Martinis were so good !!! The lobster dumpling are special, small yet carry a wonderful flavor. Scallops were great and so were the desserts.

Food is always amazing! We had the steak egrolls, which were delicious! The chef specialty Chilean Seabass was outstanding. And the Rotisserie chicken never disappoints. We also had some very good drinks. I highly recommend the raspberry chocolate martini. And our server was top-notch. He kept our drinks filled and was on top of everything! The ambiance is always on point. Definitely need to try if you haven't. Or go back again!
