SEVVA

One of the most popular bar cum restaurants of Hong Kong… known for both its food and its views… at the top of the Princess building right in the middle of Central this restuarant gives you a stunning view of the Hong Kong harbour… the terrace is a great selfie point. The interiors are just superb… you will be amazed. Food and presentation are both nice… their cocktails are also very famous. limited options for the vegetarians but still offers you some choices… we went for the 4 course set dinner menu … let me know how was your experience

Sevva is officially closing. Last day of operation is 17th April 2024. Thanks for showing the world the best view of Hong Kong the past decade. Here is the place I usually bring my vendors or frds from abroad, and all of them are so exciting once arriving this rooftop bar when seeing the extraordinary view of Hong Kong. It’s hard to say goodbye but you will be missed.

mainly going for the view. no doubt. cocktail is good, & my fav Irish coffee is great... rare in town nowadays

Good outdoor view, good services, good cocktails-order Glow, trust me and you will like this! Catch the precious moment with my friends and remember the golden ages of Central ⭐️

Top floor at Prince Building- SEVVA . Classy cosy decorations. Good good ! Loves their service ! Knowing that they will be closing down in the end of March. It will be missed.

Cocktails are lovely with loads to choose from. The view is absolutely incredible (I’d say one of the best views) however cocktails are expensive and service isn’t as attentive but always lots of staff walking around.

Well.. always wanna go after back to HK. Long time haven’t been to this place. Vibe is completely different. Still beautifully decorated like before. However, we were given a table just right next to one which was occupied by 6 guests already. We could hear their talks and laughs as the dining venue is so empty! (Only 2 tables including us) We requested to change to a better one after 15 min. Food is ok. We had crispy chicken and lamb rack as the main course. However sauce is the soul of any dish, hardly providing but just serving a tiny jar of mint sauce without much flavor to go with the lamb. They gave you ready-made mustard when asked. Price you paid is for the location and environment. In the midst of our dinner at 2130, we were asked to pay first as they will close at 2200. Food : 3 , considering the asked price Services : 3 Price : 2 considering the food offer and services received Location and environment: 5

Delicious BBQ Wagyu Ribs in a very hip, stylish restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere. Seating was comfortable with gorgeous panoramic views of the Hong Kong skyline from a wrap around rooftop terrace. The staff was both friendly and deeply attentive. The wide variety of dishes were all priced on the very high side but food quality, taste and ambience completely made up for it. Overall well worth the experience!

The wide variety of dishes were all priced on the very high side but food quality, taste and ambience completely made up for it. Overall well worth the experience!

Amazing view (both day and night) but the food and drinks were not that impressive. I'd still recommend this place, as it's a pleasant spot with comfortable seating, great view and friendly staff - just don't have high expectations on the food.

This review is purely based on my experience at the bar and rooftop area. Sevva is fairly upscale, yet casual rooftop bar located in Central District. The views from above are excellent! On one side you can see the beautiful harbor, while on the other side you get to see the skyscrapers of Hong Kong. Additionally, the atmosphere is laid back and relaxing, which I highly enjoyed. As for the drinks and snacks, it seems limited and a bit overpriced. However, you have to keep in mind you are mainly paying for the view. Service wise, it was attentive and friendly. Overall, this isn't the best rooftop bar in Hong Kong, but the views are nice and worth the visit if you are in the area and have time to kill.

I've heard great reviews at this place before coming here. Unfortunately, other than the views and interior, all else is a bit subpar. Food was decent but it wasn't amazing for that price tag. Service was mediocre at best. Perhaps it's only worth it for the view and thats all. We've ordered 4 dishes: an appetizer of lobster crepe, a spinach/asparagus risotto with white truffles, a wagyu tenderloin, and a ginger cheesecake. Most of the dishes were good. Appetizer was a good start, lobster was poached just right, its sauce was aromatic and flavorful. Wasn't a fan of the cantonese take on the tenderloin. So that dish was a double take where the main tenderloin was served with an onion sauce with strips of meat stir fried in. Sauce was ok, a bit on the sweeter end since it's full of carmelized onions. The strips of meat were just over done. I was very surprised about how the server doesnt ask how I'd like my meat. I definitely don't enjoy my meat being medium. And I'm sure that poor little cow didn't want to be ruined at medium. The tenderloin was luckily still tender enough, i wasn't ready to eat boujee beef jerky. I enjoyed that risotto. The color combo of the green veggies and edible flowers made the dish quite pleasing to the eye. Dish was on the lighter end, the shaved truffles didnt overpower the whole dish. And now, that disastrous dessert. Considering how people say that they've enjoyed tea services here, I would expect amazing desserts. The ginger cheesecake was just ok at best. The entire cake was bland, the texture was not creamy enough, crust was so moist. The whole thing crumbled harder than an oatmeal bar. The only thing interesting was the ginger candy up at top, the only ginger tasting part. Might just be the service culture in general. I was expecting 1-2 servers for designated tables, checking in occasionally, and all that jazz. I mean, you have a dress code, I think I can set a minimum expectation on hospitality. Yet, i find myself waving down different servers as they pass by. Nothing gets said about dishes either. Not even a brief summary on how each dish is served. I just get the shorten name of the dish. I had a side of some crispy frizzy things that I dont know what it was and how it should be eaten. For a $2k meal, that's crap.

The pre-game to a night of after-parties, with some great views no matter which side of the roof you find yourself on. The only real drawback was how most of us found the finger foods a bit underwhelming given the color and vibrancy of the presentation.

Can to say Top Shelf!!! Just had another fantastic time and meal at Sevva. 24th floor, with million dollar views. The service starts as soon as you walk in, greeted by two host. One continues as the other walks you to your table. Ordered the Set Lunch, picked the Salmon Fish Cakes with the Wok-Fried Wagyu Beef and it came with Ice Cream and tea. The Salmon Fish cake was crispy on the outside and moist and tasty on the inside. The Wok-Fried Wagyu was so tender you could cut with a spoon, I did use my knit. The flavor was sweet with and had asparagus pieces with mushrooms. Dessert was fresh ice cream with strawberry's, and this was the one dish that needed one more scoop. The lunch was served promptly, fresh and very enjoyable. A very good quality restaurant with outstanding service and fantastic views. A treat that can make anyone's day a little better!

This place is covered by local socialites, and the kind of foodies that chases after trends rather than flavours. A friend of mine managed to get us an afternoon tea booking -- she claimed it was fully booked, and really hard to get! I must admit, that got my expectations up, and on top of that, their cakes that was showcased at the entrance were rather beautiful looking! I haven't had the cakes ever, and I've heard good things about it, but I suspect a lot of it is just marketing and packaging, based on my tea experience here. After my meal here, I don't think I will ever be back. Where do I start? The place was pretty empty as we arrived at our time of reservation, unlike what I was led to believe. There weren't too many people at the rooftop area, and at some point we were the only people having high tea. They sat us at some Victorian-style couches with a coffee table, which was at knee height and very awkward to eat at, and unfortunately it was at a lower level than the rooftop so you could barely see the view outside. One thing I immediately noticed was how cold the air-conditioning was, and I was quite uncomfortable and cold. Food and hot tea usually solves that, especially if the food comes in three tiers. But alas, I was disappointed when the food came. There was only one of every single item, and each piece was quite large, making it much harder to eat with your fingers, but not large enough to share. The food tends... American? There were sliders, tarts, sponge cakes... even a tacky chocolate-and-sprinkle-covered strawberry (yes, ONE). None of the food was memorable. They were underwhelming at best, and the desserts were so bland, you couldn't really tell what they were meant to be if you weren't looking at the colors. Did I mention how cold the air-conditioning was? Usually the food at tea is served cold, but when it involved a beef slider... the slider quickly turned cold and chewy in the air-conditioning and I'd rather have a fresh McDonald's burger. The tea? Forget about it girl. It became iced tea the moment it was poured out of the teapot. On top of this, the food was not even cheap. It rivaled the tea at Ritz Carlton in terms of prices, and the service was forgettable and minimal. I don't think the waitstaff even came to refill our hot water. It took us forever to get their attention for the bill, and again, the place wasn't even close to 1/4 filled. Needless to say, I highly recommend bringing your $$ and tastebuds elsewhere. Unfortunately, because food and social media are such essential parts for Hong Kong people, anything that looks remotely instagrammable always gets the most recommendations, despite the actual quality and service. Don't be a lemming, and definitely don't fool yourself into thinking anything expensive must be good.

Sevva is by far my absolute favorite bar in HK and here's why. They have a fabulous outdoor patio with a spectacular view of HK. It's right next to the HSBC building, so be prepared to have your visual senses stimulated by a load of bright lights! Aside from the view, the desserts are also bomb.com. My favorite is their famous crunch cake! The servers could probably have been a teensy more attentive-- we had to ask for hot water at least 3 times before it was brought over to us. With that said, Sevva is definitely a bit on the higher end side. Don't be surprised if you pay upwards of $20 USD for a drink! I think the swanky vibe, decadent desserts and awesome view is definitely well worth it!

We went for afternoon tea despite the mixed reviews. The tea set is definitely not traditional, with more savory than sweet and no scones. The views are pretty good but not spectacular given the location. I would give about 3.8 stars overall for food, originality, and service. HOWEVER, I'm only giving 1 star because they tried to pull a fast one with us. So as we were nearing the end of our tea set, the server brought out this fantastic looking cake with a big cotton candy on top. We were pretty amazed that the tea set would come with such a big item, which would make it a great value contrary to reviews, and we even verbally expressed our amazement. We honestly believed that it came with our set, especially since the tables around us all got their own cake too, and the server said nothing to correct us. Well, when the bill came, turns out the cake was an extra 620. We were shocked, if only because we didn't anticipate the extra charge, having neither placed the order nor seen it on the menu. THE SHADY PART is that when we mentioned it to the server, she immediately admitted that they had made a mistake and served us a cake we didn't order. It was like she already knew and was just hoping we wouldn't notice the bill. The thing is, we did eat the cake and it was pretty delicious, so my problem isn't having to pay for the cake or not -- regardless of the resolution, I don't like the feeling that this allegedly high end establishment is trying to trick us. If you want a truly luxe afternoon tea experience, with high end service and fantastic views from above, I would highly recommend Cafe Grey Deluxe at Upper House. If you want a slightly more casual experience with high end service and fantastic harborside views, I also highly recommend the Intercontinental. Suffice it to say that this is my last visit to Sevva.

Cousin catch-up at super swank chill outdoor lounge. Very nice bottle of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, full bodied red shared around the outdoor, low-lit deck. Lucky to nab full outdoor seating couches Love the crew and vibe. Def perfect for conversation

We came here for an afternoon high tea cos that's what Sevva is famous for.. well actually they are famous for many other things. Located at the fancy pants Price Building in Central, they don't take reservation for after teas.. it starts at 2:30 but you will always see a line before it starts especially on the weekends. So the food., my friend and I shared a signature tea set for 2, it was $720HKD + 10% service charge, so it's a little over $100USD. It came with a lot of finger food like spring rolls, some salmon and chive cream toasts, crabmeat and prawn salad slider, mushroom ragout on rice cracker, salad on cucumber, ham and brie, etc all of them are simple stuff maybe except the foie gras mousse. Oh.. it also came with coffee or tea for each person. Food tasted pretty good overall but nothing outstanding. I guess most people are here for the service and the fanciness.

As a hospitality designer for 7 years plus, it doesn't roll well with me seeing all those scratched up plate settings. Did they ran back and forth with a wire brush while cleaning? The dust magnet cushion covers too, they look like Oscar the Grouch on acid. I told them it's my freaking birthday, I would expect a cupcake with a lit candle onto it. They placed a used candle into my palm instead. ROFL. I am here for the view really, I don't expect much from their 3 tiers afternoon tea. It's way past Chinese New Year & they still dog on using CNY rooster as decoration on one of the cake. The rest of the dessert cakes taste like the one you throw into the garbage the second the office party is over. May be I am from LA, Sevva seems stingy on their heat lamps. They should have blankets or throws readily around. If you are from the east coast or LA, the harbor rooftop thingy view here at Sevva is just an okay. Put some money into renovation man. Duh!

REVIEWER # 40 Sevva! I love everything about you! From the sexy view that you offer, the remarkable customer service, the enjoyable ad erotic cocktail names, and the appealing desserts you offer on the menu. Everything about you hollers SEXCI! You looking for a fancy place to have a drink either romantically or with friends in a sophisticated place in HK? Or you are on your own and fancy observing how the young and beautiful well-off people of Hong Kong entertain themselves? This is THE place, at the heart of Central! I first heard about this place as I was looking at bars with beautiful views in Hong Kong. Sevva seems to be well known in the Central (Bar area) of HK! Sevva is quite unique, the design and ambiance very different from other restaurants, it feels like living room, garden terrace, French palais - depending on where you sit. But all that makes it very unique and the menu has pan-Asian and western dishes, a mix that is hard to find like this in HK. The restaurant and bar is an upscale place which means that there is dress code: No shorts, sandals (Flip flops) and ripped clothing. THE LOCATION: The location is not the easiest thing to find. Let me shed some light on how to get there. Walk into the HSBC Tower building (by architect Sir. Foster). You will find an elevator that will take you straight to Sevva. You will have to take an individual elevator from the office building. THE VIEW: This restaurant has a fantastic view of Hong Kong. The have an outside seating area that you can choose to sit if you want to take in the view more. The patio was huge with 7-8 large couch tables for dining guests. The best view is right at the corner where you can see the harbour view with the ferris wheel. It is a great place to watch the sun go down and see the lights on Hong Kong Island come on. Admittedly a little pricey, but the views, the lively ambiance and beautiful people more than make up for that PRICES: This place is known to be very expensive to have drinks. The food here is pricey but you pay for what you get...the food here is delicious, the signature dishes are truly yummy! They do have a wide selection of cocktail drinks ranging from around $150+ hkd per drink. DRINKS: Not only is the view spectacular but the sexy, tasty drinks will make you want another and another and stay all night - but the city of Hong Kong beacons you to explore other nightly activities. The Strawberry and Champagne Mojitos are like no other you have tasted before, the KamaSutra Double Rum cocktail is delicious and the Hotter than Sex (rum and chili peppers) will knock your socks off. It's always busy in the evening with business folks with customers as well as friends catching up.Overall, Sevva can WOW anyone that comes to Hong Kong and is looking for either a good dinner, view or delicious cocktails. It is just exceptional, stunning, and unique! Worth the "solid but affordable" prices on the drinks for sure! Good music as well! If you are used to paying American prices, then this should be on par with that. If you can get on the patio, it is 100% worth it!

This review is strictly for the bar! Sevva is suchhh a trendy rooftop bar! Upon stepping out, you're automatically blown away by the incredible view! Looking to the left you see the glistening Harbour. Looking to the right you see all the skyscrapers and lights. The crowd is very stylish and hip.. imagine a bougie posh crowd from NY if you're like me visiting from the States. The drinks are priced on the higher end of the spectrum but with the accompanying view, that's expected! 10/10 would recommend visiting Sevva if you're in HK!

I can't judge on the food here since I only got drinks but I have to say you can't beat the view. Yes, as others have said drinks are extremely expensive here $20 USD for one Jack and coke. But hey if you need a sight to impress and a memory to make this could be the place. I thought it was worth it and would like to come back. It's free to goto the roof top but if you want a table reservation it's there's a $7000 HK spend minimum not including tip and other things.

We went to Sevva for New Years. It is on the 25th floor. It has gorgeous views of Hong Kong waters on one side (absolutely gorgeous) and the skyline on the other. The Hong Kong skyline is probably 2x the size of Manhattan skyline so it is amazing. The server was very pushy and very impatient for us to order drinks. Did not give us time to look at the options. Also the drinks are very very expensive. Overall it was a pleasant experience and we enjoyed our time there. Will recommend you go there once if you have not been. Try Ozone on 87th floor of Ritz, superb views

Got off from a 16 hr flight and this is my first stop :D. The drinks are expensive!! Basically New York rooftop price ($15-25 USD). I understand I'm also paying for the view and it's really pretty up there! Hence, I'm willing to spend the money :P. I got there around 11:30 pm on a Thursday. Even though they open until 2 am, final call for drinks end around midnight. They have a nice and spacious outdoor seating area. There weren't a lot of people the day I went and I enjoyed my time there by taking lots of pictures hehe. For drinks I got the white chocolate martini. It looks better than it taste. Don't get it. You're basically drinking alcohol spiked chocolate. It was very thick and I didn't like it. Overall, it's a great bar, very classy and the view is way better than the drinks.

After a subpar time at Lan Kwai Fong, we headed to Sevva at Prince's Building. It was a huge save for a Saturday night. The rooftop highs +: + The view. Seeing Hong Kong light up at night was beautiful. + The crowd. A good mix of expats and locals hung at the standing tables or lounged on the pillowy sofas + Decent DJ. He went from Radiohead to Elvis to jazz to house. Somehow it all worked. + Divine cocktails. Kama Sutra made with passion fruit, mango and rum (HKD 175) was one of the best drinks I've ever had. + Good service. The ground lows -: - Perhaps buzz on drinks are making them blurry but I can't think of any. Watch your attire. Smart casual is the dress code. That night men wore button down shirts with an optional sports jacket. Slacks a must. Ladies mostly opted for skirts, dresses and heels. I got away with a dress and Converse!

My friend took me to Sevva for afternoon tea during my most recent visit to the 852 (Hong Kong) and I was pretty happy with the whole experience. Located inside a high end shopping mall, we came here at around 330 during a weekday. The moment we exited the elevator, we were greeted nicely by the host and offered free coat and bag check service. Since it was a pretty hot and humid day, we decided to sit inside instead of the patio. Patio is beautiful here so if the weather is good, i highly recommend sitting at the patio. They have two afternoon tea set and my friend went with the one that has sweets and savory food and it included two drinks for around $800 HKD for 2 people, tips included. If you are deciding between the coffee or tea, I recommend going with the tea because tea is bottomless versus the latte is not. Food was great, but not overly impressively, but the way they display the food was fantastic. The tea and latte were great as well, but the best thing about this place is the the view, as it is amazing, pretty much every picture you take at Sevva is Instagram worthy. If you opt to sit inside, you are free to walk out to the patio to take a few photos.

What a lovely place for lunch with its beautiful rooftop views of the city. We had the vegetable dumplings which were the best I've ever had - tasty without being over seasoned, in a light broth. Simply superb. Then the dessert cakes. Pictures speak for themselves. Scrumptious and light as a feather.

A very very VERY expensive bar. My god, I think I paid around 180HKD for ONE glass of wine. The only thing that made me feel better about paying this much was the gorgeous view. I don't think there is anywhere in Hong Kong where you can get a 360 view like this. The roof top bar is not too high that humans look like moving ants. The bar is at the perfect height to see the harbor, but also see people walking on the streets. When I went, there was also a lovely person singing. Great music, great view, manageable prices. Will definitely come again.

Beautiful view of the city and all of the harbors and buildings. Gorgeous cakes/desserts and they also serve food and drinks. I didn't like my peach tea blossom. Can't describe it but the flavors didn't jive. The cakes were decent but not the best. Yes, they're pretty to look at but the actual cake layers were too moist. The lemon one was better than the toffee crunch since they rotated w/ some crunchy layer for texture. While I appreciate lemon cakes, this was way too tart though. Attempted to order the truffle Mac and cheese 4x by 2 different servers. One told me he'd check and let me know but never mentioned it again. The second server took it down then came back and inquired what it was. Showed him the picture on Yelp and he finally told us it was unavailable. Super disappointed since they took forever in letting me know they no longer served it after an hour of harassing them.

I heard Jamie Chua came here all the time so I wondered why? I came here on a Tuesday with my mom for lunch. We both got their set lunch of the day and the portion was great. It was about $90 USD per person and I think it was a little overpriced for what they had to serve. However, the restaurants view was amazing and the waiters are friendly. Will be back for desserts next time!

Loved Sevva :D My boyfriend and I came here for an afternoon tea session around Chinese New Year. Service was excellent - Multiple waiters / host checked on us on good intervals. The tea sets were so cute and delicate, we had a great time here :) Our set was CNY themed, which included: * Golden Turnip Cake * Toasted Crumpet with Smoked Salmon & Chive Cream Cheese * Signature Crabmeat & Prawn Salad Burger * Wild Mushroom Ragoût on Crispy Rice Cracker * Salad Kyoto on Cucumber * French Ham & Brie Cheese Roll Sandwich * Chicken Roll Sandwich * Chicken A La King Tarlet * Mini Short Rib Burger * Guava Cake * Celebration Cake * Red Bean Cake * Almond Panna Cotta * Fortune Cookies * Cigar Wafer Cookies // English breakfast tea Our top three picks were the short rib burger, red bean cake and the wild mushroom ragoût on rice cracker. Delicious! This is a great place to take a break after a long day of shopping, conveniently located at IFC mall.

Perfect spot for first dates. And that probably explains why I didn't come here as often as I used to be... =) They have undoubtedly one of the best views of the Harbour from the Island side, and it reflects properly on the price of the drinks and food. Don't expect seats on the balcony - they are reserved for people who pays for the minimum charge of whatever grands, and the best spots next to the edge are all tall, standing tables. Kind of an arrogant design, but hey, they have the best view of the Harbour... Just before 6:00pm it is perfect, bankers got off work and the sneaky accountants who come here for an early drinks have to go back to their office (on the same building). After 7pm it is often overcrowded, and depends on what kind of dates you are having, you may run into way too many friends, colleagues and clients than you should. If you are persistent enough to stay past 8pm, boom, a Symphony of Lights. For everyone I come with for the first time, I will always tell them the anecdote about HSBC Headquarters. Have you ever thought of the reason why HSBC (and hence, Sevva) got such a good view of the Harbour? Yeah, let me tell you the same anecdote next time we are there! And one small downfall - the staff *may* react differently if they think you are not a banker, or are not spending as much as a banker would. Kind of sad, really, but did I mention they have the best view of...

Meeting SEVVA is like meeting the really-good-on-paper guy. He's smart, successful, and happens to be handsome too, with only one major issue. He's one helluva cocky bastard with a huge ego. That's SEVVA for you.. It's charming, alluring, offering great views and pretty darn good cocktails, but the service falls really short for a place that charges 160HKD and up( ~20USD ) for a drink. Weirdly, the service doesn't seem to deter people from coming because I've heard from multiple friends warning me that the service isn't the best but they still hang here from time to time. SEVVA could have earned a very special place in my heart, if they worked on improving their service a bit. You really can't beat the sexy views though.. good for: Place to take visitor friends to Jazz lovers ( they have jazz on weeknights) Impressing clients

I'm not quite sure what cuisine this place is aiming for. When I got the menu, it was overwhelming. There is Indian, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, American, and French influenced dishes on the menu. (Indian food seemed the most popular) So basically a confusion fusion restaurant? When seated they brought out complimentary crispy Indian bread (Papadum) in 5 different flavors. The duck salad with mango complimented very well. The Truffle Mac and Cheese we ordered had penne instead of Macaroni which confused me a little. The sliced truffles were on point though. Not bad. The Truffle Risotto was extremely disappointing except the pomegranate seed added a contrast to the flavors. I didn't taste any truffle in the dish whatsoever. Would pass on this dish. To end the meal, we ordered the famous Crunch Cake. Honestly, it was good but it was too hyped. The sponge cake was whatever but it was the honeycomb crunch that everyone seemed to love. (Go to SF and look for the Coffee Crunch Cake at Yasukochi!) Overall, the place was alright due to my high expectations (3/5). (Maybe the afternoon tea is better?) The ambiance and view is absolutely gorgeous so make sure to check it out. A great place for a date. Don't forget to step outside for a cocktail (it's a little pricey) and admire the beautiful skyline and flashy lights from HSBC building! The view definitely makes up for the food.

I came here for a quiet lunch on my own. I needed some me time. Sick. Lunch. Comfortable couches to sink into while becoming mildly inebriated by one of the best cocktails and sandwich I've ever had for lunch. Pricey, yes. Satiating? Absolutely. The infamous big, yellow rubber duckie just happened to be in view as well over the bay during my sips and nibbles. I'd go back. Easily, for lunch again.

Sevva is located on the 25th floor of Prince's Building. So walk in the building (it may be empty on the ground floor, locate the elevators, and press the Sevva button on the wall. The elevator will come down and once you step in, you are transported to the 25th floor. A direct elevator to this place! So once you are here, you can chill out in the air conditioned interior or grab an awe-inspiring view of of Hong Kong by walking out to the outdoor/rooftop balcony. To the right, you will see the HSBC and Bank of China Towers; to the left, you will see Victoria Harbour and Kowloon. WOWZER! The view itself is enough to drop your jaw. So that's it, just head back down the elevator if that is all you wanted. Why? The drink prices are steep. I ordered a Guava Mojito for HKD175. That is pretty much a $30 drink. That is like the most I have ever paid for one drink EVER. It was a great drink, don't get me wrong. The sound of fruit in drinks is always a bit sketch cuz the drinks usually end up coming out super sweet but it actually wasn't. You also don't taste the rum so it's a hidden killer. After grabbing a few shots (as in photos) with the background of HK, we decided to walk around so we grabbed our drinks and looked around. What happens next? Almost immediately, the waiter tracked us down with our check. A bit pushy in my opinion but I guess people can pretty much exit and they will be down $30...Either way, it didn't feel right in how they approached it. Anyways, we paid and grabbed another look and left to visit other bars in Central. The views and the drinks are very good. For the price, I don't think it is worth it but I guess it is worth a try. Maybe just one. The crowd is very chill with a mixture of expats to locals to visitors. There is music inside and out so you get to hear some tunes while you get a glimpse of how beautiful HK is. If you have the funds, it is a great place to hang but if you don't, I suggest you do what I did or just come for the view...Might not be accepted by the establishment but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes...

We only got drinks here. There's an extensive menu of inventive sounding cocktails, but the execution doesn't seem to justify the price as each drink runs about HK$175, or about US$21-$23. You're really paying for the view of the harbor/bay. The seating for sofa/table seems to be on a reservations basis. Since we were asked to move after seating ourselves when another party left. However, just after we were asked to move, a Caucasian mother-daughter pair sat there and were given the same spiel, BUT allowed to stay there until the mythical customers with RSVPs arrived! Without reservations, you'll be stuck standing at a table or a circular sofa that's not conducive to groups of more than 2 people. It's located near the financial center so most of the people here look like ex-pats. If you're looking for an authentic local experience, this is not it. Overall, we were super unimpressed as this was our worst experience in Hong Kong. 1 star for the view and 1 for the nice restroom. Zero stars for service.

Best view in Hong Kong - I don't know. It's very nice view if you get a place at the right location. Otherwise you see and hear the A/C devices from the other building that it. A lot of people here complained about the service - I can say I had no problem. The service was fast, friendly and supportive. The food (snacks) and the drinks leave a mixed impression. We had various Cocktail, some were good but some were just average. But all are priced at the upper end of the price range. The snacks were nothing special you can get them in the same or better quality anywhere else.

Excellent food, beautiful views, live music on the patio/terrace. It's a bit pricey but worth checking out at least once if you've never been to HK before and want to grab a drink or do dinner with great views and a nice vibe. It's right in the middle downtown Hong Kong.

Dope view, after work scene for many of the expats that work around the area. Prices for drinks are a bit steep (150-185 HKD) but I guess that's HK standard for the location and view the place provides. I would definitely come back for the drinks and the view.

There's not much I can say about Sevva that hasn't been said before. It seems to be the best rooftop bar to get a great view of the city. It's almost a mandatory spot for first timers in Hong Kong. The drinks are expensive, so just come for one. The Woolloomooloo rooftop bar is also a great vantage point and drinks are a bit cheaper, if you're looking for another option. It's very cold up on the rooftop, much colder than ground level so wear a lot of layers and a thick jacket.

Rooftop bar with a view in Central. Good cocktails, wine selection and dessert. They also served Asian fusion / Indian food for dinner which is also quite nice. Price is on the high side given location and view.

A great place for a cocktail and enjoy a unique view of the HSBC building on the patio. The staff is attentive and the menu has a great selection. If you enjoy a meal make sure you save room for a dessert.

Outstanding food and fusions. The menu was a bit overwhelming but only because it has so many exotic, delicious-sounding dishes! It is a bit over-priced but for definitely worthy of an occasional treat. The Scottish Salmon was perfect in every way. Went with a party of 7, who all absolutely fell in lovw with the food. For cocktails, the Pennicilin! Great outdoor terrace with spectacular views. Lost of bright lights at night!

This review is for their afternoon tea. No reservations. Lines start around 2ish for afternoon tea service starting at 3pm. There are a lot of things to not like about this place: 1. The service. Or the lack thereof. The waitresses, waiters, hostesses are all extremely rude. They do not care about their customers and think they are god. 2. The afternoon tea set comes with only 2 selection of tea. Earl Grey and English breakfast. If you want any other type of tea, it's an ADDITIONAL COST. The tea set is priced on the higher end, it is crazy to charge your customers more money for a different type of tea!! 3. They don't have tap water. You must order bottled water. 4. The afternoon tea set is for TWO, yet they only give you 1 for some items. ONE chocolate-dipped strawberry? Are you fuckin' kidding me? How would you like us to split that? 5. The so-called 'view' that everyone is raving about? Meh. Seriously? Nothing to call home about. Go to the Ritz on TST. Now that is what I call a view. Bottom line - don't go. you're welcome ============================= Review #174

Despite poor service and waiters who are not very bright, Sevva has one of the best views of HK in the outdoor area. If you have a sweet tooth, this is the place to go to enjoy with friends. The Marie-Antoniette or King Louis cakes are uber yummy. Or go for simple cakes like the crunch cake. If you don't want to have any alcohol, their tea is good too. This fancy place isn't cheap. Great place to bring friends from overseas to see the beautiful view of the Victoria Harbour.

Three stars for the view of central ! Zero star for the services! It's really slow and very hard to get services until you decide to complaint! For the price they charge, customers would expect better service quality! It's a venue for guest out of town, but if you work in Central HK, there are much better venue to go after work!

Sevva has one of the best views from a bar/restaurant. I've never heard good things about the food so I've never been in the restaurant. Despite how hot Hk is and its a rooftop bar they don't allow shorts for guys. The drinks are expensive, varying quality, service poor quality so the only thing that keeps it open is the view and bankers/lawyers trying to feel important.

great views. we were told by a friend that its a nice bar/lounge... it was close to our hotel so we walked there after dinner on friday night. it says its open till 2 am ... so we were surprised when we walked in around 1 am and a server tells us that we have stopped service. it was practically dead at this time

Never a big fan of this place- it's mostly for pretentious people who want to see and be seen. However I must say the place is tastefully decorated, thanks to Bonnae Gokson, global socialite and style maven (Ms. B, yes, the cake Ms. B) and sister to fashion doyenne Joyce Ma (yes, of Joyce Boutique) Food is beautifully presented but nothing to write home about. Cuisine is global comfort food (or the many of Ms. B's favorite things), amped up with expensive ingredients-so there's no way it could taste bad. Honestly. My personal favorite is the upmarket pork chop rice (yes, the tomato-y, Cha chan teng kind). Made with breaded Japanese kurobuta pork, Taiwanese pearl rice fried with shelled sweet peas (as opposed to frozen green peas) and smothered in homemade ketchup (as opposed to the Del Monte variety) and then baked to perfection, the finer ingredients offered a delicate and luxurious take on this local favorite. At $200+ a pop, it ain't cheap. Many enjoy the restaurant's rooftop bar the view of which rivals that of China Club's (its more or less the same piece of view they're sharing, since both restaurants are across from each other. On any given day, you will find many well-heeled Centralites enjoying an after-work drink with colleagues.

Great spot to watch the nightly light show. It's right neart the HSBC building so you get to see the lights real close up. The bar itself plays is a swanky place to chill out, with the subtle dance / chill beats in the background. Drinkies are great, loved the cocktails and the generous portions of bar snacks! The vibe was a little too stand-off-ish, people there stuck to their own groups and treated everyone else as invisible. Definitely not interested in giving anyone else a friendly smile.

I personally love this place. The only reason I'm not giving Sevva 5 stars is because it's so damn expensive and at night, it's really hard to find any seats. A big plus, though, is that there are quite a few standing tables near the balcony. The views are spectacular. You get a great view of the Harbour and the Central buildings. Definitely a great place to take a date or just to take pictures because there's no cover charge. My tip: if you're not willing to pay for the drinks, go up, take a few pictures with your friends, chill out, then go back to LKF and have fun :)

In the old days before there was Sevva, Felix was probably the best place to go in terms of a good view and making the whole experience really special. Aqua was also good too and the view plus the décor made an excellent choice if you were out to impress. Both these locations had the same problem though: they are on the other side of the harbor. If you had just left work, it hardly seems worth the effort climbing all the way over there. Sevva is perfect for this exact reason- even though there are tonnes of bars in the Central area, there wasn't actually much to go for in this particular area. Not since no. 9 closed anyways and they are not even in the same category. Sevva is a location that gives you the view, the setting, the whole top notch experience that I have found it hard to replicate anywhere. Sitting outside for happy hour (provided its not a boiling day by that) gives you the complete close up view of Central- not from the other side of the harbor but right by the side of everything. That cosmopolitan flavor falls into place very quickly and it adds that little bit of flavor to it. Drinks are reasonably priced for a location like this- you'd be wonder why there weren't more expensive as I'm sure people will still come. There is a restaurant inside but I have not eaten here so can't comment. From the looks of it though it doesn't look bad at all- something on the bucket list then.

Beautiful surroundings with terrific service and one of the best views in Hong Kong. I stop by every time I visit HK! A friendly vibe, even if upscale. They let you linger to finish off your $20 cocktail.

Don't come here Iv been here twice no service twice . This place sucks Turkey Balls Service denied.

great wrap around 25th floor view in the heart of central. no brainer to bring out of towners here for catching up in the evenings

5 stars for the view!! You don't need anything but to sit on the patio and enjoy 1 drink at dusk and overlook the city harbor. It's fantastic. You won't regret it (just don't look at the bill until the next day ;) )
