About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
Dumpling enthusiasts and champagne lovers alike can indulge in in the elevated, yet unpretentious fine-dining experience offered in this sexy, and intimate underground hideaway. The menu honors Cantonese classics with dishes Char Siu Bao, while creative offerings such as Lobster Dumplings with Scallion Sabayon showcase culinary innovation in this celebration of Chinese American fare. A deep champagne and wine list complements the menu, and at the 11-seat Pink Italian Stone bar, classic cocktails are shaken up with unique spice combinations and Asian-produced liquors, like an Old Fashioned riff “Old Prosperity” made with Bourbon and Amaro Nonino at Portland, ME

Note: Table reservation durations: 1.5 hours for parties of two, 2 hours for parties of 4 or more. Walk-in seats are available at the bar.

    Very yummy. It’s like tapas style so we did a bunch of the small plates. The wontons in chili oil and the soup dumplings stick out. The lucky bags were good too. Chili crunch on the side. They also give everyone a little flight of sauces; dumpling sauce, chili crunch oil and an apple apricot or peach sauce. Very nice staff and atmosphere.

    Service was quick and attentive- our server, Lucas, had great recommendations and we were never in need of anything. The music was great (although just a bit on the loud side, it didn’t impede conversation) and the ambiance was perfect.😍
