I don’t think I’ve ever been this full after a tasting menu. I was ready to tap out before the pasta course.

What was the best dish of the night? How was the wine?
That’s pretty baller. He could have easily just approved his menu items, brought a Chef will him to do all the work then just smile and shake hands. Pretty special to have him there cooking.

mine was the Salmon dish from William Bradley - perfectly cooked - almost rare in a nice dashi broth and winter root veggies.
My wife (and I think a lot of people) was the Spiny lobster by Keller. I don’t think I’ve ever been served such a large piece of lobster at any western restaurant. It was probably half a spiny lobster tail perfectly cooked (some might think not cooked enough) on a bed of mashed potatoes and more potatoes in the sauce. I thought the sauce was a bit salty, but everything else in it was really good.
Also my runner up - the tomato butter with the brioce was prob the best mixed butter I’ve had.

Mine was Chef Keller’s sweet butter-poached Santa Barbara spiny lobster with new crop potatoes. Crazy tender ise ebi tail, and perfectly cooked potatoes. I feel that this dish represents the very definition of high execution California gastronomy, and (still) sets the bar at as high a culinary level as any other cuisine.

the level of cooking in Thomas Keller and William Bradley’s food was a big step up from the Republique dishes.

So is this one better than the mango passionfruit?
Thank you @PorkyBelly
Delicious. I think I like this more than the passion fruit. The cream inside is so rich in vanilla
My wife said she prefers the tartness of the passion fruit
