"Wonderful!. This was a random choice for us because it was raining (again! as we left our hotel (Hilton Garden Inn and we asked for a recommendation from the reception people. I had read decent reviews of it, and have to say that it exceeded expectations on this Sunday evening.<br/ <br/ My husband and I were seated immediately. We both chose the Faroe Island salmon with the summer squash zuke salad with a vinaigrette dressing. I wanted to know where Faroe Island was, thinking it was most likely near Monhegan Island or some other Maine location, but no, it is an island in the North Sea between Norway and Iceland (as my very smart husband knew . So much for local cuisine. But it was delicious, and the veggies were amazing, with a delightful lemony seasoning. When I asked about the seasoning, our helpful server said she would inquire, and soon reported back that the herbs were parsley, mint, and basil. I will try to duplicate it at home, it was THAT good. <br/ <br/ I was accidentally served two glasses of chardonnay, but when an additional server dropped the second glass off and noticed a glass already on the table, he said, 'Oh, you already got your glass. Well, have two and this one is on us. ' Very gracious, and very consumed. <br/ <br/ For dessert, I followed our original server 's suggestion: the lime tart, with gin infused cherries (see photo! . Really tasty!!<br/ <br/ I highly recommend the Old Port Sea Grill and hope your experience is as satisfying as ours."

"I've been a fan of China Club for a long time. It had the best food for my money in Mansfield and a nice quiet atmosphere that was great for date night. My wife and I went to the new location for the first time and I have to say I'm disappointed. The menu was much smaller and has come from strict Asian farewell to some Italian and American pub foods. The new location has more of a sports bar it feels as fine food. There were many loud conversations and TVs with sports. There were also very few private tables and instead there are long tables with seats on each side for a more common dining environment. Maybe. I'm just old-fashioned about such things, but I'd rather have my own table so that my wife and I could have a more intimate experience. The service was fast and attentive, so no complaints there. The food was still good, but some of my previous favorites were no longer on the menu. My wife and I always order potstickers when we come to CC, so we did it again. Unfortunately, they changed the recipe of traditional steamed potstickers to fried dumplings. They were fine, but not what I expected, yet as good as the previous version. I was relieved that my go-to-order, Mongolian beef, was still an option, but when it arrived, it was clear that the recipe had changed. The meat was high quality tenderoin and had a good grilled taste, but there was almost no sauce on it, although it was served with rice, so the dish made quite dry. If I had never been with CC, I would have been satisfied, but I can't help compare it with the old CC and find it missing. I hope the management is made some of what CC so special and not try to make it a glorified Applebee with some Asian options."
