    Good crab cake and lobster soup. Steak not as good as expected, the cut is too thin and thus feels a bit dry. Standard cream brûlée The service was great The view is quite good as well

    Fine dining environment, floor to ceiling windows, great service. However the rooftop bar / terrace is closed (since COVID) and no longer part of the restaurant. Order a land meat, beef or lamb, something grilled. We tried the fish (cod) and a tuna salmon tartare appetizer, both of which were underwhelming. Considering the price point, one would expect the meats to be seared to perfection and the beef and lamb are both more forgiving.

    Best rooftop of the most impressive city of the world (at least it was nor far ago). It is a Must in HK. The ambience is always nice and it is a perfect place to go with friends to enjoy the nightlife of the city. The food is not bad but the best is to have there a drink listening the modern techno music of the Dj. Perfect match with terrific views of the city.

    Only worth it if you are sitting by the windowto get the view, quality of meat very ordinary, not worthy of the price unless you want to impress people.

    I went during Sunday lunch to try out this place that popped up in Google Maps with a good rating. It sits on top (31st floor) of this building in Wan Chai with partial view of the harbor. The ambiance is nice and good for a pleasant meeting. I went in wearing t-shirt, shorts, and sneakers with no problem. I selected the set lunch. Portions were on the smaller size. Food were just okay and bit salty for my taste. Salad was perfect with right acidity but steak came bit rare for my requested “medium” doneness. Hot coffee was strong but not good, although the accompanying milk was served warm in the way I prefer. In the end, the atmosphere is pleasant thus making up some deficiencies in food.

    Best view of Hong-Kong, good drinks and well priced compared to the other rooftops... This is the best rooftop in Hong-Kong hands down. The rooftop is just above the steakhouse restaurant

  • 4/5 Vonawsomo 4 years ago on Google
    Expensive but a really lovely view of HK.

  • 4/5 Anonymous U. 4 years ago on Google
    I understand that most of the reviews here are for the views from the Rooftop Bar, which are spectacular. Definitely check it out for amazing views of certain parts of the city. We had dinner right before going to the roof and though the steak was pretty good, I can’t say it was amazing. I requested my steak to be cooked “Medium” and it came out bright red rare. That was disappointing. The sides are good, as is everything else. But the steak, supposedly what this restaurant is known for, left much to be desired :(

    Yummy cocktails.

  • 4/5 Vincent L. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious food and good services. On 31/F of the building, the view is spectacular, so try to request for window-sde table when making a reservation. If weather is good, go up the stairs and have a drink at the rooftop, really nice.

    (Translated by Google) The view is valid all evening, for the rest, I would say in tourism standards, without infamy and without praise (Original) La vista vale tutta la sera, per il resto,direi negli standard turistici,senza infamia e senza lode

  • 5/5 Eve L. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited for holiday brunch ($248 excluding service charge) Very reasonable price to enjoy steak on weekend. Located 31F, view is really nice as well.

  • 5/5 Petter A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great steaks, amazing views of Hong Kong. Really big servings on a la carte menu, will be back to try the lunch menu. Reservations recommended

  • 1/5 Julien C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location and rooftop, but you mostly pay for the view - not for the food or drinks. I ordered the a-la-carte filet mignon steak, it was slightly overcooked and the béarnaise sauce solidified (supposed to be a smooth and creamy texture). Not very acceptable for this price range. The service isn’t perfect and needs a bit of improvements (e.g. the waiters requested a few times to remove the bread and the plates while we didn’t finish). The wine list is quite basic and lower-end, I would suggest to add more diversity and singularity into it.

    Great steak and great views! The ambiance at night is good for romantic dinner or for group of friends.

  • 5/5 Max B. 2 years ago on Google
    We tried the wagyu and premium ribeye. Despite requesting these be cooked medium and rare respectively, we got steaks that were cooked medium rare and medium, which was weird and shows a lack of attentiveness. The steaks were very tasty though!

  • 5/5 eileen w. 3 years ago on Google
    Have a great dinner with window seats, perfect and nice harbour views, friendly staff with a great service . Appetizers, steaks and desserts were delicious.

  • 2/5 Alan T. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice ambience and good view of the surroundings. Food is excellent. The waitress was insufficient trained and is way below expectations. When the waitress opened a bottle of wine for me to taste, she spilled the wine on my table cloth and on my pants but she was oblivious of the situation. I was very disappointed. Fortunately, I was not wearing coat & tie or I would be very annoyed with the situation. My other friend who was sitting next to me has to bear with water dripping down from the aircon from the ceiling. This is not a cheap restaurant but the waitress was not properly trained and neither was the restaurant aware of the dripping water from the ceiling. My feeling is that they knew about the situation but just couldn't be bothered by it.

    This place delivered on its name! 👌👌Really enjoyed every dish, especially Beef Wellington. Place is small and intimate, great for dates.

  • 3/5 Kevin 1 year ago on Google
    Food was fine but service could use some more attention to detail. We ordered the surf and turf set which includes several courses and drink. Waiters never came to take our drink order even after dessert arrived. We only realized the missing order (which was paid for) after we left the restaurant which was too late by then.

  • 5/5 Hugh W. 1 year ago on Google
    Here's how you do it: Seafood Starters (maybe a dry white wine to go with it). Mains: Get a full bodied Australian red to get things moving. Australian red wines and steak are a match made in heaven. Depending on number of people, try order 2 different cuts of meat. Make sure at least 1 is cooked Chicago style which has that nice char on the outside. Anything more than medium rare (maybe get away with medium) and you shouldn't be at a steak house. Unless you like seafood starters only. Sides? They don't have a bad one so just get what you like. Desert: I've only ever had the coffee and extra glass of red so roll the dice yourself. I'm sure it will be good.

    This is my third time as well as the last time visiting this restaurant as the service quality has deteriorated to an unbearable, disrespectful, and extremely disappointing level. First of all, food was fantastic, the view, the design & the vibe in this restaurant are definitely spot-on. However, the service from the staff - or a particular staff is totally intolerable. Examples as below: (1) I've left message in google reservation and called to confirm with staff a day before the visit that we are to celebrate a friend's birthday and expecting a cake with hand writing on the plate - yet the staff in the restaurant didn't seem to communicate on this beforehand, and I needed to repeat again and again, or to spell the name to make sure this will be processed. (2) When the cake came in, it's a bit awkward as usually in other restaurants the staff will at least say happy birthday or give a smile. The staff here simply dropped the plate - literally dropped it, lit the candle and went away without a single word. (3) Water glass is always empty. A guy came over to refill but the water spilled everywhere, the table was flooded - not just one case as it happened multiple times. Again, no word no subsequent action. Just faded away as nothing was wrong. (4) When getting the bill, I had a question on the still water on the bill - not to challenge or refuse to pay, it's simply a bottle of water and I just wanted to double check - but the staff (the same one who refilled our glasses) simply repeated "it's still" "tap, still sparkling, it's the still" - to be honest the tone was not that pleasant. I fully respect everyone who spent tremendous efforts working in this restaurant and providing services. I truly don't want to see one or two staff damaging all the endeavors & credibility built by the whole team. Not only myself but my friends who came with me felt disrespected by this kind of attitude. We chose this restaurant because they trusted my dining experience here and we were supposed to give our friend a warm celebration. If Wooloomooloo considers itself as a place of this class, I will never step in again in my life. For those viewers who cares about service, even if just a little bit of it, please lower your expectation first before making your reservation - just a kind reminder.

    As a first nation people I found it very rude the way they try and use our art of story telling in their design. As for the meal well not sure what they are trying to do but very cold and in Australian. Over priced and you even have to pay the USA service charge for a service you don't get

  • 5/5 daniel 8 months ago on Google
    Delicious juicy steak with great appetiser and amazing view of Victoria harbour, Kowloon and Hong Kong island. Best steak you can get in wan chai

  • 1/5 Aaron H. 5 months ago on Google
    What a shame, rooftop apparently closed "forever". We even bumped into a few other tourists who remembered this place and wanted to go to the same place. No explanation given, but save yourselve the time if this is the reason why you're coming here.

    Promotion set dinner is good value of money! Spectacular view from restaurant and the bar upstairs. Food and service can be improved.

  • 4/5 Timmy Chi-Chun C. 4 years ago on Google
    A good fine dining experience yet expectations were higher than the actual food served. Steaks we ordered were good; just reached expectation but didn’t surprise us at all. Beef Wellington was surprisingly good tho. Normally I’d give this quality a 5 star, but the waiters have served the wrong dish to the wrong guest multiple times. At a regular restaurant I wouldn’t mind, but I think this should be something basic at a place like wooloomooloo steakhouse. Appetizers were acceptable as well, not disappointing but also not amazed. The desserts were a delight tho! Especially Rum Baba, one should give it a try if one likes sth refreshing with a sip of rum down the throat. Overall I’d suggest one to try another place for fine dining, yet most of my friends say wooloomooloo prime at TST is much better. Perhaps I’d try the other shop next time.

  • 4/5 Ian H. 4 years ago on Google
    The views are fantastic from the restaurant. I ordered the wooloomooloo steak medium rare and when it came it was hard and dry so I had to send it back. Although they got it right the second time it is still disappointing for a steak restaurant to get this wrong. The food itself (steak, sides, dessert) was good.

  • 5/5 Lucy L. 5 years ago on Google
    Spectacular view with high quality food. Lunch sets are great value for money. Dessert is absolutely impressive.

  • 4/5 K E. 3 years ago on Google
    Great view With a alfresco bar at the top of the building, drinks and food are not special; the price you paid mainly go to the view

  • 4/5 Sergio J. 5 years ago on Google
    Good food. I order the Menu. Salad,Meet,dessert!! I liked. The service compare other restaurants i went was better but not good enough! The view is very nice!!! I recommend!

  • 2/5 Geoff C. 3 years ago on Google
    Overall a good set lunch experience - *except* felt very deceived hence the 2 star rating. We booked a ‘lunch promotion’ through HK Restaurant Week. As it turns out, this promotion is exactly the same menu but *more* expensive than the normal set lunch. I never would have known until I asked to see their lunch menu (it was not offered to me as an option.) To the management: Please do not use a festival such as HK Restaurant Week to simply try and increase your revenue. It is deceitful and you have lost my trust. Additionally... fish portion in fish and chips was embarrassingly small. ie two pieces the size of your thumbs. Otherwise, lunch steak was good. Starter Caesar salad was small but tasty.

    I attended an afternoon wedding party here. Good food and fine weather. Staffs pulled a long face but generally they were friendly. I love the steak most (but I forgot to take a photo of it).

    Value for money weekday lunch sets around HK$148-168 with appetizer, main course and tea or coffee. Squid ink pasta with seafood had just the right amount of lobster sauce without over-saltiness. Quiet view of sea and Happy Valley racecourse. Extra attention to English tea with teapot and 2 teabags.
