Upstairs at Bouley

months later.

i seem to go to upstairs only for special occasions: a celebration, a friend in town, that kind of thing.

this time just plain sucked. my old standby - the calamari salad - i think i found 2 charry bits of calamari hidden in the watery greens and sloppy dressing. my bowl of bigoli was sloppy. the pasta was cooked well, but the chopped chunks of sausage, the melting chunks of parmesan, and even the chanterelle mushrooms didnt wow me.

jenny's gnocchi was overcooked. and the bolognese sauce was dry.

the burger looked great, and kept from falling to pieces by a wooden skewer.
the same 8" wooden skewer was found in jenny'y lychee martini.

how do great restaurants become such terrible restaurants, anyhow?
