Journeyman in Atwater Village was a no tipping restaurant. Price on menu is what you pay.
That all looks fantastic.
Except for serving Ăpoisses in a bowl with jam. Only in America.
Trying to decide what the perfect meal for 1 would be? Tuna, Pate & Cheese? Wine - how is there by the glass list anything interesting
Hah! I like that the Epossises looks like an ice cream Sunday. Tacky but brilliant
Iâm in! This looks so much like my kind of food.
Wow, Iâm impressed even the lemonade looks fun and interesting
Bottles?
My mouth is watering.
Does it make me a hypocrite because I donât want to eat veal but Iâll eat a baby chicken?.. Iâll answer that. Yes!
I think you can eat and drink whatever you damn well please
$50 corkage FYI.
When I order a piece of Ăpoisses, I want to eat every last gram of it with no jam.
In American restaurants I always tell them to put any condiments on the side. Iâm just disappointed that will be necessary at Pasjoli since in many ways theyâre so French. I guess maybe cold baguette without butter would be a special order as well.
All French liqours and bier.
I ordered a Manhattan with bourbon but, of course, il nây a pas de bourbon.
They made a nice oneâŚwith French Whisky!
Ouch at the wine markups! I get that these prices include tip but stillâŚgeez.
ie. Jean Collet Chablis is a $25 bottle and theyâre charging $22/glass. Ooof.
Next time you are down our way Epicurus has Epoisses for $7 for 250 grams. Picked up a beautiful one there two weeks ago, https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/92700be0-5fa5-4e1a-9249-a64e798bb4c8/downloads/In%20Stock%20Product%20List%20-%209.20.19.pdf?ver=1569034504251
More pics from last Thursday night with some fellow FTCâers:
Onion tart, omelette, and turbot were incredible. @aaqjr Iâd go with one or two of those for a solo meal. Save any omelette and tart leftovers for breakfast.
Table-side duck prep. Like @J_L said, itâs a 3/10 on the FOMO scale:
I am definitely a huge onion fan (is that weird, lol) so if itâs good Iâm down.
It was very good
Fairley Elliot - whose writing I generally enjoy, though it can veer into some annoying places - has just written perhaps the smarmiest, most sycophantic piece I have ever read about a restaurant:
Sounds like he just slipped out of bed with Chef Beran (or someone on the service staff, or possibly a publicist, or ALL THREE), wiped his chin, and started typing this awful, fawning, fluff.
âHe is forever calm. And then, with a quick shimmy,â
ââŚa hint of exclusivity and wonderâ
ââŚenjoyed individually and in the moment as staff step tirelessly through the roomâ
ââŚ[diners] need only to enjoy the moment, nestled happily between a focused service staff attuned to their needs, and a busy sidewalk curious to taste a bit of the magic themselvesâ
Itâs like an MDMA review.
Help: I need a Zofran, STAT!
The wine pours, the carts change places, and Beran may duck off to check in on Dialogue, the tasting menu restaurant he still oversees in Santa Monica as well.
