    We loved everything about this place. I went with my twenty-something kids. The food, cocktails, service and ambiance were amazing. I'd say the noise level was "moderate," but the din was perfect in our opinions. We could hear each other well, even though it was busy, and we could NOT hear the other people's specific conversations. (We didn't have to yell.) The menu is fun and well-conceived, while it provides info about allergies. There were a lot of gluten-free options. We will definitely go back.

    I had dinner here. Beautiful space on the water. The restaurant itself has a cafe feel. Very nice space. Service was great and the people there seemed to all enjoy it. The food was great. I had Peking duck spring rolls - which aren’t on the menu but are available. I also had pork pan fried dumplings. Then I had the spicy filet mignon. I thought it was really good and not that spicy - tasty without being overly spicy. It had a lot of onions with it and I’d probably prefer more bell peppers but definitely would order it again. They have a full bar. Overall I thought it was a great experience particularly given that there are few top notch Asian restaurants in the area.
