The Overview

Table No. 1 occupies pride of place within the ultra-hip design hotel The Waterhouse at South Bund, but its real credentials lie in the kitchen: British executive chef Jason Atherton has worked under such locavore-inspired luminaries as Ferran Adrià, Marco Pierre White and, most recently, Gordon Ramsay at Maze and Maze Grill in London. Atherton’s background informs his modern European creations—local white crab with avocado and sweetcorn sorbet; poached regional prawns with giant elephant clams from the Pacific—expertly turned out by head chef Scott Melvin and served in the restaurant’s cool, industrial-styled dining space courtesy of local design firm Neri & Hu (think high ceilings, gray brick and long communal tables in unvarnished wood).
