Frommer's Highly Recommended
No expense was spared, it seems, in designing this chic, airy restaurant with its wood inlaid floor, authentic Art Deco trimmings (many imported from the U.S. and Europe), and open kitchen serving cuisines of China, Japan, Thailand, India, the U.S., and Italy. In the evening (except Sun), diners are treated to live jazz. All this is secondary, however, to the restaurant's real attraction -- surreal views of Hong Kong. That alone is reason enough for dining here, though some of the view has been stolen by the Peak Tower. To assure a ringside window seat, make reservations for the second floor at least 2 weeks in advance, emphasizing that you don't want your view obstructed by the Peak Tower, or opt for one of the outdoor tables, which are often easier to get. The food, designed to appeal to visitors from around the world, is an eclectic mix of international dishes and ingredients, including tandoori kabobs and dishes, Asian noodles, sushi, grilled steaks, pizzas, create-your-own pastas, an oyster bar, soups, and salads. The salads are generous enough for two to share (the house salad is exceptionally good), but main dishes occasionally fall short of expectations. I suppose what you're really paying for here is the view. A children's play corner keeps the wee ones occupied.
