We sat for 30 minutes with no drinks and our order had not been taken. There is a difference between leisurely dining and being neglected. HOWEVER, once the server turned his attention to us, he was very good. The shared dished were plated and split table side, so no messy dumping of dumplings. One unpleasant surprise was the cost of a premium drink. No problem charging more for the good stuff, but there are limits. Macallan 12 should not be more than $25. They charged $35. All the food was great!
