Rich: I guess so. Everyone has their own opinions since food is a very subjective subject.

Next time, I’ll research more into the expensive places I’m venturing since it’s not easy for me to let go of my hard-earned money for something that was “fine” instead of “OMG! Delicious bliss!”

Thanks for liking the entry! :)
At least I know being medicated doesn’t really make me produce a bad or weird post.

I think that we all sometimes hype-up/expect something exciting from a situation to the point that when it comes round to it, things fail to live up to expecations (especially when they come at a high price!) Either that or we’re getting increasingly picky, ha ha.

Still, a nice entry to read and look at as per usual!

Kathy: Oh I hope I’ll be better soon just because I’m going to do jumping photos in the LES at 3 PM! It ain’t fun doing that if my throat’s so sore that I can barely speak. -_-

Call me when you’re coming!

Tea: I thought I was droning on like there’s no tomorrow about Le Bernardin’s food. At least you liked it! :)

The chocolate corn dessert tasted fab! The financiers tasted very good as well, but I kind of wanted more cake than crust. It’s too tiny to really call it an excellent financier.

Dana: Well, from what my memory can recall about my first time there, my fish dish looked “pretty blah.” Unfortunately, they don’t serve lunch or dinner a la carte. If they did, I would just go for appetizers and dessert. I would presume Ariel would be a happy camper if that happened.

well, the entree dishes do look pretty blah. Never having been in a restaurant of that caliber before, I’m in no position to judge. For that kind of price however, I do expect some fireworks. I guess the two entrees didn’t look like they had a lot of creative effort put into it – which is presumably what one pays for at that kind of place.

THe appetizers looked intriguing though!

I have to say, your chocolate corn dessert presentation looks fabulous + the financiers must’ve been amazing! ;)
