Quick Squiz: A friend had once warned me about Classified. I should’ve listened.More about the restaurant: Beautiful shop location opening up to the lovely promenade and beach. The swing-like seats dominate its store front (perhaps just a bit too much to make entry and exit a bit of a squeeze between furniture for any average person).

More about the restaurant:
Beautiful shop location opening up to the lovely promenade and beach. The swing-like seats dominate its store front (perhaps just a bit too much to make entry and exit a bit of a squeeze between furniture for any average person). I would not have set a long row seats perpendicular to the promenade though. It felt a little hidden from all the beach action. My choice of layout would have been parallel to the promenade with a dimmed mirror towards the inside, with other bits and pieces to fancy it up and lessen the glare.
Shop design aside, staff (tried to) memorise what we wanted to order. Not sure if it is a company policy to do so to make it a more casual affair, but it doesn’t really work when I answered ‘medium’ for the burger (first of two things we ordered in a party of two) when asked how we would have liked it done to what appeared like a blank face. When I looked at the waiter with questioning eyes for a lack of response, we were asked if we were only ordering one thing. Of course not dear, I was only seeking a sign of acknowledgement that I wanted my burger medium. Lo and behold, the waiter came back after a few minutes from the order and asked if it was 'medium rare'. Not only this, they also didn’t seem to know they had a meatball and basil pizza as a set lunch when I tried to order it off the board on the wall.Onto the food, the bacon and lentil soup was passable but certainly not something to commend. The bread which came with it was toasted (good) and chewy (bad, especially when it's meant to have been toasted). The pizza… the basil (which tasted fresh), meatball and cheese all felt very ‘added on’ and none really fused together as one pizza. I felt I could’ve done better at home. But then again, I just had an excellent pizza the other day at Mercato. And just don’t even start comparing the meatballs. So perhaps my expectations were too high.
Oh, I also has an orange juice. It was fresh, albeit didn’t fill up the glass I was given. Refreshing and perhaps the best part of the meal (other than the beautiful weather outside that was gracing Hong Kong that afternoon ).Think I’d stick to other options next time.
