I was just going to write the same thing. Went to a 3-star a couple of weeks ago that was nothing special, and a 1-star the week before that was really spectacular. Have a reservation at Osteria Francescana in a couple of weeks (3rd on the Pellegrino top 100) but it looks like it's been getting really flamed recently in online reviews. Definitely wondering how that's going to turn out.
Ate at Osteria Francescana yesterday with the full Monty Sensations menu with wine pairings. Not sure where those bad reviews came from because this was indeed one of the greatest meals I've ever had. Walked away after several hours longing for just one or two more courses. Worth the hype
