Oliver, I remember sampling it once. The fact that I didn't do it again suggests that it wasn't really my favorite among the appetizers (perhaps especially with a delicate wine); otherwise, I remember what it looked like -- shrimp, etc. on a stick/skewer -- but little else.
The smoked white fish salad and caviar worked well.

Tristan, Yes, the cheese course was delightful...and just the right scale.
It paired nicely with the Richebourg.

Do your dining companions ever tell you to stop taking photos and just eat?

No, but they sometimes oversee my duty as scribe as they: (i) remind me frequently; and (ii) laugh when I sometimes only remember to do it after the dish is half eaten.

I’m not a photographer but you might want to diffuse the flash or something. These are looking a little flat. Better than a low light image of poutine or loaded nachos though.
