Romance, romance! Old jazz tunes play in this traditional Chinese courtyard decorated with coal furnaces and art deco furniture. There's no menu -- the chef serves up a set meal in courses -- so it's perfect for couples or small groups who want to try a range of southwestern Chinese dishes. Items include papaya salad, grilled fish, and stir-fried chicken -- all fairly light and healthy. The restaurant is perfect for people who don't like the stress of ordering and would prefer to concentrate on the ambience. The food is perfectly fine, but nothing will knock you out of the courtyard.
