It was full of loud rude people.The deserts consisted of SALTED fruit segments as the chocolate fountain was out of order. Delicious.
I begrudge sitting in there for an hour let alone paying for the privilage. A truely 3rd class performance, even the main investor doesn't eat there and who can blame him.

I went the week it opened, and had none of those problems - although I didn't pay the bill. I always get the service charge removed and don't leave a tip if they've added one.

The food when we went was good, and the staff all spoke English - and it wasn't full of "loud rude people".

Having said that, I'm not overly keen to go back again. I prefer a menu based restaurant. I'm not keen on these "buffet" style restaurants much, and found the mix of dishes in MYO to be a bit odd. Give me Aqua, Gallery or Earlsdon Cottage over MYO.
