I try not to post multiple reviews of the same place, but this second visit to Region was a special occasion - Mrs. Page's birthday. She was disappointed enough with her initial birthday meal at Girl and The Fig to suggest (i.e. demand) that we go somewhere we already knew would satisfy her palate. That turned out to be Region.
Despite it eschewing a more descriptive name - like Shanghai, or Shanghai 1930 (both now defunct) - or a classic name - like Lotus Flower - this place adopted the somewhat colder, less expressive name Region. Which Region, exactly, requires further investigation.
We shared the Crispy Shrimp and Port Chao Zhou Rolls, the Beijing Duck, with homemade pancakes and duck sauce, and the Grass fed Mongolian Beef with Black Rice. We knew the meal would be top notch, and so it was.
Region boasts a gorgeous dining room with birch trees that line the back walls, together with a cool bar serving excellent cocktails.
My "but it's not perfect" companion wasn't happy with the techno music chosen as (hardly) background for the evening, feeling the invisible DJ should break out his collection of Asian-inspired chill out sounds, but for me that was a minor observation.
Nevertheless, the Lady's suggestion was that we make Region a regular choice for take out food, and that way she can have a cocktail while we're waiting, and not have to spend all evening listening to Skrillex.
