No words would ever be able to accurately describe the wonderful experience I had at Joel Robuchon last night... simply AMAZING. My boyfie, whom I owe everything to now, SURPRISED me with dinner here for being a kickass girlfriend. Am I lucky or nah?
Beyond lucky. :))))
We both ordered the full tasting menu along with the wine pairing. There are 3 tiers for the wine pairing @ $295, $595, and the premium. The sommelier goes over the difference in each price point without being pushy at all. Everything we ate/drank was just absolutely amazing. I can honestly say it's the best meal I've ever had in my life along with the best wine I've ever had in my life. This place was also accommodating to my pescatarian needs, which wasn't that many substitutions since their menu is majority seafood.
Favorites of the night:
x Quinoa and red pepper amuse bouche
x Oscetra caviar served atop of king crab and a crustacean Gelée
x Langoustine ravioli
x Lobster wrapped in spinach
x Some kind of corn soup/puree (my favorite of the night)
x ALL THE BREAD from their bread cart with their ridiculously good butter. I usually hate filling up on bread anywhere, but the bread here is on another level...
Everything was just so over the top, but to perfection. Full tasting menu is the way to go. I highly recommend the wine pairing as well.
Service was great and they were are so very friendly. The only thing I was EH about the entire night was when the boyfie spilled some of my wine and they didn't think/offer to refill it... a fluke perhaps? Regardless, I won't hold that minor hiccup against them. The food was everything. How will I ever be the same again. I can't stop thinking about my meal here :(
