Back to some old favorites tonight - Bang-bang shrimp and Salmon Oscar. As a teaser, I first ordered "double-barreled shrimp" which I then translated to "bang bang". A small dish piled with many small, succulent, wonderfully spiced shrimp ready to pop in your mouth. So light and tangy I demolished the entire plate. The salmon comes over angel-hair pasta with a sauce filled with small lumps of crab. Moist and tender, bite-sized pieces are easily pulled from the serving, accompanied by one or two crab lumps and some pasta. A true gourmet's masterpiece. Had wine with dinner but a glass of Port with dessert. Wonderful night.

Service was very good. Food very good. We had outside covered seating however the table was 25 or so yards from busy street and was noisy. A sound barrier would have helped.
