7 of us went to the Chairman and Yip for my Mums birthday and were rather disappointed. The decor of the place was hardly formal. The paper table cloths put over the linen ones were tacky as were the tattered laminated dessert menus.

The wine list was put together in a binder you could buy from Woolworths and did not list any beer or other liquors. The Al a Carte menu was hard to read and we almost had to beg the waiter to get one per person. The food came extremely fast which was good and the prawns in chilli and plum sauce were delicious as were the calamari but there simply wasn't enough food. Their portion size was a little bit ridiculous for how much each main meal cost.

When you're paying $40 upwards per head (excluding beverages) you would hope for a less tacky more formal atmosphere, bigger portion sizes (or lower prices) and menus which didn't look like one of the staff printed them off at home. We weren't fans and won't be returning.
