| - This is NOT a replacement of the previous review, but an addendum to it. The 2 reviews provide a combine picture of my opinion.
To do Elegance justice, I'd like to round up my review with a dinner tasting.
The restaurant was about one-third full on a Sunday evening. Given the price range of the dim sum, I was surprised that dinner entrees started at $14 (vegetable dishes). We ordered 3 Mushrooms On 4 Vegetables ($14) and Black Peppered Pork on Asparagus ($14). The portion of the vegetable dish was reasonable, but the meat dish was really small. Both dishes were impressively not oily, and the ingredients were fresh and of high quality. The meat dish tasted better than the vegetable dish. A bowl of rice costed $2, and it was not "round ball" full.
Frankly, I think Elegance offers good food. Dim sum is of impressive quality though small portion. Dinner is expensive for 2 people. Bigger group, say 8 people and up, gets a better deal when ordering a set menu.
Elegance is more of an "event" restaurant to me, instead of a routine weekend dining restaurant.
Overall, 3.5 stars.
