"Located inside of the posh Peninsula Hotel on the Magnificent Mile, it’s not surprising that Shanghai Terrace is luxurious. Chopsticks rest on ornate, golden holders shaped like boats, and the excellent service begins with warm "ST" monogrammed towels. These touches are great, but it’s the elevated Chinese food that completes the experience—specifically the lobster, chicken, and truffle dumplings. And at $21 for four, these definitely fall under the category of “Just Got A Promotion” dumplings. The meat and seafood filling is rich and savory, with just enough umami from the truffle, all held securely together by a thick-yet-delicate wrapper. " - john ringor
