Excellent service and great guidance regarding selection. Food was outstandingly delicious and interesting too. The cocktail offerings looked creative; I wish that I had had one! The reception was warm and friendly and unrushed. Very attractive interior design and artwork/photographs. Very enjoyable time was had by all.

I understand that it’s Christmas, and service might be impacted due to staffing issues. However, during the two hours we were there, we only saw our server once. She never checked in to see if we needed anything, and we experienced long waits for both our food and the check. The dessert we ordered never arrived and had to be removed from the bill at the end. Most of the dishes were overly salty. The most disappointing was the Royal Crown Fried Rice—it looked amazing in the picture, which is why I ordered it, but what arrived was nothing like the photo. On the plus side, it was the only dish that wasn’t too salty, though it still wasn’t appetizing. This was our first time here, and unfortunately, it will also be our last.
