Service was fantastic! We were there at 530 on a Sat and the noise level was perfect. I could see it being very loud in there though. The food was outstanding. We had steak and multiple seafood items. Oh and dumplings for an appetizer and creme brulee for dessert. Pricey but very much worth it

We have been several times and have enjoyed our experiences each time! This last trip we were with our kids and had a great experience. We tried more adventurous items as well as some that we've fallen in love with before. The atmosphere makes you think you're near Chinatown somewhere, our servers have always been friendly and helpful with narrowing down the huge menu and the food is delicious! We've even gotten takeout in the past and it's packed very well and just as delicious! We highly recommend this as a quick meal or a wonderful, delicious experience with friends.

We love this restaurant. First it is beautiful but not trendy. Second the execution of the food is superb. We love the fact you can find traditional menu items still (today was Steak Dianne) and even though steak is featured there is always a variety of seafood, duck and lamb. Service was excellent also. They use first rate ingredients and sauces and salad dressings are house made and exceptional.
