Sorry you did not have a good experience at Francis Mallman's 1884. I have dined there numerous times and never had anything but spectacular food and service. Maybe a bit unfair based on one dining experience to attribute their success to a publicist? After all The Times of London named it one of the world's top 10 not long ago. In comparison to the many 2 and 3 star Michelin restaurants in which I have dined in Europe, it certainly holds its own.

By the way, my PR firm is available for restaurant representation and have solid connections with the NY Times and The Times of London

Suerte
