I always have a tough time choosing between the roasted Mandarin quail on noodle pancake and herb-crusted New Zealand lamb chops for dinner.
Desserts made with fried bananas and the Oriental ice creams are delights.
The landmark stagecoach stop is all new on the inside with multicolored fabric in the booths and geometrically inspired artwork. A special cigar room is featured, and the outdoor dining area, open in warm weather, is one of the city's prettiest. The signature dish is a whole sizzling catfish with black-bean chili sauce served as an appetizer. Azalea's salads are large enough to act as entrees. A special salad made with buttery beef tenderloin and romaine that I had one evening deserves a place on the regular menu.
