Excellent food, attentive service, and a lovely dining room—it's hard to go wrong. The carpaccio is excellent, especially for a seafood-centric restaurant. Paella was good, too. Dining companion enjoyed the Monkfish very much. Wish they had more local seafood options.

My husband and I went to the Q for an early dinner before the theater. We have been to this restaurant several times and never been disappointed. The staff is friendly and helpful, from the host at the check in station to the server. The menu is long with many choices, so guidance was appreciated. Everything was delicious. We had spring rolls and Japanese pot stickers for apps. We ordered Mongolion cumin beef - a unique taste. The Kung Pao shrimp was yummy with the right amount of heat. We will definitely be back.
