Family of 4 went to celebrate father's birthday, as he craved for seafood, but don't want to have tons of food from buffet and Japanese "fong tais". Arrived at 6:45pmThe restaurant is located on the 1/F of a hotel, the hotel exterior looks classy, but some might think of some "special" type hotels. The restaurant itself is very nice, warm lights, different sized tables for big groups, cool-themed bar.The 4 of us ordered from the SOCIAL DINING SET ($438/person, minimum 3 person; one platter, two
