A less frequent user’s thoughts on The Pier:

“While the food was very good, it just didn’t have quite the same wow factor as the first time I ate here a few years ago. At that time, the food quality was that of a top-end London restaurant – hardly surprising, as
the catering was done by a top-end Hong Kong hotel. This time the food was the quality of a top-end first class lounge. It is still very, very good though.”
Most catering companies have the ability to churn out both good and bad products, depending on what you pay them. I really liked it when the Pen managed the Cabin because I felt that all of the food options were within the catering budget. By contrast, the Pier tried to get too fancy even back then. Basically, I have no desire to eat a $15 filet.
