My spouse and I have eaten at Mandarin Cove for years and still haven't had everything on the menu. The lunch menu is a great buy for a reasonable price, and dinner is excellent and still reasonable. I particularly enjoy the Peking Duck, which is served Taiwan style with buns rather than pancakes (though you could request it either way) -- made me glad to be organized enough to order 24 hours in advance. Before the opera we always park upstairs and eat here, such a deal! (Reservations a good idea.)
Pros: Beautiful setting, delicious food.
Cons: Daytime parking can be a problem if First & Jefferson Smart Park is full.
