Beautiful Room! Most probably the nicest elegant Chinese/Asian Restaurant in Sydney. We had 3 Dumpling Dishes, 1 Appetiser and 3 Main Courses plus Noodles. The Peking Duck was a little disappointing. A bit burned and the pieces were way too thickly cut! The Coral Trout was very nice, so were the Vegetables and Noodles. We shared 3 Desserts and thought these were the best of the food we had. We were 5 People and all of us thought that for such a beautiful Place the food was 70% out of 100%. The Drinks all very nice and the Petit Chablis excellent! The Service was professional. A small thing if one wants to be picky, the Dining Room is on the first floor and the access to it is via a Staircase, so not ideal if someone is disabled.
