    We had very attentive service and the food was wonderful. We tried the Peking Style duck and I have to say it was very different than your standard Peking Duck. The duck had a very intense Smokey flavor, almost overpowering for my personal taste, but not. All the accoutrements were very good with it also. Cannot wait to return to try more.

    First I want to start of by saying the food was outstanding! However the service was mediocre and not seamless. The waiter suggested 4/6 small plates for a table of four. We ordered spiced cabbage, salt and pepper wings, prawn & pork shumai, beef chow, and blue crab rice. We expected to enjoy the fusion of all flavors at once. However the dishes come out in a tiered lineup essentially one item at a time. Our wait time for the food was extreme to point of our meal being comped. The staff was friendly and apologetic which I appreciate. The chilled glass wine cellar is the bulk of the ambience. The nitro espresso martini is one of the best in the city! The parking is awful although heads up they valet parking at the whole foods garage I didn’t know until I saw a sign after I already parked! Ultimately I’ll give them another shot based off the hospitable staff 7/10 overall.
