Editor's Description
Last updated: December 07, 2010
Located just of the Bund in one of the area's many imposing Art Deco buildings, Hamilton House offers a good respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. Step inside the cavernous interior and the pace of life immediately slows down and you can almost smell the romance of 1930s Shanghai.

Awfull!!!!!!!!!! The worst restaurant I made in Shanghai. Half of the menu wasn't available. Very poor quality of the dishes for the price and for sure weren't home made. The entries and surely the main dishes were disfrosted and industrial deserts! A restaurant that seems to be at the end of its life...

What a bad and disappointing experience we had yesterday with my friends!!!
We came for the Shanghai Restaurant Week deal. We had reserved 2 weeks in advanced for 8 people. We arrived around 9.30pm, the place was empty but nice decoration.
Our first disappointment came when we check the menu. The SRW deal was a starter+main course+desert for 248 RMB. If you choose middle range price dishes a la carte you will spend 250 RMB, so the deal was not that great. The problem was that 1/3 of all the dishes were not available anymore and of course including the foie gras, the duck and the chicken dishes (the 3 most expensive ones for sure!). They knew we were coming but all the nice dishes weren't available, how bad rate for the service!
Regarding the food, I took the fig and goat cheese tart. I don't know where was the fig and the tart was all soft and full of sugar. Very bad choice for a french taste lover...
The carpaccios that my friends took were cooked and thick! Isn't a carpaccio suppose to be a THIN slice of raw beef?!!!! A disaster!
The sole fish that I continued with was a very bad chinese river fish with the bad taste of mud. Luckyly, my friends who took lamb was delicious...
The chocolate desert was a total mistake as it is gross pastry that you can't even finish....
So I think that the food was really bad, especially for the prices. I wouldn't recommand at all for any european person as the tastes are horrible.
