After trying for years we finally got in. It was great, but it was long and expensive. A very traditional meal served with impeccable attention to detail. The wagu beef course was maybe the best beef I have ever tasted. The fresh ingredients made each dish spectacular. All of that said, it could possibly learn from some of the new chefs and become more innovative. We are glad we went but we would return if we were taken..

This was my 2nd time here and I was greatly disaapointed. For us the food dropped in quality but the price went up.Also we sat next to a large table of 10 that had special menu and wine pairing unavailable to regular cutomers. As a result eveyone in the room was feeling left out when this table had what it seemed like everyhing under the sun with great service. As everyone else had ok food and ok service. Hide these VIPs somewhere else please.

The food is still some of the best, but the service has gone from other worldly to just quite good. Our reservation was for 6, it was 7 before we had our first cheese puff or were offered our first glass of wine. For the first half hour we weren't even offered a glass of water. Once things got going, it was the usual fabulous experience, but an hour is a long time to wait at these prices.

The best we have ever experienced, incl Restaurants in Europe. We were there with our kids, 8 and 11 years old: no strange looks, waiters have been so nice to them. Only problem: getting a table

Better than any of the Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe (and elsewhere) to which I've been. I only wish they would raise the prices so that it would be easier to make a reservation. You have no choice: you must go.
