Compared with New Mandarin Seafood Restaurant, which carries a $$$ Chinese positioning, Bufala River District should feel less like a splurge decision and more like a casual celebration choice. Choose New Mandarin Seafood Restaurant for a larger Chinese meal or when a higher-spend group dinner is the goal; choose Bufala River District when the night needs to be simpler and closer to the River District area.
