Special dishes: Stone grill!

Review: The gimmic is of course stone grill which is fun but not necessary the best way to cook. The sauces are quite good though. If you have not tried before, it is worth a visit.

Special dishes: Revolving sushi bar

Review: This is a new restaurant (opened at the end of Mar 2005). Food is decent, sushi looks very fresh. Not bad for a place for lunch in Central. Not many 'table' since most people sit around the revolving sushi bar.

Review: We tried pigeon, quail, lobster bisque, wild mushroom cappacinno. Didn't try wine or dessert (very full already). The food is very good. A bit pricy. Worth trying though, try to get a seat by the window or one of those circular seats. The waitress praise the chef for creativity. Good find out yourself

Review: Part of the Va Bene Group, Isola is a new restaurant located at the IFC mall 2. We were invited to a pre-lauch tasting evening. The arugula salad is a traditional Italian vegetable, Hong Kongers may find it a bit bitter, the lobster salad was fresh and nice. We had minestrone soup, the vegetables were soft, the soup was tasty and it is a clearer soup than most minestrone which tends to use a lot of tomato. We had a pizza with shrimp and white beans, large/thin pizza, we had the hand-twisted pasta with tasty ham, the pasta was very chewy. The roast-beef with onion was very delicious too. Finally, the dessert plate includes cheese cake, tiramisu, lemon cream with peach marinated with red-wine, we all loved the desserts.
