    We were there for our anniversary and they put us next to the big room with pocket doors and there was an event going on at the time, servers were going back and forth setting up food next to our table, it was terrible.

    we celebrating my 80th b-day with friends, the noise from the bar was awful, large party screaming and shouting, this went on for one hour and half before they moved to a private dining room. Food was good, service good but expensive, but don't get to be 80 everyday, pity it was spoiled by uncouth crowd!

    Duck was extremely rich, which is to be expected, but well prepared. Service punctilious to a fault, wine considerably overpriced, nothing affordable by the glass.

    Pricey not especially well-executed food in a noisy room with insistent, not gracious, service. I won't be returning. Too bad, I love the location and the promise of something wonderful.

    Love this place so much! Plus, we were staying at the Mandarin which is doubly convenient. Can’t say enough good things about this wonderful restaurant. The service is fantastic and the food is superb! Try the bar area too! Best oysters on the planet!

    We had a very good experience. The food and our server were excellent. We were celebrating two birthdays and they served us a birthday pastry which was very nice. We did not feel hurried and really enjoyed our time .
