Fodor's Review:

Even if culinary legend Alain Ducasse is not exactly presiding over this kitchen, his inspiration is felt at this sleek restaurant, especially in preparations such as steamed foie gras, which balances the richness of seared foie gras with the resilience of a cold terrine de foie gras. Despite the odd Asian flavor (seaweed pesto and shiitake mushrooms), the menu is contemporary French, liberally employing lobster, truffle, and other luxury ingredients with a keen sense of balance. The best, if priciest, way to go is the multicourse tasting menu. The tables overlooking the harbor provide a romantic setting—or reserve the kitchen-side chef's table for a completely different experience.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

If you are stretching your budget a bit for a really special night out this place is too inconsistent to take the risk. Go to Caprice, Amber, Robouchon or Chez Patrick instead.

I went to Spoon Hong Kong last night. There was no mix and match thing as described above where you choose an entree a sauce and a vegetable. The menu was French with Asian influences and the food was disgusting. We had red tuna with satay sauce and the sauce was of the quality you would get in a dai pai dong (greasy spoon). Wagyu beef came with a nasty sweet sauce. Foie gras had bitter green leaves with it and another sweet sauce - too sweet even for foie gras. It was shocking. Really bad. What a rip off.
