Wineshark Macau Restaurant Review - Copa

Located in Sands Macau, Copa is an American steakhouse which got some cozy big sofa table on the two sides and more standard tables in the middle. Unfortunately for us, those on the sides were all booked so the four of us were seated at a fairly small table near the kitchen door. Nevertheless it was still quite comfortable.

I ordered a bottle of Portuguese red to pair with the food on the night, Domini Plus from Fonseca, which got a powerful palate. Regarding food the starter for me is Pan-fried Crab Cake, which is very well prepared with a crispy skin and a nice tartare sauce to accompany.

Ivy and her sister went for Lobster Bisque while my brother-in-law had a Mushroom Soup with Truffle. Both the soups were very good, rich and certainly setting the stage for the coming main dish.

On the main dish I had the American Kurobuta Pork Chop, with Garlic Mushrooms on the side. Although I told the waiter not to cut the pork chop, somehow they mistakenly did that. The taste and seasoning of the pork chop was quite good, though it was a bit dried up, probably because it was cut into pieces before serving.

Ivy and her sister had the Filet Mignon because of the smaller portion, but asked to have the steak in medium well, resulting in the meat being a bit too dried up also. My brother-in-law had the Rib Eye Steak instead and his was the best on the night, with the outside roasted perfectly while keeping the meat tender and juicy.

For dessert I had the Chocolate Lava Cake. Certainly very sweet but it was not a surprise considering it is an American steakhouse. The molten chocolate is definitely a textbook production, pairing with the vanilla ice-cream it brought a good satisfaction for the night.

The others had the Classic Creme Brulee and Grand Marnier Souffle. Both are appropriately done and a nice wrap up on the meal too.

Service was decent but the waiters were not too forthcoming in asking us on the food and explaining to us the dishes. But again for a steakhouse it might not be unexpected. The bill totaled $3,244 which was quite good price considering we had a three-course dinner and a bottle of wine.

My overall rating is 68/100.
