HOCKESSIN: Seafood at the Crownery

On Saturday I had a hankering for Chinese food, which usually means a trip to China Kitchen in West Grove for their delicious take-out food. But we also wanted a sit-down meal, so we decided to try the Crownery Chinese Restaurant in Lantana Square.
Rather than ordering old standards like General Tso's Chicken and Happy Family, we deliberately chose their house specialties. Dearest Partner had the Chilean sea bass with scallions, ginger, beans and mushrooms, and I had scallops and sesame shrimp in an orange sauce with broccoli and walnuts. Even though the waitress (who wrote down our order in Chinese, I noticed) warned us that there might be a delay in getting our food, there wasn't.
Both of our dishes were delicious; in fact, the scallops were some of the best I've ever had.
Dinner for the two of us was $65 without drinks, and there were plenty of leftovers to take home.
