I know I'll need to adjust my expectations though.<br /><br />Daniel - I know.. hard to beat JR, but I was hoping TFL would have been more impressive.<br /><br />Diana - seriously! the bread cart at JR. I expected more of the bread at TFL cuz its from Bouchon.<br /><br />weezer - thanks! I thought I was gonna be bashed by readers for not LOVING TFL. It is what it is, unfortunately.<br /><br />Bagnatic - I'm glad I checked it off the list.. but don't feel the need to go back. I def plan to go back to JR though.. that says a lot.<br /><br />Anna - Thanks! I know.. cheese saved the day hahah. I should give cheese a chance.<br /><br />Darin - Yeah I think wine pairing might be fairly new. Wine selection was splendid, but ouch.. same price as the tasting menu. worth it, if you have the $$. I think if the service had been as exceptional as they (and others) tout it to be, I might have had a better experience.<br /><br />Gastronomer - Oh.. you're one of the very few I've heard from that wasn't overly impressed with TFL. You'll have to try JR if you get the chance. Maybe don't go in with super high expectations! I learnt my lesson...stuffycheakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07732755245066285272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093348919253719049.post-2130574371255980752010-11-01T11:52:13.586-07:002010-11-01T11:52:13.586-07:00Hats off to you and your dining companions for goi...Hats off to you and your dining companions for going all out! Wine pairings, foie gras, and white truffles! Damn!<br /><br />I wasn't crazy about The French Laundry experience after my dinner as well. It happens...

I don't remember ever seeing that before. <br /><br />It's unfortunate that you found it a little disappointing.<br /><br />I LOVE the presentation of the white truffles.Darinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238703231355338744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093348919253719049.post-2016545452337333822010-10-29T09:26:04.030-07:002010-10-29T09:26:04.030-07:00Wow, you went all it here so its great to hear you...Wow, you went all it here so its great to hear your fresh opinion - after all the money you spent, you are more than entitled to say whatever you want!

As I reading through this, I could tell you were coming to a less than enthusiastic conclusion, especially with the dessert let-down. Your dinner at Joel Robuchon definitely looked better than this one at TFL.<br /><br />BTW you can get the Blue Apron ale at Bar Bouchon in the Montage...goes really well with the truffle mac and cheese :)<br /><br />I love how to planned a trip around this.

So $600 didn't get you a marriage proposal? Does that at least buy a happy ending? Sufficed to say, this, along with Alinea, will probably forever escape me. And I'm ok with that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
