What a great night! Went with a friend for dinner and had a fantastic experience. The family-style Chinese food was delicious, and the portions were GENEROUS! There was certainly no shortage of food! The service was easily five stars, the food was five stars, and if I could give the decor TEN stars, I absolutely would. The space is gorgeous! My only minor complaints? It was a little louder than I would have liked, and reservations were surprisingly difficult to secure. We booked two weeks in advance for a Saturday night and still couldn’t get a table until 8 p.m., which made for a rather late dinner. That said, the entire experience was wonderful. Beautiful surroundings, delicious food, impeccable service, and great company. All in all, a fabulous evening, even if it was a bit of a late one!

Food and service were AMAZING!! Our waitress was super sweet and friendly. Presentation was immaculate. Definitely not a place I can afford to go too often, but it’s worth the splurge once in a while. Can’t wait to go back.

Food was excellent! Got their black and blue flatbread appetizer for lunch. WOW! Try it! Partner always gets grilled cheese and tomato soup. Can’t beat that either. Great place for any meal. Anthony, our server, is the best! Thanks Anthony!’
