We had our reservation at 3:30 pm and it was really nice and quiet. My girlfriend said that the ambiance was really cozy. The waitress was very nice, and funny. She gave us some good recommendations on the food. Entrees were really nice. The flavors played very well with each other. It was a very nice location to have a peaceful and relaxing dinner.

This is a new concept for P.F. Chang’s was being in a shopping mall. It’s one big open space and very noisy. It recently opened this new location, a couple of weeks prior to our visit, but the staff was fabulous. The food was good, but the prices are very high compared to other P.F. Chang’s, but I have visited across the country.
