sojourn

My group of 10 had a sensational dinner in one of the many private rooms last Friday. The whole place was a fantastic experience, from the decor and service to the food and entertainment. The latter even included one of us reclining and spinning on the huge lazy susan a la Nicole Kidman in "Eyes Wide Shut". We agreed that the place is best described as "Alice in Wonderland meets Eyes Wide Shut" Our friends have asked what we ate, and it is hard to describe - so many exotic courses in the exotic banquet, so "Asian International Fusion" will have to do.The Oyster Bar and Club Room are also amazing. So many places, so little time!

I've heard the food isn't as impressive as the place (that'd be hard to do, I imagine), but I've never felt the need to eat when I went there. The place is a feast for the eyes and even if you didn't have a bite to eat all night you wouldn't leave hungry. Designed by Phillipe Starke, the place is dazzling, and it's not wonder Beijing's starlets go there. It's perhaps the only place where anyone would find it hard to pay attention to them. The drinks are well mixed and creative, the perfect accessory for the place.

Matching the expectations for China of investors and youngish jet-setters, Lan offers the perfect venue for self-made men and women to parade their style.

I'm really trapped in betweens.

Feast for the eyes, not the stomach.

Ok, if you have a very important guest, like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs and you need a place to really really dine to impress, this is the place then. Just note that your credit card will most definitely swipe lots of ZERO.

Otherwise if you're just bringing a date, just stop for the cocktails and dont even start with the menu.

Food for me is just so so, nothing impressive.

LAN is cute with a funky vibe. Certainly not a feast for the eyes! If you have taste, go to FaceBar to feast your eyes upon delectable art and fine cuisine. I found LAN to be very wannabee. (I only saw the main hall, entryway, large dinning room, bar and row of gaudey bathrooms... there were two or more rooms I did not see because they were reserved for a company event... perhaps these are what everyone above was raving about?) The staff is nice enough, and the patrons were cool. LAN is a decent place for taking associates when you have an expense account at your disposal.

Does anyone else feel like they're in a transition scene from "Ocean's 11" while sitting in the LAN Club? I mean that as a compliment. The LAN Club offers some fantastic scenery to go along with the meals.

No two tables, chairs, pictures or plates seem alike. With a ceiling covered in framed paintings, Victorian-styled tables lining the dining halls, private bathrooms, a jazz club and several long bar rooms, LAN is nothing less than extravagant. One could spend several hours poking around the South Beauty Group's creation.

As much as one could rave about the interior decor, the food is another story. Typically, one comes to a restaurant to eat food, not to sample it. LAN's portions are simply too small. While they've got a robust wine selection, this isn't a restaurant where one gets the most out of the meal.

Liked the martinis, was amazed by the decor but was disappointed with the food. It certainly did not live up to the surroundings or warrant the staggering price tag.

I think in the future I would stick with the drinks and the people watching.
