Per Se (*) – 10 year anniversary celebration

I proposed at Per Se many years ago so it felt right to go back for our 10 year anniversary!

Despite the recent backlash I thoroughly enjoyed my experience.

Superb service is their hallmark. Specific example – we go the caviar course supplement but requested to not have it replace the iconic oysters and pearls – they didn’t bat an eye and just gave us both! The laser engraved bottle of sparkling wine was a nice touch as the end of the meal although a stick of Orwellian butter would have also been welcomed but harder to take through customs.

The food was the right amount – didn’t feel gorged nor was I hungry after. Each course was delicious and highlighted the bounty of the purveyors. One change I would make would be less dessert in exchange for more amuse/appetizers at the beginning but this may just be a personal preference.

I wonder what the restaurant will be like in 10 years.
