Ate her in a private room with about 7-8 colleagues. The private room has a surcharge, but is nice if your group is large and gets you private servers. We were fawned over, excellent service. Beer flowed freely as continuously different dishes were rolled in.
The menu is extensive, large with page-sized pictures, with many things none of us had ever heard of before. Elegant plating. We considered the turtle soup but by then we'd ordered so much food we were afraid we wouldn't finish it. Had my "braised jellyfish" here, which was tasty and a very interesting texture. Also some spicy fish, lotus hearts, a couple of ducks, etc. etc. In total we must have ordered around 12-15 different dishes.
Whole meal took us probably around 3-4 hours, but was totally worth it. With all the restaurants in Beijing to choose from, I wouldn't be surprised if someone found something better, but for somebody in town for a week or so, this is an excellent place to have quite spectacular Chinese food in a fancy setting.
Dongsishitiao location.
