  • What an embarrassing debacle at L'Atelier... I'll try to keep this short: 1) Had 8:30pm reservation, flight delayed, called in and changed to 9:30pm 2) Got seated, waiter overhead us discussing tasting menu, immediately said it's "too late" 3) Surprised b/c they were still taking reservations until 10pm (on OpenTable even!) and no one said anything about tasting being unavailable when we called in earlier 4) Asked waiter if he could double-check since the whole point was to do tasting menu; waiter returned, told us no and that's Chef's "final answer" 5) Waiter then said we had "three minutes" to order - even off the a la carte menu - and yes, exact words, not 'soon' or even 'five minutes', but "three minutes" 6) That gave us impression that we were not welcome, so we walked out 7) To her credit, hostess who seated us asked us what was wrong, and we told her what happened 8) Hostess went inside, came back out and said manager said we can do tasting menu 9) We were still really uncomfortable with the whole charade, so left anyway So ultimately, I suppose we could have done the tasting menu? But looking back at what happened, my only conclusion is that they didn't really want to serve us. It took us physically leaving the restaurant just to be allowed to order the tasting menu, and on top of that, the manager knew we were unhappy and didn't even bother coming out to say anything to us. It's a real shame as I've been to the big Robuchon in MGM a few times and L'Atelier in Covent Garden and thought they were pretty good - but I can safely say after this experience that I no longer feel welcome at any Robuchon restaurant.
