I went to Maple & Ash last spring and it was excellent. It was also crowded and the most difficult place to get a reservation. My friends said it was impossible, but I got a table through Amex. The bar was also very popular.

We tend to like modern/creative food with a strong focus on presentation, and we want to get to know the food of the region well. We are not picky and will eat most anything.
How did I do? Am I missing something in these three cities, or in Paris?
Macon is the only Burgundy stop on your list, and it is deep south Burgundy. Practically Lyon. If you stop north of there in the Cote D'or you'll find much better dining and wine. Lameloise is not only the best in Burgundy, but I'd say the best in all of France. And if you want modern fusion, Charlemagne mixes a Japanese twist to Burgundy dining. Very nice presentation. Bernard Loiseau's name is still on a few excellent Burgundy restaurants too.
