Yep, you absolutely need a reservation for this place. I guess the food is average quality, but the view is top notch. Direct view across the Huangpu towards the Bund. There must've been 500 people eating there, including several laowai.

I managed to pass out for much of the day, and woke up feeling a little bit better. I'm optimistic that I'll wake up tomorrow fully healed, so I can go to the restaurant and complain for my money back. I took a nice picture of my vomit containing a lot of salmon roe which should do the trick....
