Went here Friday 25th March 2011 for my birthday with 4 other friends. First impressions were amazing with gorgeous decor and clean crisp white table cloths and a pianist playing. We sat down and ordered cocktails and ordered our food which we said we DID NOT want til we had had our cocktails. Over 10 minutes later still waiting for the drinks. We also asked for some prawn crackers and still waiting for those. Then the starters arrived even though we still hadnt got our drinks, we said we didnt want them yet and she said "they are here now", we said to please take them away til after our drinks, she said she would "keep them warm" we asked that they were not kept warm but fresh ones provided. Drinks eventually arrived (not the greatest Mojito ever). The prawn crackers arrived (more like thai crackers). The starters were fine and the duck was also fine - standard chinese. Then came the main course...the sweet and sour was ok but the meat was more like crispy balls of fat, the off putting part were the added strawberries and lychees, a small bowl of rice between five and the worst dish I have ever had in a chinese...this beef in some sort of oyster/black bean sauce...well I say beef - was supposed to be. It was clearly not any part of a cow ive had before and seemed reconstituted, a friend described it best as saying it was like kebab meat but worse - vile. The prawns on their own from the king prawn dish were the best part. Its not cheap either as with drinks was around £235 (for sub standard chinese). I believe you are paying for the surroundings as it is lovely. Such a shame the main part (the food) is so bad. I will not be recommending. If they got the food and service right this place would really work. read more
