We had a wonderful dinner last night with friends. The vibe in the restaurant and bar is very chill (although the folks at the bar occasionally piped up with great excitement). Food is delicious- don’t overlook the crispy whole fish or the lobster noodles. Dumplings and mushroom croquettes are also fabulous. Service was really great. I highly recommend this place.

Everything was amazing, the service, the food was delicious and the restaurant is fun and well decorated. My only suggestion is that the live music start a little later. The musician was very good, but the music was too loud, our reservation was at 6:15pm
