Madison was an amazing host. Her customer service and hospitality was top tier! Manager was also very kind enough to make accommodations for my autistic son. All servers were great as well but Madison’s kindness stood out the most. The food and drinks were also very good. I had a French 75 for the first time and it was enjoyable. I don’t usually drink gin because of the taste, but you can barely taste it.

The lunch deal is an incredible value. Choice of three soups including a great hot and sour soup, two spring rolls, and half a Chinese Chicken Salad! They were accommodating about no wontons and extra crispy white noodles instead, and Chinese hot mustard and sesame oil on the side. Very good black iced tea too. Nice view from the comfortable booths.
