    We booked a Lunar New Year dinner and it was amazing! The hotel and restaurant were beautifully decorated. I am a frequent dinner here. The app we chose was the lobster black truffle dumplings. Our entrees were the duck stir fry and the sea bass. Both superbly cooked, hot and fresh. We enjoyed a mango pudding desert. Our server was very attentive, helpful in our order, and the atmosphere was festive.

    Best place to celebrate the Chinese New Year! The hospitality is exceptional. I could tell the whole staff wanted to make the dinner as special as possible. The CNY course menu is delicious and well-designed. The staff was caring and made sure our one-year-old had a wonderful time as well as my 60yo mother.
