don't judge this place by the quality of its lunch specials (although i understand why they need to have lunch specials for those on tight time schedules, they are a family owned place and the staff is always on the run taking orders, cooking and running the food back to you!)
This is the perfect place to go for a quiet relaxed dinner where all you want to do is sit back, enjoy a good conversation with friends and savor the delicious dishes. Quite an interesting menu with high quality food and I love that you can walk in and order the roasted duck without advance notice. I started coming to this place years ago with a group of community leaders who liked to have dinner meetings there, and have been going back ever since. Lots of regulars amongst the customers and it's not unusual to see a large family group come in for dinner to celebrate someone's birthday around one of the large round tables.
This restaurant bravely weathered a downturn in their business all through light rail construction, If you haven't been there in awhile it's time to get back there! You can see it across the street (to the north) from the Camelback and Central Ave light rail stop and there's ample parking in the lot out front.
