  • Instead of going into endless detail (we had the 15 course tasting menu with base wine pairings, $750 each without tax or tip), I am just going to say that the food was as expected; nothing less, nothing more. It was artfully executed, and nicely balanced. Not sure you really needed teeth to enjoy each soft portion of goodness, all the same temp (lukewarm) and same texture (soft). Piece after piece of tasty bites, teeny tiny little bites. Not to say the dinner wasn't delightful. But it takes a lot of delight to warrant $750+ each. Joel Robuchon is one of the top 25 most costly restaurants in the country, we just expected more. The restaurants we enjoyed in Paris were so much more reasonable, the food much more exciting. The wine pairings offered with the 15 course tasting were fine, but not noteworthy. The Champagne was lovely, the Sauvignon wonderful. From the Chardonnay forward, we found the selections rather disappointing. If you are staying in MLife properties, be sure to expense it to your room for point value if you track that sort of thing. We did not know this was an option until we saw it printed on our receipt, but it was too late; they would not switch the charge to our room. That was ok with us, we just didn't realize how many hotels were affiliated with MLife. The limo drivers both ways (complementary pick up and drop off service from your hotel) were personable and fun; however, our servers were quite the opposite; very stuffy, they do not crack a smile, ours was very cold. I am not a fan of servers hovering nearby, staring as you eat, ready to whisk plates away as soon as you lay down your fork, it felt intrusive. This was a splurge on our part, we both adore French cuisine. When asked, "still or sparking water?", expect that still means bottled at $10 each. You must specifically ask for tap water which is free of course, but they did not offer this until we had finished two bottles. Have to mention the bacon bread, amazing, don't miss it. They sent us home with a strange tasting citrus pound cake, didn't care for it. Another yelper said to try the tea, I had the Assam tea, it was quite unremarkable. Not our favorite dining experience, we would not return; too many other fine dining restaurants to choose from. I'm glad we tried it, scratching it off our bucket list.
