Upscale Chinese with prices to match.
Just to explain my 25th anniversary party (business not marriage) was at NYC's best chinese restaurant. I am a sucker for really good, gourmet chinese food. Duck and Dumpling, on Moore Square in Raleigh, is not NYC but it is as close as you are going to get around here. (Also the Lantern in Chape Hill). The duck filled shumai and the lamb shops on papaya slaw with cilantro was...as chef Oliver says...sublime. The servicce was excellent, the wines and beers over-priced (what the hell, it was a good day on the market and you only live once). This is the kind of place where the chef-owner comes around in his toque and whites and talks it up.
Don't bring the kids, but if you want to celebrate an like chinese foood - try it.
Chit-chat at the dinner table: Marcia says they will not take house-side garbage pick-up away from her cold dead hand...in her best Charlton Heston imitatation.
