why was the best restaurant left off the list?

Why didn't you offer an opinion on one of the other five?

Okay, Valentino it is, so I'll be crossing that and Robuchon off my list that week. Anyplace Forbes names it's #1 restaurant I'm willing to give a shot.

Just remember, you're eathing at the "cheap" Robuchon. You still have to step up to the big one right next door. (Same kitchen though.) Min $600 for two at The Mansion.

Mon,

I'm hoping to hit the Mansion for the full course sometime in the next year or so.

Valentino has the highest rating on Gayot, but it's only a 16/20. That's very good, but it's not the stratosphere rating that some Vegas restaurants hit.

According to Zagat (ratings are out of 30)

Delmonico (26)
Bouchon (24)
Valentino (24)
AquaKnox (24)
Postrio (23)
Lutece (23)
Zeffrino (22)
Pinot Brasserie (20)

I still owe you the trip report from the "mini". First anniversary of that is coming up, I think I'll write my reflections then. I'll have to read a lot of Bourdain between then and now to get in my foodie-writer mode. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm eating at the 'big' one. Just typing out 'The Mansion' sounded stupid, but I guess it's necessary. FWIW, my confirm says "Joel Robuchon". Did they screw up?

This is the 'other' one:

edit: I'll never understand why some people feel the need to condescendingly tell others they're eating at the 'mini' Robuchon, when they have no idea.

ND,

I bet Mon was OK taking a little rib at you because he knows what a high-flying finance player you are who spends with reckless abandon. I sincerely doubt he would say anything like that to a nice midwestern couple who had saved up for a special meal.

Also, are you still planning on sticking with the "mini" menu at the Mansion or going for the real meal?
