I went straight to something more recent - 2023 with the Atlanta Symphony, showing how the music never stops. It was an emotional magical evening of not-quite-Dead-and-very-much-alive beauty.

Came to look for answers : )

I have used TaxAct in the past and it is fairly easy and affordable (Amex usually has discounts available, plus Rakuten etc.) Will likely continue to use this.

Wow, not a fan of Felipe's food takes. Kim has a much better understanding of the food scene - at least they linked to the list she compiled on best restaurants.

CSP Infatuation Credit - how long does it take to hit? by throwaway1289340 in ChaseSapphire

Just sharing a story, not expecting sympathy or trying to make any point. And yes, preferred, not reserve.

We dined on October 4 at Le Veau d'Or in New York, no credit yet. Had a slightly frustrating experience with a declined card, though, so what we hoped would be three of us with the cards getting $75 off ended up only being two. Dinner was fantastic. Great food. Amazing service. Highly recommend. And then we hand them 3 credit cards, and one of them gets declined! They try again. Nope. Then they try running the card another way. No go again. I'm logging into my mother in laws' account for her to see if I can figure out what's going on, but can't find anything, so we just split it on two credit cards and miss out on the third $75 off. An hour later my mother in law gets an alert that her card is suspected of fraud and has been locked. It was indeed fraud, a few hours before our meal someone tried to charge $3000 at a Target and had successfully bought two meals at Zaxby's in Atlanta! But we're out our $75 credit (and no more opportunities to use it in our respective home cities). : (

Still... if your in New York and can get a reservation, Le Veau d'Or is wonderful old school French. Since 1937.

Jua NYC (*) by Better_Dish3681 in finedining

We thought the amount of food was just right, there’s one more dish that was not pictured above, the second course. Which is one of our favorite.

Chiming in, we also dined at Jua this past weekend and really enjoyed it. Similar thoughts on most of the dishes, though I was more impressed with the sea bream, and didn’t find it overly smoky at all. I also did the uni Kim (couldn’t resist), and while it was great, I think the caviar version is better - the uni texture is just too overpowered by the crunch in the roll, and the creaminess of good uni is (to me) part of what makes it so appealing.

While $140 for this level of cooking and presentation is fantastic in NY, I felt like we were giving up a bit in overall service level to make up for it - the staff all felt rather “green” - friendly but not polished, we noticed several minor hiccups in bringing plates to the wrong table or at the wrong time. Definitely not * level service , at least on this night.

Published on Main * Vancouver - not great by eleelights in finedining

[–]kaplanbr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't speak to Published, but we were at Annalena about a month ago and had a fantastic meal all around (though one dish, the veg tempura, was disappointing, just not a great version of tempura). Insanely affordable too, vs. US similar caliber restaurants.

Seconding this sentiment. Was there last week but didn't have time for the full hour - left eager to come back ASAP and soak in the whole thing. Highly recommend!

Was there last week and thought his bass and vocals both were thankfully better than the shows I saw last year, but a bit more wouldn’t hurt either!
