We came here for an Anniversary dinner and had a slightly mixed experience. The main selling point of the place is the presence of live music during your meal, inspired by the Shanghai clubs of old. This was clearly the best aspect of the night. We first enjoyed an instrumental set by the band (Four Clouds of Joy - piano, drums, double bass, violin), and then a couple of very nice sets by Diva Amy with the band. It does make it a special experience. Other elements were mixed - not all tables have a good view of the band. If that's important to you, request a suitably located table. We liked a table further away from the band but which had side by side seating for the two of us, giving us both a view. The food itself was not hugely remarkable. The egg rice was similar to the standard you could get from a humble restaurant like Gold Mine on Bayswater - nice but probably not what they were going for! We had that with Japanese aubergine and tofu (the tofu was nice, the aubergine pretty tasteless). The Park Carbonara was visually stunning and reasonably tasty. Service was hit and miss - our main waiter, Alex, was very friendly, but others were less so. It feels like the place had a surplus of waiters, many of which were not too sure what to do. The bathrooms are worth a visit - seriously opulent decor.
