    Xiquet is more than dining. It is a special experience. The food is creative and outstanding. The service delivered by friendly knowledgeable staff makes you feel like you are the only people in the restaurant. The creative yet meaningful experiences like after dinner tea leave you feeling like you experienced a moment.
