Editor's Description
Last updated: December 7th, 2009
This restaurant offers a lot of charm on top of the ridiculous view of the Bund. Upon exiting the elevators you are transported into a collector's paradise as the restaurant itself is designed in fashion of an actual apartment - complete with dining areas meant to reflect a living room (with comfy chairs), dining room, library, and kitchen. Food is old-fashioned Continental classics, with a few modern flairs.

So, this was my 2nd time to the restaurant and although a bit pricey, it was an anniversary dinner so we decided to return for the "vue". The evening started out well with my fiance ordering the 4 course set menu and I choose to have the Iberian ham & melon, risotto, and lobster thermidor. Everything tasted pretty good with nothing being amazing. My biggest gripe was the lobster thermidor -- for a dish that cost over 500RMB, it was 1/2 a lobster shell with maybe 3 pieces of lobster and over 15 chunks of mushroom. (I counted because I don't each mushrooms so took them all out... what I was left with was pretty pathetic.)
Granted, those three pieces of lobster tasted pretty good and according to my fiance, the mushrooms were quite good too, but to charge 570rmb? You shouldn't be stingy when you're charging that much. The 4 course set menu cost less than that! And of course being in Hyatt on the Bund, the additional 15% service fee....
Anyways, other than that, the only other thing was my dessert (a souffle, no less) came out a good 20 minutes before my partner's. The waiters didn't seem to be too concerned even though we inquired about the other dessert twice. Maybe they're not used to people with manners who know that everyone should be served before beginning the course...
