    The ambience was great and the decor, just wish the size of the portions of the entrees were bigger for the price you’re paying. While we did enjoy the night, getting our food did take awhile compared to the tables next to us and made us not really stay longer to enjoy our meal.

    Our first time dining here. Was beautiful and food selection was very good. A little disappointed that when we ordered tea for 2 we actually got tea for one and the one’s cup was dirty!! When the waiter came back he brought the 2 cups, both clean, but only one very small tea pot and honey pot with spoon. This may be picky but when you are paying $7.50 for tea for 1, I expect it to be correct. We did eventually get a second very small tea pot - but no more honey and small spoon. I suppose I am dissatisfied that the attention to detail was not carried through by wait staff/management. We will definitely go back if for nothing else than to try their amazing desserts!!!

    Lava cake wasn’t good, no lava. That’s the whole point of that dessert, so very disappointing.

    Everything was absolutely phenomenal from my husband and I walking into the restaurant, being able to get our table the timing was excellent was not a long wait. The server was amazing, the service was excellent, The Food was brought out no sooner than we had ordered, the drinks were great as well. They took our picture before we left their fine establishment. I recommend having a reservation before hand but overall everything was great.

    I eat at fine dining restaurants a lot. The food was below subpar. The shrimp dumplings tasted raw. The seven seasons shrimp was flavorless. The only thing that was good was the red velvet cheesecake. I've never been sooo disappointed in my life.
