1. Book on OpenRice — the booking widget is the cleanest path.
2. Try the oyster platter — the lab eat signature.
3. Visit on weekday lunch — quieter, more room for a small or medium dog.
4. Carry AFCD e-licence — the venue is on the FEHD register.
5. Don’t bring a “Dangerous Dog” breed (Cap 167D) — the FEHD permit doesn’t override the parent ordinance.
6. Pick a corner seat away from the door — quieter for a small or medium dog.
7. Mind the 10% service charge — applied on the bill.
8. Use the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront for a relief walk before/after.

OpenRice 4.3/5 across 1,556 reviews; reviewers consistently note the weekend brunch draw and oyster quality, with hall-style seating described as a key reason for the high-volume TST pick classification.
