| - I agree with the majority of reviews here, in that the food is pretty typical fare, and way over-priced.
Chicken Pot Stickers: Were almost cold when they arrived at the table. Had to send them back. Once we got a hot plate, we devoured them. VERY good and the sauce they serve with them is wonderful.
Fried Chinese Donuts: Nice, but nothing special. I dipped them in my soup broth.
Filet Mignon Noodle Soup: Pretty good, but didn't blow me away. Seemed a little under-seasoned.
Roasted Pork Belly: Another dish served at an inappropriately cool temperature. Didn't bother sending it back because I warmed the pieces up by dunking them in my soup broth. I suspect if this dish had been served hot, it would have been quite good. It was my first taste of pork belly, so quite disappointing. Upon reflection ... I wish I had sent it back. Dammit!
Kung Pao Chicken: Flavorful, plenty of chicken, yummy sauce. Good, but nothing more than you might find at any decent Chinese restaurant.
Thai Iced Tea and regular iced tea: Yummy!
Service was adequate, but nothing special. One of the bussers couldn't speak English, so she had to find someone who could understand that our pot stickers were cold and we wanted to send them back. Just annoying.
Tab for 2 people, 2 beverages, 5 dishes was $84 and that was after our $10 coupon was deducted. Obviously, you are paying for the location inside the fancy schmancy Palazzo, and the expensive, dramatic decor.
Overall, it didn't suck, but I am not inspired to return any time soon.
