"Considering it’s inside the Mag Mile’s Peninsula Hotel, it makes sense that Shanghai Terrace feels luxurious. Chopsticks rest on ornate golden holders shaped like boats, and each meal begins with warm "ST" monogrammed towels. But it’s the food that completes the experience. For $21, you can get four pieces of lobster, chicken, and truffle dumplings that scream "Just Got A Bonus," and there’s an excellent Peking duck. When it’s warm, make chun bing duck wraps on the secluded, namesake terrace. You’ll probably get charged $10 just for breathing the rarefied air, but it’s worth it for some of the best Chinese food in the city." - veda kilaru, john ringor
