My biggest regret about eating at this restaurant is that I don't have a second stomach. Every dish was so rich and flavorful, I wish I could have comfortably fit all of it into my one stomach. The bread cart selection was fantastic. I loved the basil and saffron focaccia and though I probably should have saved the room for the actual courses from the tasting menu, I finished my breads with a generous amount of butter. The caviar was great and the chestnut foie gras soup! Oh the soup was magical. So rich and smooth and flavorful, very en pointe. This is a restaurant where you can tell why it's expensive just by the ingredients used. The crispy black truffle tart used a good amount of truffle and it was actually my first time eating the actual mushroom instead of a derivative of it like truffle butter/sauce, etc. I hadn't seen such a large amount of the mushroom used in any other restaurant so I was kind of impressed. All of the courses were great, the restaurant décor quite lovely, and the servers very attentive but the atmosphere was a little stuffy and the portions were a little much, leaving me feeling overstuffed at the end. Overall though, it was a very nice dining experience and I would go again but order from the prix fixe menu instead of the dégustation.
Oh and if you have a sweet tooth, the dessert cart doesn't disappoint.
