Nah, it was for work. Wasn’t picking up that tab for sure.

Reporting back after just finishing dinner at The Inn at Little Washington. Not only is the meal incredible, this may be the most underrated part of the country. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

It's beautiful out there. I only live about an hour away but we never seem to get out that way anymore.

Per Se was the best meal I've ever had. But I'd go to French Laundry if you're doing a big trip, can't go wrong in Napa.

Some of this decision-making comes down to: city or country? What else are you looking to do/see on this trip? What style of food do you prefer? Alinea is not the same sort of experience as 11 Madison Park.
I must confess, I find it tedious to sit through 10 or 12 tasting courses.

I've been to a number of places in this thread and as some have said, not my cup of tea.
One of my absolute favorite restaurant experiences was at The Catbird Seat in Nashville. Small place where the seats are directly on top of the kitchen which is in the middle. You speak to the chefs throughout the night and get somewhere between 8-15 courses. Did some really creative stuff (like PB&J salad and a crunchy beef tartar) along with some more traditional servings.
If you aren't limiting yourself to Michelin 3 star places I would go there. Nashville is way less stuffy than the big cities, and I would put that meal/experience up against any I've had at the so called great US restaurants.

We went on a Pinot Noir vacation a few years ago south of Portland and thinking I'm from Nola and have eaten the best ever, I was blown away. I've been all over, not excited about my meals in Miami, NYC, the Hamptons, etc...but my Oregon trip was the best foodie vaca I've ever had. The Painted Lady was ridiculous.

New York City is my favorite place to explore and try new restaurants and hang out with friends but San Francisco and Napa had some of the best culinary offerings I've ever experienced.
Such a tough call.. but I have to say I would pick Le Bernardin and New York City. It will be expensive of course, but for everything else New York offers, it will be worth it.

I have been to one of them on the current U.S. list and that is Eleven Madison Park. It was fantastic....... I went to Guy Savoy in Paris last week. This technically doesn't count but they have a branch at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. The two best meals I have ever had were at Guy Savoy in Paris. I have not been to the one in Vegas.

I’m not looking to hijack the thread, but are any of the 3 Michelin star rated restaurants NOT a prix fixe tasting menu ?
Posted on 4/30/19 at 7:53 am to 632627
I'd be surprised if there was, at least in the US.

That's a great question.
I can't think of one that has regular a la carte dining in its dining room. However, per se, Le Bernardin, and Im sure a few others will have a la carte in their lounges.
In Europe a 3 Star place will often have a prix fixe menu as well as the option to order a la carte. At least in my experience.
Time for soapbox: if you are traveling, eating at a 3 Star for lunch is almost always going to be a better idea than trying to go for dinner. Just my .02.

Thanks for the info, I looked it up, and there’s a great article dedicated to this topic. Looks like doing a la carte at the bar for many of these restaurants isn’t any more expensive than a nice steakhouse.
