Confucius should have said, ""Better a humble home with hearty food than palace with a hollow menu. "" There's Oscar De La Renta china but the proof is always in the food that goes on top of it. I had dinner here per the invitation of a friend who works in the area. The food is okay tasting but what a let down for such a chi-chi establishment. I've had better meals in little less known places in Chinatown that makes you swoon for its real authentic cuisine. What you get is a dressed up version of food that you can make yourself and the carved animals out of veggies is small consolation that you ponied up serious moolah for a less than satisfying meal. I had to grab a hotdog on the corner when we left the palace.
Pros: Elegant Setting, Great Presentation
Cons: Indifferent Service, Meager Portions, Expensive
