From start to finish the service was amazing. We had the shrimp fried rice, bok choy, and Peking duck. I would order all of them over again. The cocktail program is great and the sommelier has great wine recommendations. Looking forward to going back and trying other dishes.

Best duck I’ve ever had, and I’ve had The Morris’ duck in San Francisco several times (was my favorite until last night!). our soup and chicken wings were a bit over salted but this incredible duck more than made up for those! seriously get the freaking duck!!!!
