    We had a wonderful experience. We are a family that love to share and try many different dishes. Server Oscar was well informed about the menu and was honest about the amount of food we ordered. He did recommend we take off 2 dishes which we appreciated. That did mean though that we had room to split a couple of desserts which were delicious! Every dish was unique with incredible flavours. Cocktails were creative and unique. Will go again to try other dishes.

    The staff was helpful and energetic. I had their famous slaw and it was delicious. I ordered the lobster dumplings at the servers suggestion. I thought they were average. The filling was bland. I shared with a couple at the bar. The bar stools were simple, had a beautiful fabric however, there wasn't a back on the bar stool. If you are going to offer reservations at the bar, I suggest the seating be substantial enough for a 1.5 hour sit.

    Dinner for two was just over $300. Food and service was excellent. Food was delicious and well presented. The servers always gave a quick summary of the dish. The wait staff were attentive and always there at the right time. It's pricey so I only go there on special nights. That's the only reason I gave a lower star level for the value. The restaurant was busy but it wasn't noisy - just a bit of a buzz. Our table was just off to the side near the bar so there wasn't anyone beside us. It made it a bit easier to chat and not hear the conversation drifting from the tables beside us.

    Food presentation was 5 out of 5 but the food was too salty or cooked too much. Shrimp was over cooked and the steak was well done. For the price of the food it should have been a lot better and it’s not authentic Chinese.

    We were greeted by a happy and cheerful hostess. That set the tone. Once we got our table, Emily took care of us and she was wonderful. Your staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the food they are serving. It was a culinary experience and will definitely be back and recommend your restaurant. Thank you,
