Artifact — Restaurant in Hong Kong

I am only able to review the bar as I didn't dine in for the food or the full meal experience. Firstly, very pricey for the cocktails, one drink can easily set you back HKD150/170 (that's before the 10% service charge). I can understand the high price for the location, but there should be extra value or zing behind the whole experience. Whilst the atmosphere was unique, it was extremely noisy and busy on a Friday night, so quite difficult to have a conversation with friends without raising our voices. For such prices, we would have expected some complimentary bar snacks. The cocktails are well presented, but too sweet and the combinations are a bit off. I ordered the Normandie Sting, which unfortunately, I immediately regretted upon the first sip. It was was completely smothered in ice, to the point that it felt like the glass was going to freeze. The other drinks were ok and not too...

A very nice bar hidden in the basement of the BaseHall food court. I like the vibe where it’s not overly noisy and you can comfortably chat. The menu is really cute, i like the design and it makes you want to try everything on there.

All the staffs are very attentive and give very good recommendation. I’m very happy with all the drinks. The flavour matches the description on the menu and i like the complexity and the creativity. My favorite will be New York Sour, it’s a well crafted interpretation of a peanut butter and jam sandwich! Delicious! It’ll be perfect if there’s some sort of complementary snacks to go with the drinks, even nuts will be nice as the price point is not cheap.

Before we have to give back the table, a young bartender offers us a free shot. A lovely wrap up to the night.

I’ll come back again because i really want to try...

Found this place via Timeout.

Service staff were not well coordinated, with multiple staff offering to give us an introduction of the menu consecutively. Staff could be more welcoming and friendlier, personally felt rushed to finished my drinks seeing 2-3 of them consistently walking beside our table and looking to clear glasses (there were only 2-3 other groups).

Drinks were interesting and creative yes, but execution with garnishes and ingredients could be better well done. Etc. my drink came with a chocolate bar but it was a rather large piece to eat in one go, with nowhere to place it on if I wanted to snack on it throughout. Enjoying my drink then didn’t feel as intuitive as one would expect.

Drink prices aren’t cheap either at close to 170...
