My husband and I were blown away with this entire experience. Another negative reviewer commented on how it is for people who are pathetic, or whatever. I disagree. Being in a town where we knew no one, it was nice to be able to socialize with some different people, some of who were locals and gave us some tips on things to do and avoid in Shanghai. This reviewer must have been a person who thought they were too good for the group and didn't fit in. Our entire group had a bunch of fun together. Now, onto the food. We had a 24 course menu and from that 24 course menu, there were ONLY 3 things I would not order again. THREE! That's not to say they weren't good, I am just not particularly fond of oysters and some specific ingredients. My husband loved it all. It was a night that I am very glad we took the time and money to make happy. We got to take a look in the kitchen and meet Chef Paul afterwards, which was real cool as well. If you have the chance, make sure you try to get in! We got in by chance. It was sold out for quite a while and 2 weeks before our trip, I just hopped online to check and 2 people cancelled. If your date is full, try checking back 1-2 weeks before the date you want to go because I notice that is when people cancel due to the deposit not being refundable the last week.

I had the opportunity to dine at UV on the 28 of march and the experience was bigger and better then expected to composition of food, perfect service, Drinks and entertainment was just amazing !

When you book for a restaurant you expect good food, but Ultraviolet is far more than that !
It is a unique experience putting your 5 senses into use where every detail surprises. I had never imagined such thing possible

The experience at Ultraviolet was amazing. The food was of course wonderful but all the evening itself, the food and the ambiance, was just fantastic. They have different options, I did option B (UVB) which is a more culinary experience (haute gastronomie) , UVA is more "recreative", but obviously food is still the best I ever had. I highly recommend it, at least once in your life. You will never forget this culinary and magic experience.

It will sound cliche, and perhaps trite, but this was without a doubt the best meal I have ever eaten. The food was beyond fantastic and amazing. I had the single best bite of food that's ever entered my mouth in a bread, truffle, butter dish. The food did not overwhelm the sensory experience, which was really cool. The staff was superb and extremely friendly. Meeting the chefs at the end was an very nice treat. Turns out the head chef on our night is from Columbus, OH so we had a connection with him being from Ohio.

There really is no way to describe the evening and do it justification. You simply must try it though. I could not recommend a restaurant more.
