"The main reason is the cost, the whole thing just feels expensive without even looking at the prices (though those aren’t on the menu, another indication of its pricey status)...."
"The extravagant special-occasion restaurant with maxed-out service, exquisite appointments and a menu with breathtaking prices is losing ground just about everywhere. But there has been a shift in tastes, and restaurateurs are struggling to catch up...."

"Macaron of Foie Gras Confit with Quince Gelée, Fig Chutney. After the initial shock, the foie gras actually goes well with sweet macaron...."
