Given previous reviews, I had been under the impression that this place was slipping, so I hadn't come in about six months. I'm happy to say, though, that everything still seems to be top-notch. Great food, great service.

My guest and I both had the tenderloin, which was the best steak I've had so far in Beijing. I also had a soup which was described as "green pepper foam with truffles", it wasn't quite what I expected but delicious nonetheless.

You don't hear much about their cocktails, but I have to say that they were excellent--perfectly made with plenty of booze.

The only caveat I might make is that when we were there, Chef Ana was on duty. It's possible that things slip a bit when she's not (hence some of the not-so-stellar reviews, perhaps) so if you can check whether or not she'll be there before you go, it might be smart to do so.

We're going back again tonight.
