Okay, I'm going to give a heads up that I have very few pictures to share, because when the food came it was The Hunger Games, y'all.
Went with a group of 14 or so, and we sat in the side room that was big enough it could have likely seated up to 20 or 25. This size was perfect. After cocktails, we shared a bunch of different appetizers -- chicken satay, a variety of dumplings, spring rolls. Everything was excellent, although I will say I didn't love the chicken satay. It was breaded and the peanut sauce tasted more buttery than peanutty. Don't get me wrong -- I still ate it, I'm not an ANIMAL... So it was good, just not what I was used to.
Main courses? Two words for you: SESAME CHICKEN. This is not your average, hole-in-the-wall, Chinese takeout place sesame chicken (which is still pretty darn good) -- it was light, the chicken was tender, and the sauce had something addictive in it, not sure what it was, but I couldn't stop eating it. We also had the pepper beef which was excellent -- again, extremely tender beef, with a sauce that had a lovely kick to it.
I had only a little bit of the noodles and fried rice that were circulated. I was definitely getting my protein on!
Find a way, somehow, someway, to save room for dessert. How can an Asian fusion restaurant also be an outstanding bakery? Not sure whether they get their desserts from outside or make them themselves, but again, we circulated two platters of small desserts that they cut up for us so we could have a small piece of each. Cheesecake, strawberry tart, creme brûlée that was more like a cross between cheesecake and a traditional creme brûlée, and a magical chocolate THING whose name was, I think, "Oh my god this is so good."
I cannot wait to return to this restaurant. It's an oasis of deliciousness with a speakeasy feel. Highly recommend!
