    The egg rolls were a great appetizer. My wife ordered the sea bass and really enjoyed it. The filet mignon and green beans were great. Overall the service was excellent. My only issue was the volume of the music. It was way too loud. Some background music is acceptable but the volume was too high. Conversations were difficult.
