Dim sum is a necessity and live seafood is a plus. A new restaurant that has all of the above is Peony, which opened in early October. It shows on this menu. Peony's original menu focused on seafood. A newer, more colorful one has a broader scope but is minus a few distinctive items like sea cucumber, fish lips and abalone but there are still more than 70 entrees to pick from.
Lunches offer bargain-priced entrees and dim sum.
Dim sum is not new to this area but it was always served on weekends. Peony offers it seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The lunch menu has 54 items, the most exotic being a duck feet wrap. Unless you crave the texture of rubber bands skip it. But give it a few minutes to cool.
