Fodor's Review:

This is high-style Vietnamese food served up in a French-colonial time machine: stamped tin ceiling, period photographs, slow-moving fans, and tropical plants. Local society types come for the sea bass steamed in banana leaves, tiger prawns in coconut curry, and lamb chops with grilled eggplant salad. They also like to pick from among the big selection of fried or fresh appetizer rolls, filled with everything from shredded duck to Dungeness crab. Downstairs are two large and rather formal dining rooms. Anything goes upstairs in the lively lounge: you can eat, you can dance (Thursday through Saturday nights), or you can just sip a cocktail at the bar and unwind.
