Did you pay $200 per person or able to get a discount?

what is the dress code?

How long start to finish.  Is the live music quiet enough that you can talk to each other.

we booked in advance at $200 per person. but we did have the UDP. once we were on board, we asked the diamond concierge to have our reservations adjusted. if you aren't diamond, guest services could probably help with this. the restaurant "canceled" our reservations, then rebooked us as the $130 rate. so we were refunded $200 each, and then charged $130 each at dinner.

We did get dressed up, as did all of the other 36 people in our seating. Some had fun with it, with Gatsby-style clothing. I think the official code is jackets for men. Most women were in dresses, some more sparkly and formal than others.

We were asked to meet in front of the restaurant at 6:20pm. Doors closed at 6:30pm. We left around 9:15pm. So it was several hours. The music was wonderful. A bass player, a pianist and a singer. It was great background music, not obtrusive at all. After some of the songs, the diners would applaud, but it wasn't like anyone was truly focused on the music.
