I've been to a prior Peking Duck dinner, held by Doris Huang, and it was superb, one of the best in the Boston area. She is a true professional, a highly skilled chef, and genuinely nice. I cannot recommend this event enough, and if you love duck, then you must make a reservation to enjoy this delectable dinner.
