    Food and service never disappoints. It's The Peninsula after all! The special 3 course Duck service was incredible! Duck was tasty and crispy! I was so full after the meal!

    While this place certainly is not inexpensive, it was worth it for a special occasion. The Peking Duck was as advertised, the best I have had. Tender and flavorful. Pancakes were excellent too. Dim Sum was also excellent. The steal of the show may have been the hot and sour soup, a delicate blend of flavors. Mixed drinks were tasty. Service was on point.

    We enjoyed date night at Shanghai Terrace last night, and the experience was great. Our waiter was excellent and thoroughly explained everything to us. We had a selection of dim sum and traditional Peking duck. Everything was tasty, the live music set just the right mood, and the environment was beautiful. It had been years since I’ve been, but I won’t let so much time pass before visiting again.
