I am normally not a big “presentation” person, but that dish looks so beautifully done that I might be willing to forgive it, even if it tasted like cardboard.

Glad to hear that the food overall is very good.

I’m tired of my shitty plating, I need to hire some pros.

Or just be like me, and “be one” w/ shitty plating. :smiley:

On a totally random note, I remember there was one contestant on MasterChef Canada (I think) awhile back, and I was totally amazed at how an amateur was able to learn to plate so beautifully…

Warrior: We hadn’t been here before because it always shows as fully booked on Resy, but I finally realized you have to make reservations on their website. For me, this is by far the best Italian restaurant in LA. Outstanding execution and ingredients, good creativity, Instagrammable. Every dish receives high marks from me. Service was great. Didn’t look at the wine list. 7.7 Warrior Points.

Not pictured below is the insalata di mare, which was exquisite.

Sold out already. Only $500, what a steal.

When @PorkyBelly posted the link an hour ago, there were 9 tickets left. And apparently the presale for AMEX cardholders was on 2/24, so tickets have been sitting for days. Point being, Porky sold those last 9 tix, they should offer him commission. Second point, there are a lot of uber rich people who browse this site (but we all already knew that).

Only $500 to eat the first food cooked in the restaurant by the chef it’s named after. Who could resist?

This stood out to me too. Didn’t he do a big PR swing through LA when it opened a few years ago? But somehow didn’t touch a pan in the kitchen of a restaurant with his name on it?

Sergio better be working the line this time around.

Does he even with the line at Francescana?

Considering Francescana wasn’t even the best meal we had the day we went, despite Resy’s recs, thinking this is still a “Pass”

Those aren’t Resy’s recommendations, they’re the chef’s.

Ahh, I misread … though my point still remains. Unless you want to treat :wink:
