    Christmas prix fixe menu was just delicious and a good value. Service was efficient and attentive for a bustling night. The only downside- cold in the restaurant. Had to keep my coat on, many diners as well. Lobster Bisque is delicious, the Crab and Artichoke dip very tasty. Entrees were great- PrimeRib, Surf and Turf, tender and well seasoned Swordfish. We would go again and probably will next year.

    We came here for our family Christmas Dinner - it was packed with families doing the same thing! Many were Chinese families, which always is a good sign in a Chinese restaurant. Clearly the restaurant was ready for the crowd becaue they had a good number of wait staff on hand. The food was wonderful! Several of us are vegetarian, and we have 9 year old who is just beginnin to willing to venture beyond his kid-favorite foods. We were easily able to select options for everyone, and we were pleased with all of our choices! We will be back!
