| - Let's not talk about the food. The only thing worth noting is the remarkable sheen on the vegetables, one that I haven't seen since falling face-first on the freshly waxed gymnasium floor back in grade seven. My asparagus was glistening! Even the noodles looked freshly shellacked.
If we're going to speak in glowing terms, let's talk about the top-notch service, snazzy décor, and delightful cocktails. My Cosmopolitan, served by a wonderfully attentive waiter, was a work of art. Frosty and delicious, it sat proudly on it's little tray, the perfect shade of pale pink, frosty droplets forming on the outside of the glass. It was exquisite.
The décor is also quite splendid, and will fulfill any desires you've ever had to be in a scene from a 1960's movie in a Chinese restuarant. The colour scheme (obviously) is red and gold, with occasional ornamental money-cats, and rounded doorways. Once we crossed the tiny bridge into the dining area, we were seated under a giant Bonsai tree to enjoy our meal.
And enjoy our meal we did. The food was tasty & attractive... albeit a little expensive.
Service? Top-notch, and befitting of a place that puts so much effort into the perfect martini. The staff appeared at exactly the right moments, offering gentle menu suggestions, discreetly offering forks, and removing silver domes with a subtle flourish.
Would we care for another round of drinks? Why thank you! And yes, we will come again.
