Review:
We had oysters (gigas + island pacific). I prefer island pacific for the creamy texture. Potato Leek soup, Escargot, Lobster pasta. White wine: L&E Blanc Bordeaux. Classic atmosphere, something like an old french restaurant with high ceiling. It's quiet before 8:30pm on Saturday. We enjoyed this meal very much. As the name suggests, it has good seafood selection on the menu. Wine list is so so.

Review:
One of my favourite Jap restaurants in town. Lunch is very good deal. Set dinner around $350(8 courses)/$500(10 courses)/$800(special). All sashimi are fresh and yummy. The oyster is excellent. I think the set menu is a bit over priced.

Fresh sushi, big lunch menu portion. Usually very full and need advance booking if you want a table, otherwise, you can sit at the bar table. A good choice for having lunch in Causeway Bay.

We had lobster and lamb which were very tasty. The restaurant is pretty good but not in a good location of the shopping mall, thus not a lot of customer (unfortunately).

Nice decoration, pretty good food, I had vegetable soup, shrimp and pumpkin risotto with some wine. The place is expensive even at lunch, dinner must be even more so...

D and I's Review:
Now owned by a Japanese lady who makes very delicious French cakes, we have tried at least 5 types over 2 visits. The cakes went well with tea, coffee or other drinks. I particularly like the interior design of this cafe. It is a good place to meet friends. The only drawback is not enough snacks, come here only for desserts and drinks.

D and I's Review:
Introduced by friends of ours who really know where to find excellent food. Not a well known restaurant nor is it at a popular spot (in fact, it is rather hard to find). The fusion food is really delicious, creative and cooked with heart. The husband and wife team are very keen chef who are also photographer and journalist. The normal menu is good deal (dishes below $100), but you can create your own menu by pre-ordering.
