a waste of money and time

After reading several awesome reviews and wanting to be treated to a special evening with my family of 4 for my birthday, We paid what I consider to be an absurd amount of money for dinner and was expecting to be wowed only to be terribly disappointed. We arrived early as we were instructed to do and had to wait for almost and hour before we could enter the venue. no seating was provide due to another function being held next door. when we where finally allowed in our waiter could not speak fluent english and the language gap become more and more evident has the night progressed. when you did manage to place a drinks order you either waited for 30 to 40 mins to get if you were lucky and when you did get a drink ( i asked for sparkling water and got still ) i was told sorry no have stock. The show was great the food was not. everything was cold and not served with class or common etiquette one would associate with fine dinning. I requested the wine pairing which sounded awesome . my waiter did not know what i was talking about he finally had to go ask someone senior. he came back to me apologized and then offered me a red wine with my seafood, and then after i corrected him showed him what the other tables were being served he could not fathom why i was complaining has wine is wine. its wine No... the frustrating service ended up ruining our dinner. the couple next to us just got up and left midway through the dinner. i got apologies from the chef from the maître d' but nothing was done to rectify the problem. the staff where placing props that go on your plate on the floor right next to our dinner table. you don't get this at your local spur we tried to make the most of it and prodded on. All i can say thank god Macdonald's was on route to the way home.
