I
am
really
apologetic
about
leaving
this
review,
but
it
is
an
honest
one.
I
dined
here
in
November
and
opted
for
their
10
year
anniversary
menu
degustation.
In
terms
of
positives,
the
service
from
beginning
to
end
was
extraordinary
and
fitting
of
their
Michelin
star.
I
was
very
impressed
by
the
attitude
of
the
host
and
servers
throughout
my
experience.
The
restaurant
was
beautifully
decorated
as
well,
with
a
gorgeous
spiral
staircase
and
view
of
the
kitchen.
Unfortunately,
this
was
where
the
negatives
began.
I
sincerely
did
not
enjoy
the
experience.
I
walked
in
with
reasonable
expectations
but
nearly
every
dish
was
overly
salted
and
not
reflective
of
the
quality
I
expected.
I
notified
my
server
and
they
seemed
quite
apologetic;
they
had
noted
that
they
informed
the
kitchen
and
my
subsequent
courses
would
reflect
my
feedback.
However,
the
remainder
of
my
courses
were
similarly
oversalted.
It
was
such
a
shame,
because
many
courses
such
as
the
scrambled
eggs
with
lobster
had
such
potential.
The
overuse
of
foie
gras
in
multiple
courses
resulted
in
the
overall
experience
to
be
overbearing--
the
flavours
were
so
heavy
and
overdone.
For
almost
all
dishes,
there
was
such
lack
of
depth
in
flavour
because
every
course
seemed
to
be
one-dimensional
and
so
heavily
focused
on
heavy,
savory
elements
with
nothing
to
cut
through
them.
This
was
an
ongoing
theme
I
felt
throughout
the
entire
gastronomic
experience.
The
restaurant
also
deviated
from
the
anniversary
menu
that
I
selected,
for
reasons
unbeknownst
to
me.
The
pigeon
and
foie
gras
in
a
cereal
crust
was
almost
completely
inedible
to
me,
to
the
point
where
I
was
nauseous.
Out
of
everything
I
ate
that
night,
I
will
comment
that
the
bread
service
was
absolutely
out
of
this
world
and
spectacular.
The
butter
was
some
of
the
best
I've
ever
had,
in
Paris
or
anywhere
else.
The
dessert
was
also
light
and
fresh,
beautifully
presented,
and
was
a
welcome
change
from
the
previous
courses.
Strangely
enough,
I
also
felt
multiple
times
throughout
the
night
that
one
or
two
chefs
in
the
kitchen
kept
staring
up
at
me
for
an
extended
period
of
time
for
unknown
reasons,
as
I
was
seated
in
full
view
of
the
kitchen.
This
occurred
after
I
notified
the
server
that
the
dishes
were
overly
salted.
I
am
not
sure
if
they
thought
I
was
a
reviewer
but
these
were
just
my
genuine
feelings
about
their
menu
degustation.
As
a
disclaimer,
all
thoughts
about
the
experience
consider
the
price
of
the
experience
to
determine
if
it
was
"worth
it"
or
not.
Personally,
I
would
skip
and
look
elsewhere.
Every
corner
of
Paris
is
filled
with
wonderful
gastronomic
offerings.
