RESTAURANT REVIEW: LESPINASSE * * * * (4 stars out of 4).
External link:
Andy M., Sophie W., and I went to Lespinasse last weekend, because this restaurant, one of the most highly regarded in New York, is about to close next week, so we thought we'd give it a try. The food was exquisite, and the service was excellent. But it really was over-priced, and not worth its high cost. My own meal, a multi-course vegetarian prix fixe, plus a glass of Pinot Noir, cost me $140 including tax and tip, making it, by far, the most I've ever paid for a single meal for just myself. It was good, but it wasn't really that good. Andy and I were thinking about it afterwards, and we couldn't really agree about how long you could survive on the food you could buy for $140. He thought a year, but I thought it would be tough to go much more than six months. Either way, rice would be the main item of your diet. There was an excellent rice dish included in the vegetarian prix fixe.
