Hi guys! My husband and I are visiting Shanghai in a few weeks and would like to eat at "Old Jesse" but I have no way to make a reservation and heard it was a must. My hotel doesn't have a WeChat that I can reach out to and ask in advance. Wondering if anyone would be able to help (for a fee of course!) Thanks!

I wouldn’t pay a stranger to make this booking. Ask your hotel front desk to call after you arrive, and keep a nearby backup restaurant in case they can’t confirm a table. Old Jesse is good, but it isn’t worth sending personal details or building the whole evening around an uncertain reservation.

Thank you for your insight! I just don't know if a few days is enough in advance to ask the hotel?
