The colonial Shanghai decor is impressive, to say the least: there’s more expensive marble here than in Hadrian’s baths. The menu offers just about every luxury ingredient imaginable: goose liver, caviar, lobster and swallow’s nest. While the Cantonese cooking is good, it doesn’t live up to the sticker shock. That said, the skin on the $52 Peking duck, wheeled out on a mahogany trolley, crackles nicely; the duck is best post-carving, turned into a stir-fry with crisp-fried rice noodles and iceberg lettuce for wrapping. Whole grouper (don’t tell the SeaChoice folks) comes straight out of the aquarium, and it’s steamed and set over a subtle house-made soy broth. Dim sum standouts include the broiling-hot sesame balls stuffed with marzipan and pumpkin. Mains $20–$100.
