So noisy and little provision for western taste.

This restaurant is so noisy whether at breakfast or dinner, it is certainly not the place for a quiet relaxing meal.
The food selection was not good for western taste, and the dinner selection not as diverse as one would expect for the price. Feel it is not value for money as you could not possibly eat as much as it costs or anywhere near it for food that was ordinary. Service is not consistent, though sometimes when quieter the service improves.
Would not recommend or attend again.

Be prepared for noise!

This restaurant is quite different. It is huge and very busy - booking is essential. It is a buffet, but nothing like you will have seen before. Vast range of different stations covering virtually all tastes. Go on a Thursday - seafood - and you get lobster and all the rest with complimentary wines, beers and soft drinks. Remember this place is busy, so don't expect dim lights and candles. Quite excellent however!

Impeccable service, definite will come back!

Had the most wonderful time with amazing food variety and quality. Service in clearing our plates and refill of drinks were very prompt. Found the fresh seafoods the best I've had so far from all my hotel buffet visits. Price was abit steep, but definitely worth it. Would definitely be back!

Not as good as before

I have been to The Line several times. It was not as good as before. The food was sub par although there was a wide variety of food.

Breakfast and Dinner

An excellent spread which covers many different food types including Japanese,Indian and western. This would be a great venue for a relaxed breakfast for family and friends there was even some bubbly on hand so you could make a bucks fizz, all the food was fresh and the service was attentive. The only thing i thought was that the bacon provided could have been of a better quality.
