I had booked the restaurant for my dad's birthday a month in advance, specifying window seats which were arranged for us.

Overall, service was topnotch, I always find that good service can make a bad meal somewhat tolerable. Not that this meal was bad by any means, but there was nothing that wowed me enough to warrant another visit. In my opinion the restaurant suffers from an identity crisis which is common to almost all western style Chinese restaurants, it isn't sure if it wants to be modern and hip, or really focus on the craft of Chinese cuisine.

No matter, soon the plate couldn't hold the water anymore and I was wary of tea landing on my phone/camera every time the waiters filled up our tea cups.
