Resto @ HK Central: French – Brasserie in the 8th @ Conrad Hotel
Décor: modern and has not been renovated for a long time. This set-up should have been there for at least 8 to 10 years.
Ambiance: fine dining ambiance
Sitting: fairly close to your neighbor. In fact the restaurant was about half full, the maitre d’hotel could have sit the guests at alternate table, thus giving us more privacy.
Food: appetizers were OK for all of us…. Sashimi salad, soups and custom prepared arugula salad mixed with tomato and slices of avocado. See additional comments in the service section. My deer steak was over cooked when it was ordered medium-rare… it came as medium or close to well-done. They quickly replaced it with one that is medium rare. My wife had a surf and turf, the king prawns were tasty while the steak was well prepared… medium rare. The quality of the beef is also good. We also had seared scallops … very well prepared. Lab chops were succulent.
Service: courteous, friendly and attentive… in fact excellent. We just asked if they have different sorts of bread for the breadbasket other than crackers and baguettes. The next thing you know, they went to Nicolini and got us a basket of mixed bread (olive bread, saffron bread, whole-wheat etc…). I wanted some arugula salad, which is not on the menu, they made it happen for me. My wife mentioned in passing that we are here to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, at dessert; they gave her a small stuffed Conrad bear. We did not ordered dessert as we already have a birthday cake from Shangri-la at home.
Wine: Good wine list though on the expensive side, particularly the French wines. We ordered a Nipozzano Chianti, 2006… the wine is only so, so…. Borderline to be returned.
Cost: about HK$700 per head with wine (average quality wine) for diner, no dessert, no coffee or tea… Reasonable for the ambiance, the service, the set-up.
Value for Money? Reasonable… badly prepared food was taken back in exchange for a new dish without question or argument. Excellent service.
General: We will come back again.
