    First off, I will start off by saying for those of us with NO allergies, we had a lovely dinner. The food was SO DELICIOUS. THE MAIN ISSUE WE HAD WAS WITH 1 IN OUR PARTY WHO DID HAVE A SEVERE FOOD ALLERGY: We came in and were super excited about our meal. We had 1 person who is severely allergic to gluten/ is Celiac, which we mentioned in our reservation. We called ahead to discuss the options on the phone, we messaged the restaurant about it on OpenTable ahead of time, and spoke to our server about it when we sat down, who then spoke to the House Manager about it. We were assured that "it would be treated like a peanut allergy, as though it could kill someone". After ordering from the Gluten-Free menu, my friend had to take 6 Benadryl in the middle of the night because her eyes were swollen shut and now is so sick that she cannot keep anything down. I am not saying the food was bad in any way (for those of us that do not have any restrictions), but the fact that we were assured 4x that there would be no issues almost sent her to the hospital and that really upset our entire party. I have worked in many restaurants and we did our due diligence to make sure she would be accommodated and the restaurant completely failed her, especially on a $600 dinner.

    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!!!!
