Had the pleasure of learning this new restaurant last night with friends who favor it as well. The place was quite busy so "note to self: call ahead for reservation." Despite being a physically large restaurant, it is split into multiple floors. We were on the third floor and I would aim for there again as it was quiet. The tables were spaced comfortably apart, the ceilings high, good ventillation and the public areas of the restaurant and bathrooms were quite clean.
The menu was well prepared with lots of descriptions and good photos. We ordered six dishes (beef with mint leaves appt., mushroom salad, sweet potato and potato dish, dried beef salad, deep fried bamboo worms/bee pupae, braised lemon grass chicken and a pea dish). Everything was delicious and well seasoned - not too salty, not too bland, not too spicy. There were many other things on the menu that we did not get to but I will certainly return to explore with friends... With three large beers, the tab worked out to about 125RMB per person. Maybe a little expensive, but for the pleasant interior and excellent food, well worth it. The "locals" appear to agree as most of the folks eating dinner were Asian rather than westerners.
