However, the tiny servings plated during the French Room’s seven-course tasting menu leaves one’s palate yearning for more subdued only by the French wine pairings. Servings are vividly designated by origin and by the chef’s recommendation for picture-worthy presentations. Diners sit in gilded Louis XVI chairs, resting on brilliant marble floors. Fine china and beautiful linens cover the tables that reside under spectacular Italian chandeliers.
