Taillevent had a crazy price for New Years, so we dined there the night before (probably still among the top ten most expensive)

Ended up doing New Years at Lasserre, dinner for two, cocktails, full bottle of a nice rose champagne, half bottle of a nice Latour, coffee, after dinner drinks, a little gratuity for the outstanding service, around $1,800 USD.

Have dined at Lasserre a couple of times, many think it touristy but for a classical French meal it's superb. Enjoyed it more than Taillevant, however, the server and maitre'd at Taillevent were engaging and a little more casual.

Cheers,
Jeff
