The Connaught restaurant has received mixed reviews, with some guests feeling underwhelmed by the lack of Christmas decoration and festive ambiance during the 'Festive Afternoon Tea' service. The room was described as small and noisy, with some diners feeling that there were not enough staff to provide efficient service. However, others praised the food quality and attentive service. The tasting menu and signature dishes were highlighted as excellent by some guests, while others found the menu unadventurous. Overall, the restaurant seemed to have both pros and cons, leaving some guests wanting more for the price they paid.
