...three months in advance and boasts a four-star rating from the Mobil Travel Guide. Over a Kir Royale aperitif, bemused diners can enjoy a seminar in progress. On view in the glassed-in kitchen, a dozen nervous young chefs in tall toques bump into one another as they peel, poach and broil their way through the evening.
