Editor's Description

Last updated: February 08, 2012

Table No. 1 is a casual mod-Euro restaurant. It's the first post-Gordon-Ramsay project from Jason Atherton, a London chef who just split from nine years with Ramsay's restaurant group. Atherton developed Maze and Maze Grill for Ramsay, opened a few int'l off-shoots, and has now gone on to do his own thing. Spare, plain, uncomplicated. The restaurant is a box with plate glass on two sides; one overlooks the street, one overlooks a minimalist interior courtyard. Expect to spend three to 400rmb per person, depending on your configuration of Snack Plates, Small Plates, Meat & Fish Plates, Vegetable, and Dessert Plates. With two exceptions, everything on the food menu is under 118rmb.

This place is amazing... set in a fabulous hotel with modern industrial interiors. Its an impressive yet down to earth place to take guests - especially as there is also a rooftop bar. I have been here many times now and the service and food is super consistent.

The food is hearty and flavorful - western - really delicious and a great choice of wine too.

the service is impeccable - super attentive staff who will go out of their way to take care of you.

I usually love the fish plates here - but i am totally in love with the interiors. Dessert is also good.. my motto is if the place has great appetizers, main and dessert - it's well worth it to go back..and it won't break your bank.

overall - it has a relaxing atmosphere, chilled - great to hang with friends for a low key evening as well as a creative crowd.

If you are bringing a date - ask for a side table - or else you might end up on the long center tables which are fun too if you don't mind sharing with strangers - more interesting conversations.

A must go spot.

Due to the rain had a drink at the Waterhouse lobby lounge rather than the rooftop bar. Like most hotel lobby lounges it had zero atmosphere regardless of the "designer" environment.
The restaurant itself is fairly small and casual with some tables for two and some communal tables. Our waiter suggested ordering an entree and a main would probably not be enough and strongly recommended a side-salad or potatoes but acknowledged he didn't know how hungry I was. I declined but he ended up being right, both all the dishes were on the small side. However, more importantly all the dishes we ordered; the mackeral, tuna tartar, duck-ham Waldorf sala and the sole with squid rice were all fantastic, really some of the best western food we've had in Shanghai.
Both the service and the price were nothing to complain about nor rave about. All in all, despite the hype of the Waterhouse & Table 1, the only fancy stuff at this restaurant was on the plate, which is just the way I like it.

Ah Table No1,
wished I could love this place.

Great design and location for a Boutique Hotel,
very Industrial modern stylish design by Neri and Hu architects.

Interior design of the restaurant, sophisticated with that lofty look; hip from Berlin, Montreal to NYC.

the praising stops there.

to simply put it;

Portions are too small to share and prices are to hefty to order it 2 times....like 70kuai for a Mushroom side-dish? Cmon!!
+that 15% service fee, etc. Simply, for a city with Shanghai where you have great value and also great destination to splurge for foodies...Table No1 falls short. And at those price, you don't want to be eating on a Canteen style table rubbing elbows with strangers beside.

Went there 3 times and feel like it was 2 times too many. Others patrons felt the same

Sad because it's a nice setting; just change the restaurant altogether.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city and my boyfriend and I will end up here at least once a week and sometimes even more! The food has never let us down yet and it's really a great place to take visitors to the city. The service is generally good and efficient, but on a couple of occasions when it has been very busy things have come to a halt and we have had to remind the servers what we are waiting for. Still nothing new in Shanghai and still much better than many of the other Bund restaurants.

Great set lunch. Grilled chicken with lemon and roasted garlic is delicious with crispy skin and juicy meat.

Food is spot on

KarenCHI, Jan 19, 11

To try - The food is casual, smart, clean, not at all pretentious, sustainable and is exactly what I am looking for on a day off away from my own kitchen. The “table sharing snacks” and the “bread basket” are a great way to start, the signatu
