The dark wooden bar is a great place to retreat from the hassle and crowds of Xintiandi. The tasting menu had some really great dishes, but unfortunately also several below average (or maybe expectations for this price range?). Hit and miss on the food - spot on for a relaxed drink!

In a place like Xintiandi, where restauarants come and go, this one is in the same place serving great food and abience and has been for at least seven years... Classic open kitchen, spotlessly clean, great cozy bar and atmosphere..Expense account type place ie not cheap, but worth it

one of most decent deco restaurant at xintiandi with my taste, used to be top choice to go as date or client meals. I have to say the food went down after they change few chefs, and it is over priced

Went there for lunch today and again had a very excellent dining experience. This is one of our favorite restaurants in Shanghai and has been for the past three years. The food was well cooked and presented, coupled with superb service. Being international women's day today, the ladies also received a special free dessert and a free margarita spritzer. Do... More

The food was not bad at all. The lamb was delicious, the Angus steak was just so-so. The service, however, was TERRIBLE. The wait to get just our drinks was at least 15 minutes. The servers hardly came to check up on us. Then when we received our bill, we noticed that they had added extra bottles of water to... More

Restaurants in XTD come and go - fast. T8 has to be considered something of an institute then..great service, ambience and consistently good western food. Service is excellent by Shanghai standard. The manager Walter is very personable and will be ready to make you a good wine recommendation. The menu is simple but always good. The 2 things which I... More
