Aqua, Hong Kong
Aqua is a hip place with a posh website on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong. At 1 Peking Road, it offers a lovely view of the famous Central skyline at night. 
As you can see here, the website is fabulous. Unfortch, the restaurant itself is not as fabulous as the website. It is beautiful, and the food was lovely, but somehow the website made it seem bigger and hipper than in was in real life. In real life, it was small, and the servers were, well, mortal. And apparently, the sound system on my computer is better than the one at the restaurant.
Still, the view is worth it. If you time it right, you can't beat it as a perfect venue to see the skyline light show with a cocktail.
The Aquatini comes with gold flakes and lychee. Sparkly, but very sweet (not as good as the World of Susie Wong bar in Beijing - and not as free). Strawberry mojitos were packed with fresh fruit and mint. Very nice. And as you can see, the sushi was artfully presented and very tasty.
