Went on a Friday night. If you're the sort of person who likes restaurants that have a DJ, you'll like this. For me, it felt like Dubai, and not in a good way. The music was so loud that conversation was difficult. This is not a club or even a bar, just a normal restaurant that closes at 11 pm - no need to inflict a DJ on customers who want to have a nice dinner and talk to each other. We asked a couple of times for the volume to be lowered - it went down for about a minute then back up louder. Eventually we tried to move outside to finish our wine in peace, but weren't allowed to take it outdoors with us so had to drink it standing up in the little lobby by the reception/coat check desk.

Service was very patchy - we spent a lot of time trying to flag down one of the few staff members when we needed something. Obviously, they couldn't hear us, so we had to keep watching out for them and waving. Food was great, but due to the intrusive music and poor service we wouldn't come here again. It wasn't cheap, either!
