Won’t return, even the service is fine, and the free soup is pretty yummy.

Dishes we ordered looked aged and bland. The fried fish is too salty. We wanted the king crab but it’s not available. The beef is tender.

$125 for 100 oysters from Island Creek. The park is pretty empty with birds.

知名度为何不如五四? 再次全程参观,发展有不少改动,去袁化的改动,相信不是园方本意. 无语,无奈.
