End of July. I was not that impressed with AD.
Just had one the best meals ever, the chef and the kitchen were open. Sat on the counter and watched the cooking being done. Had super interesting wines. It was a on star, but the prices were the equivalent, if not more than a 3 star place. Around 800 pp plus wines. The food was so so good that am thinking of canceling Arpege and going there.
I promised my companion never to mention the name of the restaurant to anyone. The chef owner didn't mind. He said he has the clients that he wants.
