4 stars for service and atmosphere 3 stars for food. It looks better than it tastes. But the service was really good. The lady opened a new bottle of wine for us when we said the glass she poured tasted stale. Then the manager asked of the shrimp was too spicy or not, and offered to change it for us. Nice outdoor seating, but gotta go inside the plaza and up 1 level for bathroom.

Great location, nice setting, interesting drinks but food is a big let down. Located at TST East across the Star of Avenue. There's outdoor seating to enjoy the harbour view on a nice day. We like the industrial decor and interesting lighting and details. The outdoor lounges and fountain are a bonus. Cocktail list is original and well presented. At around HKD110-150, they should be more generous in the amount of spirit to be served nonetheless. Food is a big let down. The portion is generous but cannot be described as authentic Spanish whatsoever. It feels like a heavy an unfortunate local adaptation. The deep fried calamari and chicken nuggets are OK but are pub food standard. The duck cigar should be called a duck spring roll. Croquette and kimchi seem to be a misfit. Pizza base tastes frozen. Chorizo are dry and way too salty. Pink sauce Penne is heavy and uninspiring. The prawn paella has no crust and lack flavours. There's simply no magic or Spanish flair or passion in the food. More the shame given the lovely setting and location! We may consider coming back for a drink and to enjoy the ambience. But might be hesitant to do so given the price of the drinks. The food though, can be so much better.

The risotto and salad were quite good The batter on the calamari was quite flaky and didn’t stick to the meat. The steak was quite well done. The milk shake was good. Beers took some time to arrive to our table...

Enjoyed a good dinner and location is great! I ordered some chorizo, croquettes and risotto. The portions were generous and the food relatively tasty; they could improve on seasoning. The service was good and staff friendly. Location is great, walking distance from the water front and stunning view on Hong Kong Island. Music was a little too loud for my own taste,

Food and drinks excellent. Good view of hk. Nice relaxing spot to sit in (but don’t wear a short skirt, the outdoor chairs are so difficult to get in and out of). Excellent service and the prawns 🍤 were delicious
