My best memories were of La Grenouille was when she welcomed us from pouring rain and soaked to the bone,so graciously. My son met me there for the most memorable and wonderful drink at the bar and delicious dinner.

so appreciate this...I can still smell the flowers from decadent and perfect lunches there, business or not, there was no where nicer

The waiters refilling champagne bottles with ginger ale and grenadine, and pouring it with complete solemnity. Nobody breaking character for a child.

That's the whole job, isn't it.

I never got to eat there. Reading this is the closest I'll get, which is a strange thing to be grateful for.
