  減減壓

  Jo | Aug 5 2011

  近期真係要減下壓呀..所以當晚決定約友人食餐好既安撫下自己既心...2個人叫左洋蔥湯, 唔知咩燒羊肉, 半打法式田螺, 燴鴨肉千層麵...最後更係叫左個蘋果酥配薑汁雪糕.
  
  其實成晚既食物我地2個都她滿意...一來既洋蔥湯真係用足材料, D湯好甜好好飲, 至於2款前菜小食同樣出色特別個羊肉真係燒得岩岩熟唔會UN唔錯.
  
  個千層麵真係估唔到咁大份量, 我地都係食左一半就留肚試埋個甜品.
  
  蘋果酥配薑汁雪糕...真係好得..我特別喜歡個雪糕真係好夠薑味配上熱熱既蘋果酥絕配.

  Not bad at all

  Casual bistro at Times Square. Good food, good ambiance.
  
  However, the drinks are a bit of a rip off (there was more ice and foam in the ice cappuccino than coffee).

  No queue

  The caesar salad reminds me of the ones I had in California. The soft-boiled egg on top is divine. Other hard to resist items: onion rings - crunchy and super delicious but I know people who think the batter is too thick - and bread pudding with sea salt caramel icecream - to die for! Also like the cheeseburger but it's quite big so good for sharing.

  Kids Had Fun!

  Audrey Tam | Sep 15 2009

  Kids had so much fun rolling out doughs, sprinkling ingredients and making their own pizzas! Great place for Sunday lunch with families.

  The French Man | Sep 11 2009

  This is for me the best restaurant in town for casual dinner, hanging out with friends, etc.
  I recommend it to all my friends and everyone was so happy!

  798 Unit & Co.

  jason.bonvivant | Aug 4 2009

  I can't recall the last time I was here, maybe over a year ago or so. All I remembered was that I have not been back ever since for various reasons. Tonight, two friends and I decided to pay this place a visit. The decor of this restaurant (which applies to its TST outlet as well) carries a French Bistro style with a very soft and mild ambiance. The tile floor along with chalk board menu adds an extra touch of the authenticity to the whole atmosphere. What I found interesting was the choice of songs playing in the background. For example, 98 Degrees and Backstreet Boys ! These songs certain brought back some memories indeed.
  
  (1) Salad of smoked trout, brie, mango & baby greens
  A very refreshing salad especially with the diced mango on top. The tofu like rectangular looking thing was the brie and in terms of texture and flavors, it was rather ... humm ... interesting when eating it together with the mango. The same applies when eating the mango with the smoked trout. In my opinion, there was too much of a contrast in flavors when eating the so-called main ingredients together.
  
  (2) Manila Clams
  (in white wines, cream & parley sauce) The sauce was great, not too creamy and very rich in flavor. A lot of places tend to pour too much white wine during the making of the sauce, causing it overly strong with the wine flavor. Thumbs up on the sauce. However, the clams were a bit disappointing for me. For the few that I tried, they were not very fresh based on my experiences with seafood, both raw and cooked.
  
  (3) Baked Portobella mushroom
  Contrary to my expectation, nothing special about this dish. The flavor of the mushroom was a bit too salty and texture wise it very dry; definitely over-baked. Thumbs down. Very disappointing.
  
  (4) Slow-baked oxtail risotto
  Flavors were rich and it was great. The shredded oxtail were soft and tender. However, the risotto was overcooked. While it was creamy, the texture of the rice was too soft and lacked the chewy texture to it. Also, it was slightly too salty.
  
  (5) Oven Roasted Long Bone Beef Short Ribs
  Wow. When it was served, we all shouted "wow" together because it was huge! It was close to 48oz at least. Now I know why the words "Long Bone" were there on the menu. What a Ironic name tough, Long Bone ... Short Ribs ! Good that we were sharing this otherwise there was just no ways any one of us can finish it. We ordered it medium and medium it was. It was well roasted and the salt & spices were applied very evenly as well. Even the outer layer of the short ribs remained relatively tender after being roasted for a while. A well prepared dish and we all enjoyed it very much. A note of caution, in order to cut through this short ribs, prepare to use a lot of energy because I think it took me more effort than to cut a turkey!
  
  (6) French Fries
  Fries were freshly prepared and it came in a tin can similar to the Press Room. It came with ketchup and some gravy which was a nice touch. If they can be lighter on the salt it would be even better. I liked it but not as much as those from the Press Room. I personally prefer thinner fries. Potato wedge, on the other hand, is another story because I don't consider them fries. Wedges are Wedges !
  
  (7) Mango-passion fruit & coconut trifle
  An interesting dessert with Honey-Lemongrass sorbet on top. I really liked the sorbet because I like lemongrass and the sorbet has a very rich flavor of it as well. The jello-like texture of the orange and white layers were of mango and passion fruits flavors respectively. I could not really taste the coconut, likely due to the rich mango flavor. Together with the honey lemongrass sorbet, it was a very refreshing dessert on such a hot summer night.
  
  (8) Creme brulee
  It was surprisingly well prepared. Not too rich with the vanilla flavor and not too thick / creamy with its texture. The caramelized layer on top was evenly done and was crisp through out the whole dish. Not bad at all.

  Good Food

  janas | May 11 2009

  the lamb shank and pumpkin risotto are very good! though the house wine is so so...better get a beer. basically the food is very good there. but the environment is quite crowded, not much space between tables.

  balljaii | Mar 31 2009

  Food is extremely appealing and the dessert there is pretty good. However the service there is not as good as we thought as most waiters seemed kind of unresponsive most of the time.
