Who says service in Hong Kong is dead? While that thought might have crossed our minds during many an outing in restaurants across the city, our faith was restored while visiting The Mandarin Grill + Bar.

Of course, with a restaurant of this caliber — it is, after all, housed at the Mandarin Oriental — you’d expect good service. But the team here really goes above and beyond to accommodate every whim, with plenty of humor thrown in for good measure.

This is the place to take those you want to impress — from picky relatives to high-maintenance dates. 

Shortlist: Honjo, Time Bar, Tai Ping Koon, Yardbird
