When we had dinner there on a Friday night, I was shocked how fast we were seated without a reservation. It looked pretty empty... <BR/><BR/>Its sad... I really don't like writing bad reviews, but the food really pissed me off.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281828415245524835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238846253797543690.post-43585008699792577632008-11-26T11:01:00.000+08:002008-11-26T11:01:00.000+08:00Miguel- Yes, Noel forwarded that e-mail to me.

More specifically, it is about how chef Alain Rayé learned the hard way that Michelin stars don't necessarily follow the chef. It also stated that he didn't have 2 Michelin stars, as almost every press release and local article written about him so far has reported.
