The Peking Duck report

The Peking Duck was absolutely incredible, nothing we've had in the
States comes close. The restaurant was quite fancy with a bar
downstairs next to the brick ovens. Upstairs (about 20K sq feet
literally) there are a series of hallways that lead to large dining
areas with grand tables. In addition to the duck we had tuna wrapped
in avocado, a grilled eggplant tower, and soy beans in a delicious
sauce.

They carve the duck at your table and the presentation is so pristine
(see photos in link below). While a table next to us ordered a half
duck (we didn't quick realize you could do this) for three people we
did polish off the entire meal on our own.

The entire meal was $72, including wine and a fancy ice tea raspberry.

We have some photos on our camera but haven't had time to download
yet. In the meantime, the Flickr community has some great shots that
are worth looking at - all very similar to what we experienced.
