Ambience: it's an attractive room similar in style to Tango's sister restaurant, Bistecca (an Italian steakhouse). We sat at tall tables by the large windows overlooking the intersection where Hollywood Road morphs into Wyndham Street, but the main part of the dining room has regular tables and chairs.

Pros: the focus of the room is the gorgeous fireplace with a wheel that the chef uses to raise and lower the grill over the wood fire. The meats are of good quality.

Cons: some of the other dishes were not as good. The three ceviches - yellowfin tuna with watermelon, salmon with jalapeno and avocado, and octopus and tomato (HK$228 for a tasting of all of them) - were unexciting. The most interesting - the tuna with watermelon - was marred by too much black pepper. A side dish of rustic potato and spring onion mash (HK$58) was bland and watery. Churros (HK$65, served with chocolate sauce) had been fried in oil that was too hot, so although they were brown on the outside, they had a core of uncooked dough in the centre.
