decked up for Christmas with drizzles of machine-made snow. There are many boutique shops and restaurants for guests to explore between events. The flower shop alone is worth visiting -- their arrangements are exquisite. The amazing band at the Verandah seems to be able to improvise songs that guests request at random. The most entertaining thing at my cousin's wedding was him singing with their accompaniment. As for the food, it was okay. The Lobster Bisque was the best thing for the night of my cousin's wedding. I am not sure if I would enjoying eating at The Verandah had it not been my cousin's wedding. The Repulse Bay though is worth a visit, for there is many things to see and do if you are tired of the city.

Came for lunch on a weekend. They have a lunch set (~$500) that is quite filling as it comes with…read morean appetizer sampler (hit or miss), soup (delicious), entree of your choice (had the seabass which was ok) and dessert sampler (better than expected!) We also ordered the Caesar salad and lobster bisque off the a la carte menu, both were super tasty. The view is spectacular as you get a clear view of Repulse Bay.

There's multiple Classified restaurants around Hong Kong, I like this one because there's two…read morepicturesque swings. The ambience is really nice because it's right in front of the beach! I've been to this location multiple times and to be honest, sadly their customer service is pretty bad with the exception of the person in charge. The lack of customer service is common in HK, however, for a western restaurant I accept better. As for the food, certain dishes are pretty good, and others are pretty disappointing. I really like the Avocado Toast, Fish & Chips, and Frozen Mocha. Definitely avoid the pizza, salad (there's no substance to it, just a bunch of leaves), and dry chicken. I only leave this review in hopes they'll improve their food and service!

Great location and open dining space that opens up to the beach at Repulse Bay, however, the food…read moreand service left much to be desired. The server kept needing to check if certain dishes were available and spoke softly so it was hard to hear her (unclear if she was a trainee but she did not appear to be shadowing anyone). The portions were small and mostly bland. We had a group of seven and ordered appetizers to share, but there were not enough wings nor slices of flatbread to go around. We also ordered the tomato soup which was unexpectedly spicy. The seafood spaghetti could have used some salt and the quinoa salad tasted undercooked. The pre-teens in our group were most excited about the Unicorn Blood smoothie for their Instagram feeds, but were slightly disappointed that the colors were not as bold as shown on the menu. There are so many other restaurant options along the beach so there isn't much reason to come back.

Just opened up in Repulse Bay at THE PULSE. Come and get it!…read moreFinally! More choices to choose from at the PULSE. It's becoming a hot spot for locals and tourists! At first bite, ehhh...'twas A-OK folks! They didn't ask me how I wanted the meat cooked..but the way it came out, I think it was cooked medium...red on the inside. Not bloody though...just pinky...but a lot of pinky. I think you can tell them how you like it but I didn't this time around. I like the concept of this place - very casual, and laid back. I do think I should give this place another try, so I will be updating soon!

After a fun yet grueling morning workout on the Repulse Bay beach, my friends and I were ravenous…read morefor lunch. As all the other restaurants along The Pulse were too full to accommodate a large group of 12, a few of our group members made their way down to the end to Hotshot. "The restaurant was quite empty when we arrived...if that's any indication?" someone said, when I showed him the Hotshot listing on Yelp. And we're talking prime Sunday lunch hour here... We placed our orders in a hurry. The quinoa salad with seared tuna arrived first and looked amazing, so much that those of us who ordered burgers wanted to change our orders. We immediately jumped out of our seats and walked to the counter, only to see our burgers already plated and ready to be served. Whoops! On the other hand, the fried chicken burger also looked good, with that huge chunk of melted cheese on top. I will have to comment about service: they didn't bring out any cutlery at the beginning. My friend looked confused when they brought out her salad without a fork & knife - how was she to eat? When my friend placed an order for his milkshake and I for a glass of water, his milkshake arrived within 5 mins, but my water didn't. I called the waiter over again to remind him and they finally brought over 6 glasses of water. (Short-term memory much? The restaurant wasn't even THAT full.) The same friend that ordered a milkshake also ordered a medium rare hamburger with all the toppings (add HK$20 for a slice of cheese, HK$20 for crispy bacon), but it was in fact, well-done. We then asked for more water, and they returned with only two glasses. If we were in California, I would understand their concern for not bringing out water for everyone. But Hong Kong is not in a state-of-emergency drought! I am fine with paying more for food, if I can expect high quality and good value in return. As a economist, it's about getting bang for our buck, right? It was an OK hamburger, but for a dear price - HK$95. Probably the barest burger I've ever seen... The beef patty was at least 1cm smaller than the bread bun. Some chopped iceberg lettuce (like the kind you get at McDonalds in your Big Mac), one slice of tomato, a slice of pickle, chopped onion (probably barely one onion ring), and a thin drizzle of mustard and ketchup on the bun. It didn't come with any fries. You had to add extra for cheese and bacon. C'mon! Oh but wait, we're in HK, where almost everything is overpriced and expensive... On my way to the bathroom (through the "Sliding Door" and up the stairs to the mall, I noticed a more formal dining area - with actual seated tables - behind the detox juice bar. No big deal, we still had a pleasant time lounging near the front, watching dogs pass by.
