I am very sorry to say that Mexique closed last month :( Sad, I'd been wanting to try it. But I do love Topolobampo so I'd recommend checking that out if you haven't! That is very sad news :( Thanks for the recommendation, will check it out :) |
Going to be at Oriole on July 6, then Alinea on the 7th. Will report back! :)

I'd love any reports on Oriole or Smyth if anyone here goes or has gone! We loved Smyth when we were there in February. The only issue was that we mistakenly ordered the 12 course tasting menu and it was just way too much food for us. It was wonderful but we should have gotten the like 8 course. |

Oriole is on my list. Maybe August or September for me to go. I forgot to add that I had brunch recently at Blue Duck Tavern in DC (one star). Very good as usual - nice service with really good comfort food. The maitre’d was pretty indifferent though, he looked at me a couple times while I was waiting for someone to greet me at the reception area and finally relented after a few minutes of me standing there. |
I am incredibly excited about our trip to San Sebastian this weekend.
We have reservations for:
We're also going to do a private Pintxo tour for lunch one of the 3 days! |

Love to hear your impressions of Akellare. Don't forget to leave room for pintxos in the old town you lucky person you :) |
Nice itinerary there! Akelare for lunch is a great choice, as it won't be very full, you will easily get a table by the windows and soak up the amazing views!

What time is your res? I had booked the first lunch seating (1pm I think), and we had our pick of a table in an empty dining room. But if you're going a bit later it wouldn't hurt to reach out in advance I think.

One of the reasons why I booked it for lunch is exactly to enjoy the views. Do you think I should request a table by the windows in advance?

We're also going to do a private Pintxo tour for lunch one of the 3 days! The meal at Arzak blew us away. Mirador has a fabulous view of the city. All three restaurants still had guisante lágrima, the so-called "green caviar", on the menu (probably due to the unseasonable cool weather). |
Arzak is still one of the best meals I ever had (back when father was still in the kitchen and his daugher FoH. You'll have a great time.

Just returned from Ishikawa, 3* in Tokyo. Modern kaiseki.
This was a very competent meal with some standouts such as the grilled seaperch, the abalone with innards (I am NOT a fan of abalone normally) and uni that rivalled that of Kimura - the best I ever had. Although this is not going to be one of my most vivid memories, it certainly was a truly excellent meal. |
