Bao Bei

One of the waitresses at an amazing Indian restaurant (blogged here) had recommended Bao Bei to us. After looking at the website, it was a cute and girly brasserie and was the perfect setting for Mother's day dinner.
Exterior. Located in Chinatown.
We got there a little befored they opened so I got some great pictures of the super cute interior.
Loved all the details and the color tones. They open at 5:30PM and fill up quick! It was completely full within 15 minutes after opening.

The small portioned plates are perfect for sharing and getting to taste a little bit of everything.




We started with a cocktail, none of which I was impressed with. It seemed creative on the menu, but it didn't taste great. Shared this bottle of Syrah (from their limited wine list). We really enjoyed this wine, although it was a Napa wine. Ha.
Dessert: Assorted Ice Cream
This was so delicious and the flavors were unique: 5 Spices, Jasmine Tea with Caramel Brittle and Coconut. My favorite was the Jasmine Tea (in the front), simply divine. 
Overall, I really liked this brasserie. It's so feminine and is ideal for a girl's night out or a date.
