Sevva

Sevva is located at the Penthouse of Prince's Building in Central. It is an incredible venue: a 360-degree balcony with stunning views of the skyscrapers of Central and Admiralty, the harbour, and the Kowloon skyline – perfect for sunset drinks and impressing loved ones, friends or clients. I came here twice – once with Hubby and once with my cousin in law – I know – twice in the space of a week! The furnishing and décor is absolutely gorgeous.

The first time I was in Sevva was with Hubby, we got there about 6pm and we were lucky to have gotten a table – mind you it wasn't a sit down table or a comfy couch space. We got a tall round table along the sides of the terrace where you have to stand. By about 7pm, it was chockers with people in suits, people that are dressed to impressed and mostly gwai los or non locals.

This place is great for after work drinks, however, there is a price to pay! Beer and a glass of red wine totalled to 200HKD+!! OUCH! But like I said, you are here for the view and with the 'right' company – it is worth every penny!!! Every night, there is a band that plays – great live music, views, music – what more can you ask for?

They gave us an endless supply of chips / nuts / crackers. I would say the downfall would be – the service. Trying to order our drinks took a while, and waiting for our drinks took even longer – I don't think they had enough staff behind the bars making the drinks! However, I was happy enough with the supply of nuts! (I know I am easy to pleased!)

The second time I went here was with my cousin in law. Since we were waiting for hubby to finish work, thought we would get a table. Standing with my super high heels last time was not ideal and I know that we were going to be here for a while! Get there early-ish if you want a table or a couch! We were there a little bit before 6pm and had no problems in finding the table.

My cousin and I were starving! Neither of us has had lunch so thought we would have something 'small' before dinner. We got the menu and I have to say, it wasn't your typical bar menu! I was expecting to see wedges / chips of some sort but alas no! They did however, have chicken wings which we thought were just too messy, and nachos – Indian nachos. We wanted chips so thought nachos would be perfect! The 'Indian Nachos" came shortly after and it was definitely NOT what I expected! When you see nachos on the menu, you would automatically think, corn chips covered in beef, avocado, beans and cheese. However, that's not what came to us! A small plate of what seems to be nachos was put on our table – what came was 6 crackers, and on top of each cracker was beef, avocado, with some curry flavoured sauce and what I thought seems to be cheese. However, it wasn't gooey but crunchy – I think it was fried vermicelli. Weird I know!!!! Surprisingly, the mixture of all was good, the different flavours mixed well together in your mouth – not your average / typical nachos that's for sure!

All in all – a great experience, if you have visitors coming from overseas, definitely worth taking them here for a drink or two. Dress to impress and be prepared to spend a bit of dosh here!
