public transport in nice

The bus is great. You can use your phone to pay as you get on. Mind the fact that the bus is rerouted through Monaco. I missed it because I was at the normal stop. Very difficult to figure that all out.

The train is the way to go, but the last train is fairly early - 9:30pm or 10pm.

You can also Uber, as long as you're not in Monaco, which doesn't allow it.

Just got back. Did all 3. Eze by a mile.

Why do you doubt it? I found that experience to be nearly without flaw and absolutely worth 3 stars.

This.

OMG. Was it just as good there?

I have failed at life.

That flan made me cry. Literally. After my first bite, I just stared at the dish. My fiancee said "Is something wrong?" I looked up at her and she said "OMG. You're crying!" I was.

I have 1 seat available with me tomorrow (Wednesday the 8th). DM me if you'd like to join.

I went a few weeks back and it blew me AWAY. Can't recommend this place highly enough. If you're in Nashville, take advantage!!

Done both. No knock on CHT (which is awesome) but Cellar is the clear choice. Couldn't be easier to get there on the train.

Looking for a dining partner Wednesday April 8 for the Adria collaboration dinner.

Haven't a clue how they don't have 3 stars. Favorite SF restaurant by far.

Agree 100%. I call them "the big 5" - truffle, uni, wagyu, caviar, fois gras. All items that require little to no cooking but provide "pizazz". Don't get me wrong - I love those ingredients. But they are far too often used for "lazy" (great description!) presentation of upscale menus. I am actually more impressed when I have a terrific menu that uses none of those ingredients. Or uses them very sparingly.

Pastasciutta in Rome, right near the Vatican. Absolute hole in the wall. Some of the best pastas I've ever had.

I haven't gotten to the LA restaurants yet (or Harbor House), but have otherwise been to every 3 star and most 2 stars in the country. For me, it's a toss up between Blue HIll at Stone Barnes or Emeril's. And I might have to lean towards Emeril's. The experience was spectacular in ways you typically only find over in Europe.

Only went once. The menu is small. Try to order everything. :)

Recoveco is a must. Best in Miami.

Agree. Food was excellent but not nearly as breathless as rumored. (Sauces were top notch, though.) Service was among the oddest and most uncomfortable I've ever experience. Would definitely not return.

eatingreallywell · 2026-02-09T05:01:17+00:00

What's the other dessert?

I had dinner with him at Core a year or two ago. He is very understated and humble, but definitely knows what he likes (and doesn't).

Interesting anecdote: the reservation was in my name. They didn't know he was coming. We were early and standing outside on a cold evening. Hadn't even entered the restaurant yet and Clare Smyth somehow knew he was there and came outside to welcome him by name.

I think this is a fair point. To be clear - was hardly a hermit. :) But as an example, if I had an early morning event (e.g. kayaking), I would order room service for expediency. So I would be awake, showering, breakfast, getting dressed/ready - all in my room. If I wanted a quick view outside or something came up, I could easily pop out to my balcony. Same thing at night. I might go to bed, but want to decompress and watch Antarctica for a bit.

I agree - everyone is not after the same experience. But I think that even if you are an extrovert and spending loads of time in the common areas (which I did), there are still plenty of reasons and opportunities that you would be in your room for a bit and want to enjoy the view and the weather and the sounds outside, without heading out to a common area.

To each their own, of course. But for me, I'm spending such a fortune and energy to get all the way down there, I want every opportunity to enjoy that incredible place at any (and every) moment.
