Frommer's Review
Located in Fuxing Gongyuan, the oh-so-chic Park 97, one of Shanghai's trendiest restaurant complexes since 1997, now comprises four outlets. Baci Italian Cuisine is justifiably known for its fresh pasta dishes and very thin-crusted pizzas, but its most popular offering is its weekend brunch, with sets ranging from ¥100 to ¥180 ($14-$26/£7-£13), including cocktail, pastries, and limitless tea/coffee. A children's menu is also available for brunch. Lux serves drinks during the day and turns into a luxe bar lounge at night. California Club is a very hip and loud disco that opens onto Baci; while Upstairs at 97 is a lounge bar with live music. This is a great place to relax during the day, and an optimal place to see and be seen: You'll get attention not only from the waitstaff but also from other patrons discreetly checking each other out, and from curious Shanghainese ambling through the park.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
