My only complaint is there were very few GF options. And of the GFO options, some were actually not available. Too bad because we would have loved to sample many of the Cantonese offerings.

Very nice restaurant decor, excellent service and delicious food. Convenient location at the border of Chinatown. We had dinner that included Peking Duck, a pork appetizer and seafood main with fried rice. All cooked to perfection. Highly recommended. Dim sum is only served mid-day, so will return to try it out.
