Bar Crenn
#32 random Thursday dinner. Fantastic presentation and meticulous presentation with great ingredients, mostly local. Nice lounge atmosphere. The epoisse flambé for dessert was interesting but honestly I’d rather just have straight epoisse. The canele though was actually better than the ones we had in Bordeaux. Heitz was promoting a flight of wines which included their…

Omakase

It was mildly amusing that all the white folks (Andrea and a couple next to us) got seated together (everyone else was Asian. I’m the banana buffer) with the newbie sushi chef (3 months at the restaurant compared to 21 years and…
