Vespertine - Menü

We have dined at some of the best restaurants in the world--Noma, Geranium, Central, La Tour d 'Argent, Joel Robuchon, French Laundry, Fat Duck, Le Meurice Alain Ducasse, Borago, Oteque, Mellisse, Guy Savoy, Alinea, Ceto, Picasso, and more--so naturally, we had high expectations for this restaurant.

Overall, the Vespertine x The French Laundry dinner set is a gastronomic triumph, a rare and delectable treat for th...
