But maybe it's an option worth looking into for a party of 20.
Let there be light:
HK private clubs is a great option for private dinner, party of 20. If only someone in the dining party has a membership.
You need to join the club or have a member bring you in. To join the better clubs you need nominations by present members. Then there are the initiation fees and annual membership fees.
The best chefs are recruited and is contracted staff of these clubs. The remuneration, hours and work environment is superior to many dining establishments.
The quality of the cuisines, service and ambiance at many clubs are superior to most high end restaurants.
