    Beautiful location and a very polished atmosphere. The staff was excellent, warm, attentive, and truly one of the highlights of the experience. Ambience was great and matched the setting well. That said, while we understand the hype and the difficulty in getting a reservation, the food itself didn’t live up to expectations. We’ve traveled extensively and spent a lot of time dining in France, so our bar may be higher than average, but the value compared to the price just wasn’t there. The dishes felt fairly standard and underwhelming, and the desserts in particular were disappointing. Additionally, the dining room was extremely hot, and the seating felt very tight, our elbows were literally touching the diners next to us, and this seemed to be the case throughout the entire venue. Overall, a lovely place to sit and enjoy the space and service, but the food didn’t justify the reputation. For us, it’s definitely a one and done.

    My second visit, but not for lack of trying! A difficult reservation to get, but so worth it. Took out-of-town friends who enjoy a good meal and they declared it perhaps the best restaurant ever. Don’t sleep on the chicken (be sure to ask your friendly server about the provenance).

    Amazing service and beautiful ambiance but for the price point, I shouldn’t leave hungry. Speaking as someone who has experience in enjoying fine dining.
