This steakhouse is located in Grant Hyatt Hong Kong in Wanchai. Taking the private lift up, the staff greeted us warmly and showed us to the table. The dim lighting of the restaurant offers a cozy, relaxing atmosphere and seated at a booth seating, the ambiance is comfortable yet intimate.
After ordering a Manhattan ($150) to start, we were served some garlic breads which were freshly out of oven, with the garlic and butter rich and fragrant.
We decided to have the signature Maryland Crab Cake ($330) to share as our appetizer. This is truly my favorite on the night, and one of the best crab cakes I have tasted for quite a while, with great seasoning and the abundance of crab meat. The remoulade sauce is also fantastic, perfectly matching with the crab cake, with good creamy smoothness and the right level of acidity too. A must try in my opinion.
Next we had the soups, with me going for New Zealand Clam Chowder ($180) while my wife opted for Lobster Bisque ($220). Served steaming hot, I like the temperature of the soup, with the clam chowder rich and filling, having lots of clams, finely diced potato, onion and also some lobster meat. Adding the croutons further supplemented with a crunchy bite to make the soup even more appealing. A good one.
Coming to the main course I had Iberico Pork Chop ($390) cooked to medium well, while my wife had Patagonian Toothfish ($380). I sampled a bit of the fish, which is miso glazed and got a nice texture and sweetness, but the fish is a bit oily as it is supposed to be, so bear in mind if you are not a big fan. The pork chop is nicely grilled with balsamic, but somehow I found it a bit too dry. Not sure because it was cut up already when served so the juice had seeped out already, but perhaps left in a single piece will help to keep it more moist? Anyway the seasoning is good and I in particular enjoyed the grilled peppers. We also had Sauteed Seasonal Mushrooms ($90) and Sweet Potato Fries ($90) on the side and both were good too. I found the roasted red bell pepper dip a pleasant surprise for the fries and very delicious.
Already very full as everything is in good portion, we decided to order the Steakhouse Sundae to share, opting for Strawberry Romanoff ($85). Even for this single-serving the size is good for two in my opinion, with the soft, rich and flavorful vanilla ice-cream, served together with pieces of strawberries, an abundance of strawberry sauce, then added with some Grand Marnier and whipped cream on top. A rewarding finish to the meal, and prompted me to want to return to try some of their other sundaes.
Service was good, with the staff friendly and attentive, and the restaurant is actually very big with different sections so if you have preference like sitting at bar counter, the cozy booth, the wine room, or the main dining section featuring lots of arts, you might want to let the restaurant know beforehand.
The bill was $2,200 which is reasonable considering the food quality, service and the overall dining experience, and if you want a good place to enjoy some nice cut of meat, this one is a good choice.
