Guillaume has always been a restaurant I’ve wanted to visit. Finally had the opportunity for a very very important 30th birthday. $500+ later we still felt a hungry and some what disappointed.

The dishes were served on beautiful huge plates to find portions tiny (smaller than usual degustations). Basically, it was about 2-3 mouth fulls and you’re done! Usually I’m full after the 3rd course that I’m trying to flog my food off to others, but in this case, there wasn’t a standout jaw dropping and orgasmic dish. Don’t get me wrong, the food is nice!

Dessert didn’t reach that nice ending as it always should when closing off a great night. We left quite disappointed (no doubt $500 poorer) and unsatisfied that we almost went to Baskin Robbins.

Oysters with minty jelly (I think)
Seared yellow fin tuna with mustard seeds and soy vinaigrette
