The service was excellent. I think they did put us in a smaller room, almost an alcove, with other…read moreEnglish speakers - our little ghetto. Maybe the larger dining room is reserved for French speakers, I don't know. Speak good French when you make your reservation and see what happens!
The cuisine was wonderful. There were higher highs versus medium highs, but nothing failed. The fish was superb. The cheese course is excellent - do not miss it. The plates are sort of small, but our lunch was quite plentiful, especially with the amuse bouches, dessert, rolls, and so forth. We left perfectly full. It's all about taste here; it's a place to focus the senses on each bite, especially the first. This is masterwork cuisine.
I'm giving it four stars because for the price...some of the dishes were not absolutely, totally awesome. But some definitely were. They were also a little quick with the wine selection process. I was handed the voluminous list and then verbally presented with by-the-glass options. Had to make a very quick decision. It might have been nice to have a moment to think about it, which I suppose I could have asked for. In any case, the by-the-glass wines we had were perfectly fine; the Loire white was average, but the red Burgundy was good.
The staff treated us very well and we had a great time. If we can amass enough money, we will be back someday I hope. It's definitely in the 2-3 Michelin Star class, no question.
