Shanghai Terrace is absolutely wonderful. It is eloquent… the service is professional yet friendly… They accommodate your needs..(like the lovely red shawls they gave us because it was a little drafty…or the fresh napkin that appeared instantly when my initial napkin had slipped off my lap… I didn’t even know) Max… our lead server/waiter is beyond description….He provided excellent menu recommendations and made sure that the timing of our meal service supported our theater commitment.. The duck and everything we ate was EXCELLENT…. I rarely write reviews… and I could go on but I had to write this one…ENJOY!!!!
