The mini blue and white holiday lights really added to the festive Christmas ambiance for this visit. The crab bisque was absolutely wonderful. The mixed tempura was incredibly delicious. And the softshell crab was fresh and succulent. My Kang Ped with shrimp however, was a little under-seasoned and definitely needed some salt. It had plenty of pepper, but was a little flat on other spices. My Wife opted for the Pad Med Mammahuang with chicken, and loved it. Our wine selection was perfect, and the mixed Martini drinks were wonderful. Overall, it was a truly wonderful evening at one of our all-time favorite restaurants.
