I'm Shanghainese and my husband is Cantonese. I didn't really find the food authentic. It was quite average for me. He found it quite tasty though. For the two of us we ordered 3 items: 1 soup dumpling, 1 smoked pork bamboo soup, and 1 zhejiang ribs. It came to be about $40. I did enjoy the soup. But I don't think I've ever not enjoyed this particular dish as it is one of my favorites. I think the soup dumplings are average. I won't recommend the zhejiang ribs as the meat was undercooked and the sauce is too sweet and not as flavorful as it should be. As for the atmosphere, the place looks quite nice. However, I think they were trying to reserve the 4 ppl tables so we were shafted to a small table right next to the cashier and the tea serving station. It was 9 pm and the traffic was low. I think they should've given us better seats. Basically all the ladies were like standing around us talking. I won't be going back there any time soon.
