V & A's Dome or No Dome, that is the question

[Allensfan]

I thought I had it all figured out...heard under the Dome was noisy in Victoria and Albert's and now, since I had some questions below..I realize that maybe asking for a table in the fireplace room was a mistake.

Keep in mind, if the dinner were not costing an arm and leg and maybe a kidney, I would not bother to ask...but since I am here, I might as well find out.....

Where is the best place to sit at Victoria and Albert's. Help

We sat in the dome last month, and it was fine -- until someone enjoyed the wine pairings a little too much, and began talking in a loud voice about the great restaurants of Las Vegas (great acoustics in that dome!) Fortunately, we were near the end of our dinner -- but your fireplace room may be a good idea if you want to ensure a quiet setting.

It really is not noisy there (noise is relative) and you can hear the harpist better. The best place to sit, however, is at the Chef's Table.

We've sat in both but prefer in the fireplace room. It's nice and peaceful yet you can still hear the harp. I think we also got better attention from our servers.
