    We’ve been here many times and have always had a great experience. We ordered wonton soup, chowmein and the walnut shrimp. Shortly after we ordered they brought out the soup. Our server scooped the soup Into our bowls and as she left the table a runner brought the main dishes. After finishing the soup I played the entrees and they were cold. I asked the server why the food came out so quickly(which has never been the case prior, if anything they have somewhat slow service) she informed us that WE needed to let her know we wanted the entrees after we ate the soup. friend rice and Our soup showed up and we were just starting to enjoy and next thing you know the entrees showed up. I spoke with the server letting her know that the food was cold and was surprised the entrees showed up almost at the same time. She informed US needed to let her know we didn’t want the main entrees until after we had finished the soup 🤔. I’ve been here many times and have never had the food show up at the same time as the soup. I later asked to speak to a manager and she apologized saying she’d speak to the server. Not one person asked if I’d like hot food instead of the cold food I was served. I have had very good experience her prior but tonight’s was unacceptable.

    Good food, nice ambiance, excellent service. A little pricey, but probably not out of line with other restaurants these days.

    We were there on a concert night, & even with large numbers of people in the restaurant, we received excellent service and delicious food in a timely manner.

    Food was very good. Skip the $12 cocktails specials (sweet nothings) and order a regular drink if you're a drinker.
