Asia de Cuba

Fantastic surroundings with surreal sculpture in the lobby of the hotel and a very hip bar with great art work.

The restuarant itself is really quirky and would be a great place to go on a first date as there's plenty to talk about just by looking around you.

We received a lovely welcome but unfortunately it took an age to order a drink in the bar and we started to wonder if they were actually treading the grapes for the wine.

Staff in the restaurant were really professional and explained each dish as it was brough to the table. They'd chosen a selection of dishes for our large party (16 of us)which saved the hassle of trying to co-ordinate what everybody wanted, but it was a strange mix. You left feeling like you hadn't really had much to eat and an overwhelming after-taste of grease.

To be fair, I'm not a fan of fusion anyway, but this was extremely over-priced food that was less than average although the service was very attentive.

If you're not in a hurry for a drink I would recommend visiting the bar as it's worth it to see the surroundings alone and there's a great cocktail menu.
