Was a bit noisy for such a high class restaurant but it was a friday night so it is understandable. Food displayed was starting to look messy and unappetising further into the night.

Slightly better than last time but unlikely to return. The selection cannot compare to Conservatory as well as the price point.

Service was great but just short of amazing. They didn't come regularly to fill our glasses with water or anything else. Also for the price we paid there should have been complimentary juice or drink. Instead we had to pay extra for these. The soup should have been one that most people would like - pumpkin or tomato or even chicken but a seafood busque was pro idea and terrible miso both I disliked. It was my birthday but they didn't ask or give me anything to feel special. Usually in 5 star you get a red rose! I was hoping for little more international variety. No pastas congees or augratin. The Asian wasnt so great. No burgers or sliders for kids or steaks. No fishseafood bites and crab is too small not like the sizs it used to be before. Doubt it is blue swimmer also as advertised. Dessert could have included macadam or hazelnut items. Boring icecream choice and dessert.nothing special here. Something with alcohol in it could have stood out or dark chocolate. Finally there should have been someone to tell us what were the specialities in case we missed out.perhaps they could have made us some churros if we asked? Fresh and on the spot? Little over priced for what we got. Indian 5 or 8 stars serve international far better than this. Check out Leila palace chennai India. For this meal I would not pay more than $100 per head on a Saturday. $85 is all its worth.

Not entirely their fault, but we saw the price of $85pp and was expecting to pay that. Ended up being $129 pp. Would rather the noodle dishes to be self serve as well to allow smaller serves. We couldn’t fry them due to the fact they cook up a large serve of each.

My husband and I have been taking our family every Christmas for about 15 years. Our family is growing ( grandchildren etc) and it is their highlight every year. Our 7 year old grand daughter said it was "the best day of her life" We take a family photo every year with your decorations and this year you shared it on your story( thankyou). We can not wait for next time :)

It was good. Due to it being very busy we had to ask waiters twice to fill our glasses with water. Food was average. The dessert we wanted was not available and we had to wait a while and had to get in quick before that disappeared as well.
