    I have to say, we had a fabulous time at China Live and fantastic food and drinks. We knew we were dining on a very busy night (after the Lunar New Year Parade) but had made reservations well ahead of time. Despite the busy evening, the restaurant went above and beyond to make sure we had a lovely dining experience. The special steamed fish was absolutely amazing. We will definitely be going back. I was impressed with how the restaurant prepared for unusually large crowds and gave forethought to the circumstances.

    Small plates were, as always, very good. We also ordered a whole steamed trout, which was fine, but not particularly memorable (a far better move would have been to have skipped the trout and gotten three more small plates instead). Also, as an off-menu option offered by our server when we ordered the Misoyaki grilled scallops, we took a caviar accompaniment, which I don't think I would do again (the scallops ($22) were great, while the thumbnail-sized portion of caviar ($15) didn't really elevate the dish that much. Restaurant was also a little bit cold this time, possibly because we were sitting closer to the door than in past visits.
