| - This is a lovely but pricey restaurant. I came here about a week ago for the first time for a family dinner and they offered a 3 course fixed price menu for $25, which is a very good deal (considering if you ordered from the regular menu, one entree can cost you $25).
I started off with the salad with apples and walnuts. The apples were slide VERY thinly and laid out beautifully in a fan-like shape. The salad was fresh and the walnut provided a nice crunch. There were also some sort of dried fruit in there which was a sweet surprise. I had the halibut for my entree, but I wasn't very hungry so I didn't touch much of it. My mom had the Hong Kong style sea bass, which was MUCH better than my halibut. Her sea bass had this silky texture, almost like tofu, and the light sauce provided just the right amount of flavoring for the fish. We finished off splitting a creme brulee, which was probably one of the best I've ever tried. I'm not a huge fan of the hard candied layer on the top, but what was underneath had this nice dense texture and was just the right amount of creaminess.
One dish that is the highlight of our meal was the crab fried rice. It was SOOO delicious, even better than the awesome sea bass. We all found ourselves continuously reaching for the fried rice despite the fact that none of us had finished our actual entrees. We loved it so much that we decided to order another to take home, and it still tasted great the second day.
One complaint: I barely touched my halibut that night and asked the waiter to wrap it up for me. My fish came with a bed of rice and sauce and a bit of veggies, but when I got home and took out the fish, it was JUST THE FISH. I was very upset, because without the sauce and the rice, how am I supposed to enjoy the whole dish? The fish would taste very dry. And also I had paid for the whole thing, he had no right to throw part of my dinner away! So make sure when you ask for something to go, double check with them that they actually wrapped the WHOLE THING up for you.
Long review short: Get the crab fried rice. Make sure you get your whole dish to go.
