Funny story here, we had reservations for the restaurant, but since we arrived around four minutes  early, they didn't want to let us in (\"we were too early\"). We thought that was so stuffy--but we were expecting that since the menu de gestacion is around $300. So we walked outside the restaurant (which is actually inside the casino) and saw that there was L'atelier next door to the \"high end\" Robuchon (2 same restaurants next to each other). We went to see their menu because we wondered what the difference was--it seemed like the same stuff on the menu..So we asked, and in a very diplomatic manner we were told that what you really pay for is the \"ambiance\" (i.e. ATTITUDE--which we got when we walked into the first one), because the food was the same but for much less! Well--in that case let's get a seat now! So we ate at L'atelier instead for a couple hundered dollars less! \nEverything that is said by the reviewers that give this restaurant 5 stars is absolutely true..This is really la cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me as far as menus go--WOW. *Everything* we had was done so perfectly: perfect seasoning, perfectly cooked, perfectly presented--the FLAVORS--wow! NO WONDER it got a michelin rating! This is the type of restaurant that is *absolutely* worth the splurge. My husband also got the plate of tarts/pies for his birthday, and they were absolutely delicious. I can't remember what we had exactly, what stood out was the dessert we had; I can't remember what it was called, but it was like a pineapple custard, and I think they whipped some coconut cream until it was very light and airy (must have had heavy cream--it was SO decadent) topped with a caramel crisp... It doesn't sound extraordinary (I didn't think it did), but it blew us away..Also, we sat in the bar area WAY in the back, so the bartender (a very cordial gentleman) was helping us, and he gave great recommendations, including an apple WINE..Now we thought what you must be thinking--probably some expensive cider! To our pleasant surprise it really did taste like a delicious dessert wine, it didn't taste at all like apple juice/cider. It is a canadian wine and the apples freeze on the trees, leaving a very sweet residue that is extracted together with the bit of juice--honestly, you've never tasted anything like this! It's called \"Neige\" and we plan to buy a bottle! Anyway, this restaurant was amazing--hopefully we can come back for a special occasion!!
