"the place is nicely furnished with pop and fun arts. they serve alcohol and with happy hour promotion. quite a lot to pick from the menu. we had the fried chicken wings, octopus then the steak, all were very good. it's a causal and light vibes here which enabled us to relax and chill. just the seats are placed too closed so felt packed and not easy to move around. and when the food came, there wasn't enough space. but we're still happy to come again in causeway bay if we want a good dinner. more travel ideas, photos & videos follow me on ig: food.n.cats.not1less"

"Sooooo clever. I love the idea of this place, and I love the sense of humor of the theme. The ribeye was very mediocre, but the lobster bisque was good. The atmosphere made up for it. I’m still chuckling over the wall when you first walk in."
