"The first dish to appear was a stunningly presented Toro Tartare, served with thick slices of crispy brioche and dollops of yuzu truffle vinaigrette. The fish itself was wonderfully fresh and light, allowing room for the rich sauce to take charge. A few bites of this and we knew we were already off to a good start." - Sassy Hong Kong
"Sea bream ceviche with young coconut and pomegranate amazu (a light dressing usually used on cucumber salads that is sweet and salty) is amazing, as is a successfully chunky Blue Fin tuna tataki with caramelized shallots, wakame, maitake mushrooms and tosazu." - Foodie
"Order from creative indulgences such as the Foie Gras French Toast, and don’t leave without trying one of the desserts. Try the Chocolate Bar, a passion fruit, caramel and banana dessert covered in dark chocolate, embellished with pop rocks." - HK Magazine
