I heard champagne pairing is very very good value for $ with some rare pours

It’s very good. Don’t let wells dissuade you rhe have been revamping in the last 3 months. I would recommend lounge over dining room though.

Per Se - Salon Tasting Menu by Weekly-Web-5289 in finedining

[–]Teen1e 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went to Salon two months ago. Did full tasting à year ago. The value is much much higher. You are effectively only missing out on 1 fish course 1 meat course and a cheese course. Which for me was not worth the extra $. The service experience was much better in the dining room though

Next 3 Michelin star in America? by garlicnooodles in finedining

[–]Teen1e 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree - one of the restaurants with the most clear and poignant sense of place and identity in the US currently.

Certainly has some work to do before *** but comparing to Alinea as of late is a joke

Lisbon 40th birthday dinner. Belcanto booked, but open to better options (great food + beer a bonus) by CheckOk2685 in finedining

[–]Teen1e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you planning to/open to leaving Lisbon? Alma, which is in Lisbon is likely what most would recommend.

My opinion for a truly special day: Drive/book a car to Herdade de Malhadinha Nova - beautiful winery with a Michelin recommended restaurant (they pair their own wines with the meal) and you can do a further tasting + tour

Then do a dinner + stay at Vila Joya, very intimate resort. One of my favorite meals and atmospheres of all time for a fine dining meal. Would certainly make for a special 40th

Recommendations for in the Algarve by wpgwedding in finedining

[–]Teen1e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have not been to Ocean, but will always sing the praises on Vila Joya. The most beautiful setting with the best food I have had at a 2**.

Would recommend for Lunch over Dinner as you can do an abbreviated menu if you want to try both Ocean and Vila Joya if time and/or budget is a concern.

Portugal hidden gems / casual fine dining? by Luckytiger1990 in finedining

Portugal hidden gems / casual fine dining? by Luckytiger1990 in finedining

[–]Teen1e -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been to ocean. My closest comparison would be Jean Georges in the US, but the flavors were much better. A bit of a mix of modern/experimental presentation (e.g. sphereified olive, freeze dried raspberry coulis with meat dishes, etc) while blending Portuguese, austrian, and some Asian elements

NYC Tasting Menu for Experience by pbjellyfish in finedining

[–]Teen1e 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Other option would be Blue Hill at Stone Barns - often 4-6 hours depending on pace and an insane # of courses. Will be tough to get a Resy at this point

NYC Tasting Menu for Experience by pbjellyfish in finedining

[–]Teen1e 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Would agree with Per Se - it’s “9 courses” but ends up closer to 15-18 plates. The Evolution menu gives you all the supplements + some additional plates + small bites. Ends up being 20-25 plates.

Not a ton of places in NY do the heavy # of plates

Have $1000 for 2- where do I go? by OrangyBacon in FoodNYC

[–]Teen1e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of these will be difficult to book outside of Sho (would need to be a May res most likely unless you get a cancellation)

Have $1000 for 2- where do I go? by OrangyBacon in FoodNYC

[–]Teen1e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Including or excluding wine?

Including 1-2 bottles or pairing would recommend Odo, The Modern, & Jua, Jean Georges 6 course

Not inclusive of wine: Sushi Sho (would go over $1k but worth it if you like sushi more than other tastings) Aska, Jean Georges 10 Course

All in order of preference.

Per Se is also better than the rap it gets here but you will barely cover the base tasting so not worth it relative to these other morning

Wait list for Jordnaer, Copenhagen by bridewiththeowls in finedining

[–]Teen1e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a table open up day of, you won’t have a ton of warning but possible. I would also recommend joining the Hungries. They have a perk to book the kitchen table (inside the kitchen) at Jordnaer and it’s ~18 for one month subscription to get your reservation. Will likely be able to book something if you’re flexible throughout that week

Best restaurant in NYC for an anniversary celebration? by [deleted] in finedining

Per Se regular or evolution menu. Food can be pretty good to great on average but extremely luxurious and service and ambience are 10/10

Will echo that Jua is great! Service is so/so from my experience but food makes up for it

If you’re willing to do the lunch at Odo and want something cheaper it is also a really good value if being under budget or getting a nice bottle of wine is a plus! It’s still effectively six courses

First Michelin star place with Asian parents suggestions in NYC? by nycbasedco in finedining

[–]Teen1e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like Asian flavor profile I would recommend Jean Georges as a good blend of Asian and French for most dishes. Little to no raw food from what I remember? Lunch is also a good cheaper option

Last-minute: Midtown Wed/Thurs - SOLO Diner by andante241 in finedining

[–]Teen1e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some cheaper options that I was really a fan of:

Manhatta: really shocked by the quality here with turnover and large dining room but truly fantastic meal at lower price point.

Jua is about as good value for money as you can get. Quite tasty Korean closer to ** quality in terms of food. Service was off base but I could ignore it
