"I stayed at the attached Hampton hotel on business and was looking for a great dinner where I could dine alone. I was told by the desk to try this restaurant. I walked in and was astounded at how beautiful the restaurant and bar were, it was during the Christmas season. I was given a corner table by the hostess which I loved. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant and was impressed by the menu (I have worked or consulted for some very high restaurants/retailers in Manhattan). I had a waitress, if I'm correct her name was Amy. She came off as very professional but in some ways sweet. She was a great waitress. She brought me my order perfectly timed from my cocktail to my wine to my appetizer to the entree and to the dessert. I knew I picked the right place when I ordered a Negroni and it was perfectly made. I had a great salad but I was most impressed by the cassoulet. I've eaten in Paris, Montreal, NYC etc. and it was probably the best cassoulet I have ever had. It was delicious! Everything else was also very good including my chocolate dessert. Unfortunately my espresso was poorly made. The flavor was there but not the technique. After my meal I felt so comfortable that I decided to stay a bit longer and asked Amy if the restaurant carried Amaro. She didn't know what they were and the bartender Peter immediately came to my table and explained what he had. To my surprise he had Amaro Lucano, a spirit from my wife's small town in Italy. Very hard to find. The bar has an awesome menu of wine, spirits and beers. He gave me the drink on the house and recommended that I try one of his drinks called a Boulevardier. It was excellent. Most importantly Peter was very professional and maybe because of my being in the food business too, he told me about the restaurant and gave me a tour. I totally felt his passion about his job which was great to see! Anyway he was a great bartender. In short, I totally loved this restaurant from its ambiance to its menu to its staff. Wish it were in NYC. Can't wait to go back!"

"Today is my birthday, and my husband invited me to have dinner here. The two of us ordered six dishes, wow! The portion was so big that I couldn't finish it, so I ended up packing it up and taking it back. When I started ordering, I ordered husband and wife's lung slices, a famous snack in our hometown. My Shandong husband didn't understand, so he directly told me what's delicious about my lung slices and who should eat that! When the food arrived, I took a bite and said it was delicious, so I kept picking up the food. The food was served quickly, and all 6 dishes were ready in no time. My husband said every dish was delicious and praised it full of praises, of course! I ordered all the classic dishes from our hometown. Eating the delicious dishes from my hometown, I suddenly felt like I had returned to China. I really missed home! I haven’t been back for several years... The business of this store is really good. The two of us drove here after get off work and all the seats were full. There were some people waiting in line at the door. We waited for about 20 minutes after queuing up. The young man at the front desk had a special personality. Okay, it made people very happy. I asked him his name was Xiaobin? Or this soldier? Anyway, he is very talkative and makes people happy anyway. When I said today was my birthday, he immediately wished me a happy birthday, which is really heart-warming! Thank you Xiaobin! All staff provide warm service, thank you! Let me have a great birthday! By the way, the boss also gave me two bottles of iced black tea as a gift, thank you boss! I wish you a prosperous business and abundant financial resources! The food here is not only delicious, but the portions are also very generous. You can't believe that such a big plate has so many portions. The price is really affordable. The portions are so generous that I'm worried that the boss won't make money! It should be small profits but quick turnover. Thumbs up for your warm service and thumbs up for your delicious food! ???????? When I left, the receptionist Xiaobin said that he was still preparing birthday sweets for me, which was really heartwarming! Thank you for being so thoughtful! ???? However, the two of us ate very quickly. After finishing our meal in three times, five times and two times, we were ready to leave, unlike most guests who eat at a slower pace. Xiaobin blames himself very much and apologizes, but I am already very satisfied because I enjoyed the meal and he also gave me blessings at the beginning. It’s all good! Once again, I would like to thank Xiaobin and all employees. I wish you a happy life and happiness every day!"
