I've been to M on the Bund in Nov of 2003 and the view was indeed awesome. But the food was not at all on par with the price. I spend 800 RMB for the dinner for two and there was no alcohol involved. (I gave a 100RMB tip. Should I have? I debated for a while but in the end I tipped. I'm still confused whether tips are expected at Western joints like M on the Bund.)

Great place to take a girl for a date but the food is nothing to write home about.

I'm going to Shanghai again at the end of this month and this time it may be for a long period of time. I'm looking forward to checking out 3 on the Bund. Last time I stayed at the Grand Hyatt (76th floor) and 88Xintindi.

This time I'd ideally like to stay at the JW Marriot Exec Service Apartments, but that can get really costly.

Comment on night life for the locals. It is indeed so sad that most of the native Shanghai/Chinese people are not being able to enjoy the benefits of these new nightlife attractions popping up left and right. It's like Shanghai is a serving ground for the Western foreigners. I don't like that.
