| - Baoding.....I had been hearing about this place since I moved to Charlotte and was dying to try it. The place is gorgeous on the inside....what I would totally expect for a restaurant in South Park.
The food: My boyfriend and I both had the same opinion.....ehhhhhh. It was nothing special. I had soft shell crabs and they were okay, but I was left with a fishy taste in my mouth that never quite went away. The veggies that came on the side were tasty, cooked perfectly. My boyfriend at scallops that were supposed to be spicy but they weren't....at all. The portions were small and nothing to freak out over. Maybe if I tried somethig else.
The service: The servers looked the part for sure, dressed very nicely. When we first arrived, our server was right there and as I tried to order the beer I knew I wanted from the extensive list, he plainly told me, "No, you don't want that one, you want this one." I'm a seasoned beer drinker and I know what I like and I know what I want, so I didn't really appreciate the denial from my server. Also, as soon as our beer was delievered, we didn't see him again until after the end of the meal. Our food (appetizers and dinner) was brought to us by different servers each time.
All in all, I would probably go back, but not any time soon. I wasn't super impressed but maybe trying something different from the menu would help. The beer list is superb and reasonably priced.
