Great review and pictures. Friends of mine have had the 16 course menu there and raved about it so I have always wanted to try it, probably will at some point...

The bread cart, butter from France plus the mignardises is just visually stunning. I had that butter in France and it's to die for!

Glad you and Noleman had a lively evening conversing, too bad about the service being too slow. Did you have wine with your meal?
