totally agree with Robino below. had exactly the same dining experience...sat at the center table...the appetizers were uneven. sweetbreads and zucchini ravioli were subtle and worked well. the lobster, foie gras and gnocchi were lackluster. the entrees were extremely boring and didn't make much sense. I ordered the lamb and came with two medallions and one bone poked in the center of one of the medallions. That was just strange. the peanutbutter tasting quiona didn't make any sense as a side dish. The other entrees were horrible. snapper was unedible and pork was over cooked. The duck was okay but nothing to write about. At $200+ a person, it was a huge disappointment...then again it would've been a disappointment at $100 a person. For those looking for an exciting restaurant experience I would recommend Dovetail.

Pros: interactive wine menu at the bar

Cons: food

Editor's Review

French juggernaut Alain Ducasse hopes the third time's the charm with his haute-French restaurant in the St. Regis hotel.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

The wine list is so large, it could use its own CliffsNotes. At $45, a bottle of versatile, medium-bodied Trignon Cotes de Rhone is one of the cheaper options on the list.
