The biggest problem is Nicholini's is that it is trapped in a time warp. I have no doubt that the grandeur of the establishment was once a sight for sore eyes for the elite across hong kong but it has hopelessly lost touch with the world today. I went there for the semi-buffet business lunch. The restaurant looked tired, the decor is way out of style, the wood panelling on the wall is way off for a restaurant that charges 500 a head for lunch. The semi-buffet reminded me of what Isola used to
I went there for the semi-buffet business lunch. The restaurant looked tired, the decor is way out of style, the wood panelling on the wall is way off for a restaurant that charges 500 a head for lunch. The semi-buffet reminded me of what Isola used to have (but that place is full of wankers) but a lot worse, hell, the chef had already began packing up at 1.15pm! I had the vongole pasta, the portion was tiny and the taste was ok but not "oh my god for a $380 bowl of pasta it blows my pants off" kind of sensation. The desert was so unremarkable that I cannot even remember what I had.
I have to give the level of service 5 out of 5 though. The staff were extremely attentive and efficient but my god - have you seen their uniform? a dull off apricot shade blouse (shirt for gents) with brown pants, not fitted or anything but drapey. This is sure fashionable in 1987 but for Conrad in Hong Kong in 2009? See what I mean by trapped in a time warp?
There are sooooooo many other places in Central/Admiralty for you to blow $500 a head on a lunch but just not this one.
