oooopppps
Made the mistake of thinking that I would be able to have dim sum for dinner here - not the case, dim sum ends at 4 or 5. O well, I'll just have to go back again.
1) I like that the space is divided so families can have there own space without disturbing smaller groups.
2) Nice decor - it is a little sparkly and may have a rather surprising number of chandeliers, but really this felt like a nice way to bridge expectations of high-end decor.
3) bring a group - eat family-style, try many different things and for those of us still experimenting with Chinese cuisine you'll have an adventure :)
4) the service was very attentive, perhaps because the main dinning room was quiet on a Saturday night - not sure this would be the case during the day when dim sum is available (will report back on this).
5) HUGE dinner menu - this isn't actually surprising, but if you are looking for delicacies or "standard fair" you can find it here. Our server was good at giving us some direction about what to combine since we didn't feel like going for one of the set menus
6) Everything seemed fresh - the vegetables were nice and crisp, the meat was nicely cooked.
7) The servings were generous - for four people we started with soup (a variety available) and then order two meat dishes, a mixed vegetable, and a fried rice for those a little intimidated. We kept things on the low end of the price scale, so the main dishes were on average $20.
8) Enjoyed the complementary red-bean cookies for dessert
