Fulgurances

We had the 6 course dinner because the 8 course just mean extra desserts. Food was good and interesting, service was good, but the ambiance wasn’t there. I hate to say this but it just didn’t hit the high note that we would come back. On top of this, we were all still hungry and raided the fridge for more food when we got home. Since, they change chefs often I guess the menu will be different all the time so you’ll get a different experience.

What an amazing restaurant! Current chef Shun Narise pulls out masterpieces that are not only beautiful to the eye, but also delicious to the tastes, with a well-welcomed Japanese influence. The wine list is amazing and the (super friendly) staff shares excellent advices. The restaurant is modern, cozy, and quiet, with smooth wooden tables that are a pleasure for the touch. We loved it.

I really love the concept of this restaurant where different chefs come and take over the kitchen. We had the pleasure of tasting Nazareno mayol’s menu and it was amazing. I love how he took humble ingredients and amplified its flavors to create well balance dishes using great techniques. I commend the staff of this restaurant as well, there were only two people hosting and they were efficient and kind. Great service overall! I would love to return soon.

Fantastic staff, great food. The service was great. Friendly yet professional waiters, who made us feel at home and safe that our food preferences would be catered to. Had the tasting menu with wine pairing. Chef Nazareno Mayol was the resident chef and had us explore his cooking. There was a simplicity to his dishes, where each ingredient was allowed to shine but yet made the combination even better (1+1=3). Especially the vegetables (peas, asparagus) were cooked to perfection. The wine paring was overall good, with some pairings almost perfect. This is definitely a place I will return to next time I’m in Paris. The value for money is great.

For an haute cuisine restaurant, the meal was fine but lackluster. Some of the dishes of this 7 course meal, were better than others. In my opinion, there was a lack of originality, presentation and exquisite taste normally in line with a meal like this. The wine was great. There was nothing objectionable nor necessarily memorable about this experience.

A truly wonderful dining experience. Very exciting menu, bright taste in all the dishes, detailed explanations given by the staff. Nicely paced servings (we spent 2.5 hours over the six-course dinner menu, plus the cheese). Staff is very welcoming, friendly, and attentive, with very good command of English, if necessary. Overall, very pleasant, even charming experience. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique, yet relaxing and pleasant dinner out. Looking forward to finding another excuse to go out there again :-)

Oh man... as a huge fan of their sister restaurant in NYC, I was excited to come to where it all started. I'll never go back. We ordered the 8 course tasting. To say that the portions were small was an understatement. And all vegetable, save for a bowl of roe. Tasty? Maybe two of the dishes. I kept saying to my boyfriend, "I bet the next one will be the main!". And it's not like we were craving meat - he was vegan for three years - we just wanted *some* sort of volume. Minus bread, I'm guessing it was 500 calories max. The chefs rotate, so for sure these two were a miss, but in any case, the kitchen and front of house were also woefully understaffed. 3 chefs total? 2 servers for something like 30 people? It took 20-25 minutes between courses. Our plates sat in front of us until they were ready to serve the next course. Folks who arrived after us were able to leave sooner. It's as if we were in a black hole. Perhaps we didn't order enough wine to matter? My boyfriend invented a family emergency to get us out a course early. 3 hours and 19 minutes later, I've never been more grateful (or hungry!) for a lie. To their credit, we were charged for six vs eight courses... I suspect one waiter knew but simply couldn't do anything about it.

Place is known to have different chefs throughout the year and with their own tasting menus. We had the pleasure of trying chef Shun Narise’s tasting menu and it was very delicious!
