Description
Visitors frequently point to specific kitchen highlights, notably the lamb chops, soup dumplings, and scallops. Over at the bar, the espresso martinis draw explicit praise alongside the wider cocktail list. Combined with attentive service, the lively setting works as much for group dinners and birthdays as for late-night drinks.
