"I had a virgin experience bought as a Christmas gift for a 3 course a la carts meal and champagne cocktail in the Silk restaurant.Upon arrival it seems only 1 of those 3 statements appears to be true. We were told our meal wouldn’t be in the silk restaurant but in another restaurant Wala but would be served the Silk restaurant menu.We got in the restaurant and saw only 2 other sets of diners.We chose where we wanted to sit and were given menus and the champagne cocktail arrived. The menu was disappointing to say the least.Not many choices and from reading other reviews hasn’t been updated for a long time. We both chose the scallops to start, it arrived and was nice enough although very small portions.We both had the Thai chicken curry for main as this was the best option on the menu.It arrived, nothing special, boiled white rice in a heart shaped dish and the curry, no accompaniments.We had to ask to order drinks, the waiter didn’t ask if everything was ok or if we needed/wanted anything else. Then dessert arrived.We had both chosen the mandarin cheesecake as there were only 2 options and cheesecake is my husbands favourite dessert.What we got was a slither of cheap frozen cheesecake with a soggy base and virtually no taste.My husband didn’t eat his and when the waiter came to clear the plates told him how disappointing it was. The whole experience was a let down from start to finish really.You’re not getting the ‘experience’ being sold by Virgin as you don’t even get to eat in the right restaurant and the food is passable at best. The whole meal lasted less than an hour and we couldn’t wait to leave. No atmosphere or ambience .The staff don’t seem to care that things aren’t very good and I would tell people not to dine here or buy this ‘experience’ from Virgin either. All in all very poor and disappointing"
