    Everything have changed it was my second time. There is hardly waiters taking a section of 10 table. No service and no management, it looks like they are cutting in labor. Not recommended.

    I’ve had better Chinese take out. The food wasn’t good. Even the wait staff mentioned to us the food wasn’t that good.

    Ambience was the best part. Some food items were a hit and some were a miss, but it just took entirely too long and the server wasn't that great.

    I took my husband here for his birthday on a Saturday around 5 pm. The atmosphere is classic and cozy. Service overall was fine. I think we had a newer waiter, so I have grace. I didn't enjoy the food. The salt and pepper calamari was bland and underseasoned. I ordered the sweat and sour salmon. It was coated with a sweet crispy layer of something lol but it reminded me of funnel cake. I only ate half of it. I will say their crafted cocktails are good and they gave us two glasses of champagne on the house for my husbands birthday. I would only return for pre-dinner drinks.
