Village Voice: Try the unbelievable goat cheese cheesecake with poached figs and quince marmalade, which is a delicious twist to a classic dessert.
Michael Cooper: Unique and great cocktails. The bread with trio is a must! Hummus of course the best. This is by far one of the best places on 10th ave in HK. Worth a visit and a repeat visit!

Brad Ritter: Got a grilled octopus starter and a lamb orichiette, both between 2 people and the were plenty and delicious. Couple with dessert and and (relatively) cheap montepulciano made for tasty dinner
Jeremy Davis: Get the Bruschetta Ai Funghi to start. It. Does. Not. Disappoint.
Mandar M: Just wait for the free bread if you are ordering an entree, it comes with garlic tonatoes - you can make your own bruschetta!
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: Afternoon tea here is a great way to decompress after a hectic day and the views are equally awesome. Alongside with tea, scones or macarons they'll additionally serve chips, nuts and kimchi pancakes
Lindsay: Not staying at the hotel? If they tell you there's a wait, just say that you finished dining at Asiate. You'll get a table in a snap. Otherwise, prepare to wait with the masses.
Candace Chang: Great view of Columbus Circle, perfect for afternoon tea on a Sunday. Really impressed with the ginger scones and the Oolong tea pairing. Love the spaciousness and high windows

Adam Falkson: They offer very unique pairings with their cheeses. Stuff like white chocolate and green tea fudge and marshmallows with beet dust. Delicious.
Serious Eats: Pig's Ass Sandwich: Thin shavings of Fiscalini Cheddar, nutty Fol Epi, and, er, pig's ass, with house-made bread and butter pickles whose bright crunch lightens each bite. Read more.
Nikki Beauchamp: I have this endearing (or annoying) need to try Mac and cheese anywhere I see it on the menu, it rocks here, and start with the crostini- fab selection of wines , great catch up spot with friends!
