Report incorrect information
The seven cause menu turned out to be about 20 individual dishes, all very intricate and complicated.
And that was really the biggest challenge: dishes that were barely more than bite size consisting of 10 and more ingredients, sometimes with competing flavors. Of all the dishes we tasted, there was literally only one where we thought " wow, this is great, I want more of this".
The rest just kind of floated along, it was clearly not bad but nothing was a culinary highlight.
We ordered the individual wine with each course for 95 Euros, only to find out that we were charged for the champagne during the amuse bouche courses (3 of them) extra. One feels slightly cheated, not that the additional 40 euros per person really matter at a total price of $750 for two people for dinner, but it didn't feel right.
Service was okay, but not more than that. It had none of the perfect orchestration one would find at a Bocuse or Robuchon where the service and the incredible attention to detail matches the perfection on the plate.
Most disappointing however, was the arrogance of the chef. Racine is it tiny restaurant with six seats and less than 10 employees. The Chef came to the table twice to pour some sauce, never once bothered to say hello or to utter a word and did not have the gratitude to come to the table at the end.
The team at Racine appears to have fallen in love with the fact that they have two Michelin stars and they are playing with food rather than celebrating flavors. Most importantly, they have forgotten that they are in the hospitality business and none of the dinner felt this very special touch, the spirit of warmth and generosity of arriving at someoned house and feeling just wonderful about the whole thing.
