⭐️⭐️⭐️ Michelin · My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Impeccable. Exquisite. Timeless.
We spent $5k for 2 people (receipt attached). Be prepared to spend money for this experience- and please don’t be like the other reviewers knocking off stars because of cost or value. That’s not what this is- that is what Olive Garden is for.
This is up there with Single Thread, Restaurant Gordon Ramsey, and Héllèn Dorroze as one of the finest restaurants in the world we have dined at.
We were lucky enough to score the Truffle & Caviar dinner ($1500/person), and we were not disappointed and left more than full. All the dishes were on point except for some oddball puff sesame rice dish with a gelatin goo… We particularly loved the white truffle soup with celery root and the white truffle risotto. Unlimited white truffle shavings on certain dishes was a treat!
When I joked they were about to shave the baby truffle into our food, they promptly left and returned with the big daddy- bigger than my fist (image attached). They don’t mess around and honestly the banter back and forth made the evening that much more enjoyable- what a great crew.
As for wine pairings- my favorite thing- Andrew the sommelier offered me three sizes- $500, $1k, or $1500. I opted for the later and I was not disappointed… he brought out some heavy hitters and even refilled me a couple times when I showed particular affinity towards one or the other.
At the end, they also took us back into the kitchen (where Chef Keller was!), as well as their $3M+ wine cellar full of some amazing offerings.
We’ll be debating for a while on where this falls within the top 3-star Michelin restaurants we’ve visited, but the fact remains- it’s superb and worth every penny.
