Fodor's Review:
History and a prime Central Business District location are both draws for The Seamstress. Before it was a restaurant, the space was used as a tailor shop, a brothel, and even a Buddhist temple. Sewing machines, spools of thread, and swaths of fabric decorate the three-floor bar and restaurant. Inventive cocktails, such as a gimlet with pomegranate, are more satisfying than much of the Cantonese-inspired food. Spicy rare duck with chile was among the more interesting dishes while the daily dumpling special was dull. The primarily Aussie wine list features lively descriptions and the crowd is packed with young and hip urbanites.
