We ate dinner at Joel Robuchon last night with our good friends Jon and Annett Trail. We were celebrating Jon’s 40th birthday, and this was a good place to do so. We ate on the first floor at La Cuisine (vs. the ground floor’s Atelier) and had a very enjoyable meal. We did the tasting menu, which Carolynn and I always appreciate because we don’t need to make any decisions and get to taste a large variety of items. Highlights included the foie gras with parmesan foam, the langoustines, and the mullet. Drank an ’03 Colgin IX Estate as well as a white Burgundy recommended by the server (can’t remember the name–St. Francois? It was an ’06 Chablis, but, despite holding the bottle, I never really looked at the details). The meal was expensive to be sure, but extremely satisfying, especially when shared with good friends.
