Shanghai Social Club to Open This Weekend?

Okay, Allstonians, your dreams of dining inside a restaurant with a giant Buddha's head are tantalizingly close to coming true. The team behind the upcoming Shanghai Social Club announced recently on Facebook that they will be open this weekend. It is unclear if this is the previously teased soft opening, or if this will be a grand opening event for the restaurant. Executive chef Bob Botchie, an alum of Myers + Chang and Erbaluce, has in the past promised a menu in which the "preparation is all going to be authentic Chinese ... but the way we put out the food is going to be American."
