Setting:

An elegant, calm retreat perched high above the bustle of Tsim Sha Tsui, this chic establishment breathes romantic 80s glamour while boasting specta-cular views of Victoria Harbour.

Food:

While seafood certainly steals the show on the a la carte menu, with over 30 choices of oyster, meat lovers will also not be disappointed. The generously portioned foie gras starter paired with the tart sweetness of stewed apricots is a melt-in-the-mouth creation, while the main course of tender oven-roasted rack of lamb crusted with cumin, coriander and cinnamon is a Moroccan fusion of flavours. For seafood fans, the Napoleon of Balik salmon — a beautifully presented tower of delicate fish, sour cream and sevruga caviar — is a taste sensation of a starter and the signature main of broiled red Emperor fish is a subtle delight. A grand way to round off such a stellar meal is the billowing souffle served in a teacup. Choose from an alluring array of flavours, including grand marnier, chocolate and ginger.

Wine:

An extensive wine list, with an array of Old and New World varieties, is available with sommelier and manager Marco Vazquez happy to offer expert advice.

Service:

Speedy, efficient and intelligent service, always at hand while never obtrusive. Rather serious, but friendly and knowledgeable when engaged in polite conversation.

Price:

A rather pricey meal for two at $1,450, excluding wine but real value for money in terms of location and experience.
