Expecting to be treated to a fine dining experience associated with a 5 star hotel, we were in for a very uncomfortable surprise.
The Palm court restaurant is currently being renovated so you are forced to eat dinner in the lounge. This would not have been a problem had we been forewarned or had there been proper chairs and a dining table.
All 9 of us hobbled around a coffee table waiting in anticipation of our respective orders. A good 1hr45 minutes later the dishes start to arrive, mains followed by the side salads and finally the sweet potato fries.
The braised lamb shoulder turned out to be a stew which left 8 of us looking at each other in shock, whilst disappointing, it tasted ok.
The chicken salad was underwhelming, it lacked any seasoning or dressing.
The quinoa salad whilst nicely presented failed to hit the spot, It was flavourless and remained half uneaten. 
For dessert we opted to go elsewhere as we couldn't bear the thought of waiting another hour or having yet another underwhelming experience.
The only decent thing was the wine, whilst a bit on the expensive side it numbed the pain.
Service was slow and unenthusiastic. Will I be going back not at this point, maybe after the relaunch if these minor details are addressed.
