晚上到朋友家拜年及晚飯後, 我們便返回港島, 想一試四季的咖啡廳. 原來四季酒店"暫時"(不知至何時) 沒有coffee shop, The Lounge門前的職員解釋他們也有西餅, 甜品, 和咖啡等．
我叫了一個Dark Chocolate Torte with Walnut, 沒有普通的蘋果批, 老公有點失望, 要了個Cheesecake及English Tea.
鍾情朱古力又愛甜的我, 這個Dark Chocolate Torte我竟然吃不下全碟, 有點膩．Cheesecake只是普通, 個Crust不脆, 有點濕, 和Mandarin Oriental Hotel (前文華酒店)的西餅及甜點比, 實在相差太遠．記憶中, Dark Chocolate Torte $90, Cheesecake $80, 一點也不值．
這裡氣氛過靜, 又太幽暗, 爵士樂隊的表演很不錯, 但彌補不了食物的質素. 景觀只是中環對出碼頭, 由於只是地下, 沒有什麼風景可言．
唯一特別的是, 洗手間旁竟然有個渣打銀通提款機, 但昨日機件固障．
四季酒店是堂堂一間六星級酒店, 在海外的四季酒店大都很華麗, 但這間則完全沒有氣勢. 門口的噴水池不是很小, 但站在數米外是不能看見水的, 和半島酒店相比, 會令人失笑.
結論是, 這個Lounge不去也沒有損失, 其他餐廳及中菜廳則不得而知了.
還是懷念文華酒店, 不知道八個月後, Cafe 及 Clipper Lounge 還會否保留.

the pianist wasn't there that nite... maybe i just didn't notice. i saw the bass... but no one was playing the piano.
yes, the ATM machine was quite funny. never saw such thing next to restrooms. those restrooms are just next to the lounge, not for the lobby i guess.
On the other hand, I must say I also waiting for 文華 to wake up again. I heard that out of all the restaurant, they would keep all but one restaurant/bar. I can't remember which one they are planning to take out. Hopefully not the Grill room and then Coffee Shop. I don't mind them to take out one of the bars, they are too much places to smoke cigar in the building anyway.
huh, i missed mandarin grill too! a lot of romantic memories there... love the steaks and desserts there... my family spent a few christmas days at clipper lounge, and my husband and i love the cafe! hmm...
I also think that Mandarin Grill serves the best steak in Hong Kong. Better than Morton and Ruth Chris or Steak House (Inter-Con).
i also like the steaks at morton's and ruth chris. different atmospheres. my husband went to M and RC in SF, much cheaper than in HK. he said (forget which one he mentioned) the steaks at one of them is very very bad, and the other one is very good.
