The place was crowded when we got there about 8:30 for an 8:30 reservation. We waited for about 15 minutes at the bar, drinking a pleasant Riesling and taking it the surroundings and the Scene. This was diverting, but we were soon shown to our table a nice banquette on the upper level, facing Madison. This brought the noise level down to acceptable decibels. <BR/>-------------<BR/><BR/>Mobin<BR/><A HREF="http://www.drivenwide.com" REL="nofollow">Promoter</A>dashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542167142165723166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-7646788141550810772008-09-02T11:50:00.000-05:002008-09-02T11:50:00.000-05:00No, I haven't been to French Laundry.

In fact, I would rank it among my 4 or 5 favorite meals. It is just that my meal at EMP was better.anonymouseaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983816483601480054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-76687227044798558132008-09-02T11:05:00.000-05:002008-09-02T11:05:00.000-05:00You haven't eaten at French Laundry?

I've never eaten at Per Se or EMP, but based on the pictures, French Laundry was not as creative as EMP either. It was still quite amazing nevertheless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-90039166100952681592008-08-28T18:09:00.000-05:002008-08-28T18:09:00.000-05:00Wow I want to jump on the next plane and go to NYC...Wow I want to jump on the next plane and go to NYC.
