This is such a good restaurant. Beautiful atmosphere, lovely setting and excellent staff. And, of course, the food… Peking Duck is simply delicious and not excessively priced. The other dishes were also really good (especially the Kung Pao prawns, though £15 for a small bowl of simple egg-fried rice, no matter how good, was pushing it. The wine-list is interesting, but also expensive. However, dining here really is a treat, and the Peking Duck is stellar.
