Reviews
Yesterday’s dining experience was truly memorable; not just a meal, but a full sensory journey. From the moment I entered, the atmosphere felt elegant and immersive, with traditional Chinese aesthetics blended beautifully with modern luxury. The performance added such a unique touch to the evening. Watching the live cultural show while enjoying the meal made the experience feel like stepping into a different era. it was theatrical, calming, and beautifully presented. The food itself was thoughtfully plated and carried a refined balance of flavours. Each dish felt carefully prepared, with attention given not only to taste but also to presentation. The setting, tea service, lighting, and overall ambience created a feeling of exclusivity and celebration. What stood out most was how the restaurant transformed dinner into an experience; combining cuisine, history, art, and hospitality. A wonderful place for anyone looking for something beyond a typical fine dining meal.
It is a very pleasant experience! Our first time in Shanghai also. This restaurant is pretty new but service is really on another level. The performance is great and food is awesome. You definitely have to try it.
Awesome experience. Costume, makeup, luncheon and stage performance were all great, not to mention the super friendly and accommodating staff. Wishing the team all the best!
