    While the food and view was quite great, my friends and I were unfortunately discriminated against. Upon arrival my friends and I approached the resturant, we were greeted with friendly faces and offered to be seated in the dining area for an early dinner. But as we began to walk towards the stairs to have our dinner, the senior manager at the counter approached us saying we were not properly dressed. At first we were understanding and made the decision to change our clothes, so we left briefly and bought proper attire. When we returned they hesitantly sat us down, sitting us in a area in the bar with the supposed intention of us eventually being seated for dinner. But as we waited we finally came to the realization that we were not even being considered for a seat. After repeatedly asking about our table they eventually made the effort to find us a place. What made all of this even more intolerable was the fact that there were a multitude of people dressed as we were when we were told our attire was inappropriate for the venue, all of which happened to be of the caucasian race. Aside from this there were a few who were very cordial and helpful in our visit (primarily one waitress at the bar area and the serving staff at the dining area). Ignoring the considerations of our actual service, the resturant was great. We tried a variety of the drinks (wines and signature concoctions) and a multitude of meal items. They were all skillfully made and tasted great, but sadly were tainted by poor interactions with some of the staff. For someone looking for a good meal at a price with a great view, I would recommend this place, but be wary of some of the staff as they seem to have quite the bias, and have lead me to rank the resturant relatively poorly.

    Nice rooftop bar. Happy hour 3pm to 9pm. Views are great though most of the seats are so low that you can’t see across the bar let alone across the city. Better to stand. Try and get the elevator with the glass side up.

    $588 for free flow brunch, what a great value if u drink more than 4 drinks that would worth it! U can choose champagne/white/red/beer/cocktails/non alcoholic. u can choose one main from the menu. all the other appetisers will be served. Food is yum, view is excellent. They also have live singer when we visit. A must go for brunch in Hong Kong!

    An exceptional vue with a great service and fantastic food. The ideal evening is to start with a drink on the rooftop, while admiring the lights of Hong Kong and to pursue with dinner, in the restaurant. Food is really exceptional, the wine list very rich and everything is served with a smile. The room is not very noisy and this is yet another good point.

    This was a choice I did not regret. At first I was trying to find a place for an important reunion with a good friend of mine. I knew I wanted a view but I also wanted a big plate of good food. A view accompanied with amazing food, quite hard to do depending on your taste. After quite a few searches I came to the CÉ LA VI Hong Kong. They had a stunning view at a good price point. Upon arrival to the California tower, I was unsure how to get up there since most of the lifts only headed up to the 24th floor but it was suggested to be on the 25 by the map. Until i was guided to the right lift. Upon arrival I was greeted by the staff at a small desk placed between the stairs that led down to the restaurant and the bar. They handed me a tag so that I can pick up my umbrellas after my meal. The decor of the restaurant is quite elegant, the lights are dimmed to create this feel of coziness. The staff were very professional and the food was amazing. They had a Sake specifically made for their restaurant that was quite good. Their beef espcially blew me away. I had a well made 1KG rib-eye that was sliced nicely before served and a beautifully cooked filet mignon that completely blew my mind. The bok choy that was served with it had a nice roasted scent to it too. Based on my experience I would definitely come back and try all their other dishes next time. They also has a roof top lounge but it was closed due to the gloomy uncertain weather. But if you are ever looking for some good food accompanied by the city lights of Hong Kong, I would highly reccomend bring a date or a friend over!

    Came for dessert after dinner at Fumi, the Japanese restaurant a few floors below. Great views and the desserts were excellent. Will try a full dinner next time.

    Amazing rooftop bar with yummy cocktails. Expect to pay $20 USD per cocktail... but it’s worth it... because you know what you’re getting.

    Views - 2 thumbs up, on 25Floor, nice music Drinks & Food - reasonably priced given its location and views (though tons of places offer better drinks for half the price). Happy hour drinks quality are bland and very weak; nothing to rave about. Food average, ripped off Recommendation - come here only for views.

    Only went for drinks on the rooftop, which were great with the 2 for 1 happy hour special on beer. Cocktails are good too. Provides great views of the city, but not of the symphony of lights.

    I spent hours at this rooftop bar drinking cocktails and eating food! It was phenomenal service, spectacular views and great atmosphere. Highly recommend if you visit Hong Kong.
