This is a great spot for a party, the atmosphere is as cool as an ice cold martini but the food can’t compare to The Empire, Portland’s best Chinese eatery.

Experience was great. We were able to have a great conversations and with minimal interruptions. Service was prompt, polite and thoughtful. The entrees were great; however, specifically the beef stew entrees was cool upon arrival than liked -- it should have been hotter. It also seemed to be few pieces of beef. Otherwise, the experience was great!
