    Young chef Austin Hu showcases standout dishes—such as duck breast with apple and chorizo-flecked vinaigrette and candied pork belly with kimchi jus—in a loftlike restaurant in the Xuhui district.

    Brunch is served at 11:00, when they open on weekends, so yummy. Chef Austin Hu is amazing and truly loves what he does and it shows through the amazing dishes that is offered here.

    Amazing brunch and dinner is great too. Good service and Austin Hu is a really talented chef. A really decent guy as well and it shows in the staff.

    The kimchi pork sandwich is probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had the pleasure of devouring! So good! I highly recommend coming here just for the sandwich. It changed my life!

    Brunch is a must but book in advance. Fresh donuts come out warm with trio of dipping sauces. Order a few dishes to share & get a taste of everything because it's all so good!

    Be prepared for a fat-filled, unforgiving brunch, albeit an intense guilty pleasure. Try the French-style scrambled eggs with the rum-laced Madison lemonade. Finish off with an outstanding croissant. Read more

    Onion soup's thicker texture, less sweetness, and choice of low melting temp and less gooey cheese creates a unique experience versus onion soups at other restaurants. It's a good thing.

    They have just one hamburger in their menu but just for that it's worth a visit :) saffron aioli wins

    Ideal sunday bruch spot with focus on egg-made cuisine and some burgers and chips. Many foreigners here at weekend.

    Sunday dinners are casual, comfort food dinners. Every week a different theme. We went for a "steak night" and it was great. 300 RMB, all you can eat :)

    Chef Austin rocks! The food is scrumptious, the environment is comforting and drinks are spot on.

    Great food, especially in the less formal dining room, grab a few sharing plates and enjoy.

    The shrimps with fried rice starter was surprisingly nice. Fish main courses are a better value for money

    Brunch on sunday is both affordable and delicious, the former esp compared to neighboring brunch spots. Mmm and peanut butter and baileys ice cream for dessert!

    Food is good, portions are small but this way you can try more. One big drawback (for me) is they do not free refill the coffee, which is unusual for an *american* place. Service is so-so

    Bone marrow crostini is worth a try. Not a common offering at other restaurants. Tasty too!

    Not as good as it used to be. Slabs of pig trotters in the poached eggs, duck eggs an unexpected bright orange with a bit too much breading/grease, refried potato pancakes refried a little too long.

    BLT! They roast the tomato. It is the road less taken. It makes all the difference.
