...want to see Keller's brand tarnished by sharing space with a franchise. He had a $10 million to $12 million investment to protect--fancy New York restaurants don't come cheap. Keller helped line up an all-star team: Masa Takayama from the $300-a-sitting Ginza Sushi-Ko in Los Angeles, Gray Kunz (Lespinasse in New York) and Charlie Trotter (Charlie Trotter's in Chicago).

For appetizers, escargots are prepared in the traditional way—drenched in garlic butter and accompanied with bread for dipping in the addictive sauce. “Sushi grade” tuna tartare is better than any tuna I have yet found in Boston’s Japanese restaurants. Each mouthful is silky smooth, rich but subtle. The ubiquitous Caesar Salad makes an appearance (of course), but the man who ordered it—a self-proclaimed Caesar maven—declared Mistral’s among...
