I've been to three Mandarins, and this is so far is the best out of the three. The decor is much more toned down; I can't stand gaudy, over-the-top decor. Food is similar except for the creme brulee YUM! Service is more upbeat and happy, as well as efficient in clearing plates, topping off water glasses and taking pictures for their patrons. What surprised me was that they handed out pre-moistened, scented washcloths before AND after our meal. It's the little details that earn an extra star for this branch.
