This was our first visit to this up-market Chinese restaurant, and will not be our last. We had an excellent, if brief, meal with dishes which were just about the best we have ever tasted in a Chinese restaurant. we will now rate this very highly, and recommend it to our friends.

I did not have any of the food so I cannot comment on it but the ambience as well as the service and music was amazing. The dj was playing the trumpet and everyone’s energy at the location was nice. There was some confusion about my reservation and it could t be found for some reason initially but another lovely waitress came to assist and cleared up the confusion that I thought was amazing. This is a great location for worth while drinks
