Beyond exceptional meal and service in a gorgeous, quiet setting. This meal knocked it out of the park, and my spouse and I commented after only our first bite how wonderful it was not to be disappointed or underwhelmed as is so often the case these days. Every course was a grand slam, service was impeccable, and the venue so comfortable and beautiful. Surprisingly, we were not shocked at the prices, which were very reasonable, especially given the quality. Bravo to all involved. Not a single criticism. Perfect!! We will be back. [Note: dim sum, crispy tofu, braised eggplant, sea bass, crispy beef tenderloin, red rice … all perfect]
