Overall, food is quite good here. The duck confit and the potato side was exceptional. Pigeon Wellington was not bad. The brownie dessert was pretty good too. Service wise the staff members are quite friendly. Atmosphere wise since we went there for dinner so it was quite dark that we can’t really enjoy the view of the park. Price wise is reasonable for its quality. Portion wise might be a bit small but if you take 3 courses or more then it should be satisfying enough.

Food: All the portions and quality are fine. The service level is great too, all staffs are very kind and enthusiastic. CP value: About 300 per head including 2 cakes and 2 sets and I would give 9/10 for CP value, considering the food Quality, portions and dinning experience. Dinning experience : As same as the name, it is located next to the poon whereas only one side of the restaurant will be entitled to the seaview. It is recommended to the reserve few weeks before the date to get the real poonside view.
