The location is stunning and on a clear night the views are great What spoils the place is the school canteen style decor, white melamine is not really my thing and the food which is just ok I had deep fried duck pancakes which seemed to be without duck as a starter. Nasi goreng which was very average and snickers... More

A friend who's been living in Shanghai invited us to have dinner in this place. The three of us went there last Saturday night. Reservation is a must. It is situated in a nice old European architectural building that strategically facing the Bund - the prestigious area in Shanghai. While waiting for our table, we went outside, and from the... More

I have dined here three times. The first time I was invited. I returned twice for the views. In winter, don't bother to come. The food is mediocre. The service is OK, but orders seem to be easily mixed up (although manager is very happy to help remedy any such situations). Try to sit on the outdoor decks in summer.

the bar was highly recommended by the lonely planet as the best view on the bund. We were highly disappointed, the setting was quite poor. It was too cold to seat outside so we stayed inside. The windows look dirty and the furniture used are not the standard you can expect from a high end bar.

Rude waiters and slow service, New Heights considered the worst service high end venue in Shanghai. You will probably go once for the view, but to return and get the bad service, you might just go to plenty of other venue on the bund..

Went to New Heights on recommendation of hotel concierge. We were skeptical because of some negative reviews in TripAdvisor but our overall experience was quite positive. After two weeks in China, we were looking for something not Chinese on the dining front and were happy with New Heights. Service was good, food was excellent, and the views of the Bund... More

Ordered a Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice) as I was looking for something not Western, but not quite Chinese. This was OK but nothing exciting. The cream of mushroom soup was well made, but put too much pepper and basically ruined the soup. This would be a great place for alfresco drinks on the balcony though.

They have a great value lunch menu and the service is much better as the place is quieter. The food is good and in interesting mix of Asian and European. Wine is fairly priced for Shanghai. Great location and views.
