    One of my go to places. Perfect to start a night out with a drink, or have dinner there first too. The risotto, fish, and profiterole are delicious. Also don't miss the ¥98/dozen oysters on Sun.+Mon.

    Love everything here: food, oyster, dessert, cocktails, lighting, music, atmosphere. Good for first date, late dinner after work, chilling with girlfriend, or indulging dozens of oysters.

    Very nice place. The food is really nice, especially sirloin steak(298rmb). Red sauce is too spicy, I prefer the green one. Almost all clerks can speak English, convenient for western people.

    Great place for a vibrant night out. Fantastic cocktails and amazing food selection. A very good package. Can be very busy at times.

    Amazing concept however very difficult to accept that they only have 2 red wines and 2 white wines on the wine menu when they are focusing on oysters and steaks... Very pricey too

    Really high level of food - everything is super tasty. Great cocktails as well - even though some of them are a bit too experimental with flavors.

    This place was created by Grey Goose and their drink menu was made to highlight their vodka. Excellent well-balanced cocktails from true mixologists.

    Food is a bit overrated but great vibes and drinks! Fresh oysters. The chocolate lava cake is worth ordering too.

    Quite a fun place with good music and good food, and most importantly good champagne (Billecart-Salmon).

    Sunday and Monday is oyster night. 98 rmb for a dozen oysters. Well worth it

    Food is mostly good, a few dishes have a twist too many like the tomato salad with some kind of horseradish sorbet. Cocktails are decent but not outstanding. The decor is the real winner here.

    Delicious food and neat decor. Unfortunately the service was not attentive and the staff seemed overwhelmed and lacked patience to address our concerns. 4.5/5 for food but 3/5 for service at best.

    Ok ok - everything is great and even I wanted to find weaknesses I didn't find any. Well, the cocktail list was a bit vodka heavy, that's the biggest weakness.....
