Description:
If you want romantic, extravagant Chinese, come to Tommy's. Fashioned after the 19th-century quarters of the Empress Dowager's sitting room and replete with mood-lit candelabras and antique paintings, it's perhaps the only Chinese restaurant in the city where dressing up is apropos. Most evenings, the dining room is filled mostly with tourists and traveling business types, while locals are more likely to come for the fixed-price lunches (the multi-course "Executive Luncheon" is a bargain at $23). Not much changes on the expensive, French-influenced Chinese menu, but that's fine with the loyalists who return year after year for such beautifully presented dishes as minced squab in leaves of lettuce; sautéed lobster with mushrooms, chives, and angel-hair crystal noodles; and puff-pastry-topped creamy lobster bisque. During my visits, the food has varied from fine to very good, but the portions are always substantial and the decor is definitely memorable.
