    The front desk clerk (a blonde lady) took the initiative to help the person in front of me hang up the clothes but not mine. It was only after I took the initiative that she reluctantly hung up the clothes. After taking us into the restaurant, I asked her if I could sit at the table next to the window. She said no, it was reserved, but I saw that there was no reservation sign on the table. After that, she rolled her eyes at me when she was taking the guests. In short, this was my most unhappy birthday and I will never come again.

    Made a reservation weeks in advance and was promptly shown to the worst table in the restaurant. No accommodation at all was offered, so we left. Not spending 400 dollars to stare at a blank wall and the kitchen. This table shouldn’t even exist.

    The volume of people trying to talk over the club music meant that we had to shout to have a conversation. Some table cloths & fabric dividers might reduce the volume? The burger fell apart as it was more like a meatball than a patty, although flavour was good. The fact that mains don’t come with veg/sides really cranks up the price. The view is spectacular but it is very unlikely we will ever go again.
