Dinner w/wine will set you back significantly.
I have several restaurants planned for London - Gordon Ramsay (lunch), Dinner by Heston (lunch, maybe dinner), The Ledbury (dinner), Square (lunch).

Will be very interested to hear your feedback on RGR and The Square

Will be in Oct, but will have some detailed notes. I've heard great things about Square from friends that have visited.

We added Guy Savoy in Paris and La Pergola in Rome.

I see that Michelin is beginning DC restaurant inspections, potentially bringing starred-restaurants to join those of San Francisco, Chicago, and NYC.

I can think of at least 3 places I've eaten in DC which could get 1 star.

My issue with The Square had to do with utterly apathetic service. I tend to remember bad service long after I've forgotten what I ate.

La Pergola is great.

Komi? I go to DC periodically and have given up trying to get a reservation there.

They're definitely atop the list of candidates in my book. It's been years since we ate there, but it was fantastic then and seems to have only improved. I didn't realize they were that hard to get into these days.

Silverman's restaurants, too, stand a decent shot in my book. The food and service both are impeccable, and for Rose's Luxury, the price is tough to beat. Hate having to show up 2+ hours before opening just to hope to get a seat at the latter, though... I'd almost rather they take reservations with a hefty deposit.

Is Minibar by Jose Andres still up there, cuisine-wise?

Also, should mention that Pierre Gagnaire will be cooking at his Las Vegas restaurant Twist from June 21-25.

Great. We'll have caesar salad and a steak without french water without amuse bouche without pre desert. very poor place but relatively cheap. You get what you pay for.
Definitely not the same league than savoy and robuchon in vegas

The service at Joël Robuchon in Vegas wasn't good last time I was there. But if Guy Savoy is as good as Paris, it's probably the best in Vegas, imo.

How far in advance are you looking to plan? Usually you can book a few weeks out without issue.

I would rate GS as top strictly on a cuisine basis, I felt uncomfortable at JR and won't return. Twist suits my wants for the package of food, service and ambience the closest.

Birch & Barley in D.C. deserves a star IMO.

I'll probably head to Vegas in late July/early August. I want to try L'Atelier. Might hit up Guy Savoy too. Anyone been to either recently?

You really can' go wrong with either, although GS is a must have more elevated experience.

One of my favorite food bloggers has illustrated reviews of both:

Finally got a reservation at Restaurant Marianne in London. With only 14 covers that was a tough nut to crack.
