This is food as theatre - but the food is varied, well cooked, great quality and plentiful. Certainly not a place for an intimate outing as the main fun is to be had from the set banquets which are cooked specifially for you at an enormous stainless steel hotplate, with everyone gathered round opposite your personal chef. The chef cooks your food, course by course, and passes it to each diner's plate. The theatre comes in the lavish flambe-ing of steak and the nutty egg trick mentioned by other reviewers. Our party of seven mature girlies, loved it - and the food was excellent, too.
We had the String of Pearls dinner at £22.90 per head which was pushed up to a rather pricey £35 each after drinks, coffees and tip. You could not wish for a fresher, more splendid dinner - the biggest prawns in the universe, scallops, sushi, swordfish, chicken, fillet steak, fried rice - cooked perfectly and presented with a real flourish. This was paced out over about 1½ hours then all the plates were cleared and we were left to linger over coffee and Japanese green tea..
I would definitely recommend this for a party - but not a romantic duo. I think kids would love it but it may be a bit expensive.
