I wanted a good quick bite after meeting a friend at a bar nearby. As usual most of the good restaurants were packed and I just didn't want to deal with the hassle. This place was almost empty and that made me think twice. But then I

Pros: Decent live music
Cons: The food is toxic -- seriously.
Nice atmosphere and some music couldn't makeup for the blase food. We had to send the first three courses back. This needs improvement.

Ambiance of restaurant was fabulous! They had a live jazz band when we were there. Service was a little slow. For such a nice restaurant, you would like service would be good....but I guess it's the same service with a typical Chinese

I rented the place out for a weekend lunch event. The banquet manager was rude and dishonest when it came to negotiations. The facility and food were fine, but the banquet manager was a no-show for the event and left no instructions for

A nice bar and a pretty dining room, but the food just so-so. Our waitperson was very friendly and she was efficient and helpful. The sommelier, despite a quite arrogant attitude, recommended an excellent bottle of wine, which turned out

This is a nice place to go for drinks and listen to jazz but the food is awful. The service is extremely slow and two of the orders in our party of six were wrong.

While I agree with many of the parts of the previous review, there are some things that I would modify. First, the food has been better. I have been coming here for some time now, and the food seems like it's on a decline. That said

Go somewhere else if you want a romantic, wholesome chinese food... The service was decent, price was threw the roof and atmosphere was intrusive. Easy seating, why not... there were only several tables seated on a Saturday.

As a frequent traveler to China and an oft-described food "nut", I can safely say this is the finest and most authentic Chinese Restaurant in the hemisphere. For those not looking for adventure, the menu is broad and deep enough to please

Pros: Wine list, Prompt service, Jazz band
After an uninterested wait staff served us a fruit platter with moldy grapes on it, they expected us to still pay for it.
Also - we served a soup that tasted like old feet.
I will never step into that establishment again.

Last night we endured what was laughingly called their Valentine's Special menu. "Special" turned out to be flat champagne, served in warm glasses, and it went downhill from there. The tiniest, driest, least flavorful spring rolls we've

Cons: Overpriced, Restricted menu, Sub-standard food
I was very excited to try this place. The decor was beautiful and our cocktails were well made. The appetizers were okay, though the chicken salad dressing was just bland peanut butter with chili oil on it to spice it up, no depth at all.

Pros: setting, drinks

You'd think if the chef/owner were associated with Betelnut, that this would be a similarly swanky place, right? So wrong! The bar was completely dead on a Saturday night, and the furniture was reminiscent of a cafeteria -- blah looking

Cons: dead bar scene, bad drinks
So sad. Great looking place with fun cocktails, great jazz and good bar scene. The food however ... chicken soup was pieces of spoiled chicken in hot water while the rest of the appetizers were also rather poor. Funky meats, bland
