    If you happen to go here, get the fois gras and lobster dumplings. They are really good. Overall, this place doesn't deserve the attention even though terrace is nice.

    Monk Jumps over the Wall: abalone, fresh scallops, dried scallops, shrimps, mushrooms, baby bok choy, in an herbal abalone broth. Even a meditating monk will jump over a wall for it.

    The menu is steeped in tradition—excellent dumplings and exemplary bird’s nest soup—but flexible enough to offer new classics such as garlic lobster with cheong fun and wok-seared beef tenderloin. Read more

    This is a beautiful restaurant and the place to go for high quality authentic Chinese. They have the best Dim Sum menu with amazing fillings. My favorite are the scallop, spicy beef, and crab. The tab

    Start with tofu appetizer and half a Peking duck. Then beef tenderloin, Kung pao chicken and lo Mein noodles. For dessert go down to Pierrot.

    Ordering the peking duck here is an elegant experience. Though not carved tableside, the meat is laid out in strips, topped with skin so crisp it might cut you. Read more

    Love the atmosphere and the terrace. If it's your 1st time I'd recommend lunch. Service during dinner seems lacking. Recommend the foie gras dumplings...delish! And specialty cocktails
