As a vegetarian I find myself drawn to Chinese/Asian restaurants as I am certain to find something on the menu. I chose the crispy eggplant for an appetizer - a stretch for me since I am not a huge fan of eggplant. However I found this appetizer very satisfying in taste and texture. The minced garlic/scallion in addition to the vinegar sauce were quite delightful. I wish I could have echoed this experience with my entree. I selected the spicy Ma Po tofu. I found it odd that rice did not come standard - because this dish desperately needed it. The tofu is very flimsy - I struggled with the consistency. I actually combined some of the eggplant from my appetizer and that helped immensely. As for the sauce on the tofu, it was difficult to discern any type of flavor since all I could taste was spice/hot - almost smoky. Definitely would not recommend this, absolutely nothing good about it.
The meal ended with a complimentary shot of Baileys and probably the best fortune cookie I have ever tasted, almost like a shortbread.
The ambience is fantastic.
I would recommend the restaurant and I will return, just avoid the tofu.
