    If you're on the hunt for a culinary treasure trove, look no further than this gem of a restaurant! The dumplings here are nothing short of exquisite, bursting with flavor in every bite. The experience is made even more delightful by Stefan, our server, who was both friendly and professional, adding a personal touch to our meal. With such impeccable service and scrumptious food, I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

    Inventive and well-balanced dishes. Poached pear on salad dressed in a perfectly crafted dressing followed by crispy duck breast over risotto and warm but not mushy spinach, under a sweet apple-walnut glaze could not have been better. Even the basic burger my wife had was the best burger she’s had in a long time, accompanied by house-made chips that were light and crisp (but skip those if you’re not a pepper fan and go for the fries instead). Our server could not have been nicer and more helpful, without being pushy or intrusive. And the space is warm and welcoming. We will certainly be back.

    Ordered rack of lamb, seafood pappardelle, and a daily scallop special and all were delicious! The pecan chocolate tartlette was divine and presented with a special greeting and candle for our birthday guest. Highly recommend!
