To celebrate this very special milestone, we decided we'd have a nice slow dinner - not just once, but on as many occasions as possible throughout the year!
From the beautiful decor to the quiet elegant service, the ambience in Joel Robuchon provides a great start to a romantic night out.
We felt the full degustation menu might be too heavy and decided on the $250 4-course menu. After we'd selected the courses, the bread trolley was rolled out. On the trolley was an amazing selection of bread with basil, saffron, rosemary, etc, etc.
Certain items carry a supplement eg. the lobster I ordered for appetizer. And I didn't realize it as I was given the guest menu without prices and my dashing date had the host menu with the prices.
Should they not presume the man will always pick up the tab? It annoys me when service establishments are too presumptuous. Or perhaps they thought a couple so engrossed with each other could not possibly be married and juggling joint finances? I'd forgive them then.
It was a very nice dinner overall I must say. The service was excellent, and the wait staff were happy to accede to our requests, like changing the dessert course to the cheese trolley.
A great place for special occasions, or to simply to appreciate the companionship of your other half.
