@attran99 is clearly a bad influence.
agree with @NYCtoLA that strawberry pavlova was great.
strawberry pavlova, rose geranium, harry’s berries, crème fraîche sorbet
chocolate soufflé, valrhona chocolate, green chartreuse, génépy gelato
baba au rhum, chantilly, matusalem gran reserva 15 year rum
st. honoré, pecan mousseline, pâte feuilletée, caramel
A+++ post. Would click again!!
Thank you. 
Damn, G. It appears that Air Jordan did not like this place. Gotta go back and check it out, 'cuz my visit there was so impressive.
Who is that guy? Great reviewer (assuming it’s honest).
I guess he hates Poilaine style boule’s because of the closed crumb? Bizarre.
I know exactly what he’s describing, common issues with housemade levains. Disappointing only if you’re used to Acme or Tartine or the like.
Poilâne … makes great toast.
at the KevinEats comments!!
I can’t really tell. Did he like his dinner?
Ouch at the kevineats jab at the end. So unnecessary. Who is this guy?
Real estate broker, podcaster, Instagram restaurant critic, purveyor of $398 per person underground dinners. I never heard of him before either. Too bad he chose such a shit platform for his amusing reviews.
also respected by a lot of industry folks, e.g. mei lin, jon yao, liz johnson, mazen mustafa, david schlosser, aitor zabala, shunji… and hated by a few.
he knows what he’s talking about and tells it like it is.
Why is his podcast named after shoes?
also he only eats one meal a day

Lol not asking who Kevin is.
Warrior: I disliked the young, loud, vibrant vibe. I’m looking to have a calm dinner after a stressful day, not for “girl’s night out.” But all the food was very good—around the Republique level. We discussed whether it warrants a Michelin star, which reflects our high opinion, but decided no. I would go back any time. Exceeded expectations!
Peony: This restaurant is a pleasant surprise. High quality ingredients were used. The food was cooked just right.
