From Zagat.com

Food = 27 FYI, if you're eating at a restaurant with a 27 rating, you're eating well.
Decor = 18
Service = 25
Cost = $49

FL is $300, and the wine list is the highest I've ever seen. Markups of 3 - 4 times.
I don't disagree with anything you're saying - Chapeau (and now Clementine) is a great restaurant, no argument from me!

But there is no comparison with tFL - the OP said Zagat had these two establishments as essentially tied, which is entirely inaccurate.
