This can be hit or miss, but when they're on, it's world class.
When I visit Alex I usually go for the tasting menu paired with the premium wine selections. Don't ask how much it costs. Just make sure you pay your mortgage or rent or car payment or whatever matters to you before you go here.
The array of colors and tastes and textures on the menu is superb. Here are some of examples:
Carpaccio of Red Prawns with Sea Urchin, Celery and Osetra Caviar
Saut of Foie Gras with Pomegranates, Aged Balsamico and Butternut Squash
Wild Turbot with Cauliflower Pure, Red Wine Sauce and Porcini Mushrooms
You just can't believe how complimentary these ingredients are. Who would have thought of fish with cauliflower and red wine and mushroom sauce? It sounds like an odd combination, but all of the dishes on the menu are like that. A symphony of taste, color and texture that is not to be believed until you try it.
The optional wine selection that accompanies the tasting menu is also amazing. The wine selection for the Foie Gras was Chateau d'Yquem. Need I say more?
The service is European style which means attentive and performed by a team, not just single waiter. It's much more in your face than we Americans are used to, but go with the flow and you'll enjoy it.
This is a special treat for a special occasion. I highly recommend it. Just make sure you pay the rent before you go.
