Potions Magic Bar魔藥學餐酒館

Overall: The food was really good, but the service efficiency was quite poor 😂😂

For the dishes, I highly recommend the fresh calamari with the peeled chili cream appetizer; it was quite stunning, full of aroma. I didn't expect the peeled chili to pair so well with the cream, enhancing the flavor of the calamari!

The fried potato chips with Mexican salsa were also very popular among my companions! The potatoes are freshly fried from actual potatoes, giving them a unique texture! The buffalo wings were decent as well; my friends, who are wing experts, thought these wings scored well.

For the risotto, we ordered the black truffle smoked salmon risotto, which left no impression on me. However, I highly recommend the XO sauce Hokkaido scallop pasta; it has a strong flavor but isn't too salty, making it a delightful dish to share among friends.

The restaurant is quite dimly lit; there's just a small lamp on the table, which made it hard to find the waitstaff when we needed them. Additionally, it took a really long time for the draft beer to arrive; I'm not sure why the waitstaff couldn't help the bartender pour the beer. My cocktail took an extremely long time to come, and only after that did the beer slowly make its way to the table. My friends got a bit impatient, especially with so many appetizers but no drinks.

Lastly, it's clear that the restaurant is a Harry Potter fan, as many of the names reflect that, especially in the cocktail section. However, I ordered the classic Long Island Iced Tea, which tasted different from a typical one; it felt overly sweet and had a hint of citrus juice... I was okay with it!

In terms of food, I would be willing to visit again. The restaurant also offers activities like tarot readings to participate in!
