L'AMBROISIE

Nous avons passé une belle soirée dans ce restaurant. L’accueil chaleureux à la porte, le service attentionné et amable à table. On nous a servi le menu d’hiver (bcp de truffe :) On a surtout aimé les langoustines à la sauce curry, la fricassée de homard et le dos de sole (personnellement mon préféré car un plat au goût délicat et super mariage avec céleri-rave.. :) Peut être juste l’amuse-bouche nous paraissait… un peu trop habituel (saumon fumé) et.. trop salé. En revanche, les desserts étaient parfaits, délicats, pas trop sucrés… Si on ne veut pas prendre un dessert il y aura suffisamment de mignardises avec le café :)
Il y a une belle carte de vins bien sûr, quoique cher mais en choisissant bien il y aura quelque chose pour tous les goûts, y compris avec un prix abordable.
C’était sympa de voir toutes les tables dans notre salle occupées (couples, familles entières etc) donc bonne ambiance.
Un grand merci à toute l’équipe du restaurant et à bientôt pour le prochain menu au printemps!

Cordialement,
Karin et Gea

I left with some very mixed emotions after dining here. For a three Michelin star restaurant with a lot of history, I was ultimately disappointed.

Food: The food was beautiful but often lacked crucial elements. You could tell how much care and technique were poured into some very amazing dishes. The star of my tasting menu was the langoustine. The dish had an incredible sauce with a hint of curry which complimented the protein in an adventurous way. I was a big fan of the added texture from the crispy wafer but was not impressed by the bland spinach base. The sea bass was a stunner with its presentation, a truly luxurious dish. It played on some very classic techniques that had been upscaled to perfection. I would return to this restaurant for this dish alone if not for the chicken. I had such high hopes for the chicken but the breast was bland and dry. Even worse, the chicken drumstick was raw. Giving the benefit of the doubt, I tasted the piece to confirm my suspicions. Cold and rubbery, a complete failure.

Service: the service way good overall, but there were too many hiccups. The staff accommodated us nicely as we arrived around 5-10 minutes early. Everyone was very friendly. However, it was very weird as the wait staff just stood there and stared at us. During the service there were many awkward disturbances, continuous bumping of our chairs, knocking our glasses, dropping a metal pan in a very quiet room. One too many to go unnoticed.

For the special birthday event, the staff prepared a very lovely dessert which was excellent.

Ambiance: It was creepy. There was no background music at all so we had to whisper for the majority of our dinner. I could hear the other patrons conversations like they were sitting right next to me. As mentioned previously, the wait staff staring at me while I ate was very unnerving.

Overall: I left with the feeling of unfulfilled desire for excellence. I had such high hopes going in but left wanting much more. I would return to L'Ambroise for certain aspects but they need to clean up their act if they want to impress.

I really expected a lot better dish and taste for a 3 star restaurant. Started with a smoke salmon? The lobster with curry is way over powering. The wait between the dish got me falling sleeping. $350 for lunch and the dish was below expectations. Do not recommend

様々な星付きレストランに行きましたが今まで食べた中で最高のフランス料理。
古典的なソースを使った(液体窒素やソルベを使っていない)、まさに私が求めていたものです。
美味しいの一言では表現できないぐらい美味しいです。
アルコールが飲めないのでワインの注文はなし。二人で前菜、メイン、デザートを注文して12万円ほど。
ワインを飲む方は1人15万～20万円ほどかと思います。
本日のおすすめでメニューには載っていない牡蠣のキャビア乗せがありました。
ちなみに決まったメニューのコースというのはないので、単品で注文する形となります。
サービスの面でも完璧と言っていいぐらいみなさん細やかな気遣いと対応で感動しました。
近いうちに絶対また食べに行きます！！
