Food was delicious however for me the ambience is just about as important. Unfortunately the music choice is incongruent with the sophistication of the food and it was so loud it felt intrusive and adversely impacted my experience.

Last night, we were transported to Shanghai for a modern elevated Chinese experience. Very creative, inventive with amazing flavors. Every dish was outstanding and we had many dishes. We even ordered the crab fried rice to go for lunch today. We will be back to try the rest of menu especially the Peking duck!
