| - I wish I could throw a half star on top of the two I'm giving, but since that can't be done in Yelp!land, two is what's available.
This is a beautifully appointed restaurant, the seating is comfortable and the atmosphere for our lunch was quiet but not stuffy. Our server was personable and seemed very comfortable in explaining the menu.
I had the duck dish, and while the duck was perfectly cooked, the sweet potato french fries were perfectly forgettable. They weren't particularly crisp, and I would have enjoyed more of the baby bok choy instead. The pea soup was amazing! Beautiful flavor and mouth feel, I could have had another bowl. My honey got their version of Pho, and upon tasting their version, know that something better has to be out there. We ordered the Appetizer Platter to start, and everything was OK, and I mean just OK. Not terrible, but also not memory inducing. I was hoping for more flavor from the Pepsi Shrimp, but disappointed. For dessert we had the creme brulee, aah! Crunching into the beautiful sugar crust, savoring that first bite of creamy custard, caramelized sugar and fresh berries, Nirvana!
I'm glad we came for lunch, and the price point is very reasonable for daytime dining. I would come back again, but this wouldn't be my first stop.
