    Delicious food. I come here for 5 years now for my birthday. Started at financial district location and now I also visit the Times Square location. Each has its on vibe. Both have outstanding food, service and atmosphere. My favorite is the duck. I sometimes come just for that and the Philly Cheesesteak Dumplings. I use to stay away from lobster until I tried their fried lobster and now I'm converted. This place is always the first place I mention when asked for a recommendation. Patrons also seem to put effort into how they look which adds to the already great experience. I suggest that when you step in, you were something that will impress because everyone else will be. Finally, its not not pricey buts its definitely worth it and I have neve been dissapointed.

    Loved our server - made my date special and was pretty funny. I ate the paper to the duck for two thinking it was rice paper and not questioning it at all - choking it down with a smile on my face.

    We had a wonderful meal before going to the opera at the Met. The wonton soup was outstanding. I enjoyed the Moo-shoo pork and General Tso’s chicken. Our server was excellent.
