| - Been waiting to come to L'Atelier for years. I can gladly say that I was NOT disappointed. I was out of town in Vegas for work for the weekend, so decided since I was working the weekend I deserved some Joel Robuchon. The nice thing about L'Atelier is that you can pick a set menu, but also customize it. I had the Menu B, and chose the Gaspacho, Gnocci, Suckling Pig, and Duck. For dessert I chose "Le Cafe." All dishes were excellent, but my favorites were the Suckling Pig and the Duck. It was just enough food, and left me feeling satisfied, but no uncomfortable.
After going to Mix earlier in the week, I do think that Mix is a better deal and slightly better quality. Mix also provided 3 "gifts" with the meal, that were very welcome surprises. Who doesn't like a gift??? L'Atelier only had one gift at the beginning, but as I told my coworker, it might have been one of the best presents I have ever received!! The Amuse Buche (which is the gift), was a foie gras concoction with foam. It was delightful and a great way to start the meal.
I hope to return to L'Atelier with other coworkers later this week, but it depends how much work we will be doing. Overall, a great meal!!
