My sweetie and I went to Tetsuya's a couple years back and
found some of the best food and certainly the best restaurant
experience of the young millennium. Beat the socks off Grange
(which had taken a dive, it appeared to me) and at least as
good as TFL, in the big-ticket department. Okay, the desserts
aren't the over-the-top fancy things, but who needs anything
like that after such a meal? I thanked the gastronomic deities
that I wasn't expected to plow through acres of sweetness
after the truffled spatchcock.

As far as Chez goes, I've always liked Chez Henri (Cambridge, US),
Auberge Chez Francois (Great Falls, US), Chez Maitre Paul
(Paris, FR), and Chez Bruce (Wandsworth, UK). There would
be others, but I can't think at the moment.
