This type of restaurant is hard for me to review like a regular restaurant so I am going to review Robouchon, Guy Savoy and e' by jose andres as special places to go for the experience not necessarily the food. My palate is just not that sophisticated for these places to be a place where I have some food where I just want to pick up the plate and lick it clean. The presentation of the food is gorgeous and the bread carts and candy carts are amazing by themselves.
I came here on Sept 10, 2013 with my daughter for her birthday. Here is the menu we had that day.(in English)
Cherry Gazpacho with pistachios and ricotta ice cream
Salad of tomato with basil infused olive oil, tomato gelee topped with mozzarella
Red turnip and radish with yellowtail carpaccio, delicate cream of corn, caviar on a fennel cream
Pan seared sea scallop in green curry and fresh coriander
Truffled Langoustine ravioli , Sea-Urchin prepared in "chaud-froid" with anise juices spiny lobster served atop spinach leaves in a black Malabar pepper sauce
Light lettuce cream on top of delicate sweet onion custard
Foie gras prepared in a casserole served in a daikon boullion
Pan-fried sea bass with five spices served with verjus sauce
Grilled beef rib-eye, black olive and bone marrow condiment
Broccolini and soybean sprouts cooked as a risotto
Fresh strawberries and strawberry mousse with Rose Champagne cream and soursop sorbet
Black fruits on a delicate chocolate fondant and dolce
They gave us a copy of the menu otherwise I wouldn't have remembered much about the food, it is more the experience of the meal that I enjoy. I liked every thing but I didn't love anything to the point of raving about it. Like I said maybe my palate is just too plebian for these type restaurants but I still like to go there and the bread is always amazing!
Service is always perfect and the décor here was so wonderful. The seating is so comfortable. You feel very pampered here.
