    I was traveling for work so I made a reservation at the bar. The staff were so attentive, had excellent recommendations, and even wrote down a list of other great restos in the city to check out while I’m here. The food was fantastic! My favorite was definitely the scallops although everything was absolutely delicious and really interesting and inspired! Was very glad I checked it out; they even did half portions for me bc I was dining solo. Truly epitome of hospitality! Highly recommend!

    Delicious food, artfully plated, accompanied by nice wine. The restaurant is small and too loud for us to hear each other talk.

    This Peking Duck is absolutely fabulous. WOW. Was very impressed. My husband is a “connoisseur”of Peking Duck, having eaten this over a 1000 times. We found this duck meat succulent, seasoned very nicely, delicately in contrast with the duck skin which had its own hints of favour with a crispiness that avoided being soggy or heavy tasting. This duck paired well with the crunchy flavourful fried rice. The broccolini and crispy slightly spicy fried chicken were very flavourful with interesting elements not typical in these dishes. My only critique would be the dumpling which I found was too small a bite. The truffle was too delicate for me. The toffee dessert was large size portion and a nice end to our birthday celebration.
