I wanna recommend this Chinese restaurant that I went for the first time last night.  I like it because ofthe ambience.  It's one of those restaurants with a fancy setting in which you would automatically think of it as Americanized Chinese food; then next thing you know, it's very very authentic!  My friend and I ordered the following and all of them were satisfying:
Chinese Broccoli with garlic sauce
Chili Basil Chicken
Walnut Prawns
Seafood Soup

We paid $60 total for two people (a bit pricey, but you get what you want if you want a quiet environment which you cannot possibly get at an ordinary Chinese restaurant).  I haven't tried their dim sum yet but heard it's also quite good.
