Here goes! (remember, you asked for it! ;- ))

Andy and I thought it was bland and overpriced, the one (and only)  time 
we have dined there.  They seemed to have put a lot of effort into the 
fancy dress and decor, and not much into the chef and ingredients in our 
hubmle opions.  The food was on average salty, but not particularly tasty, 
and I think they must have either had a run on garlic, or didn't realise 
it could be used in the preparation of food to enhance its favour.  In 
contrast, We thought the food at the #1 Chinese Buffet was better (and 
about half the price), so have gone back there in preference.  If everyone 
is up for the Effeminate Dragon, we'd probably give it a second chance, 
but may bring our pillows along to muffle our kicking and screaming.

Cheers!
