My friend & I had debated sometime whether to try Pierre or Caprice. Finally, we decided to come to Pierre for birthday celebration. The restaurant is much smaller than I expected and it's very quiet. We got a table in an area which only hosted 4 tables, happy that we got a lot of space and it's quite sound proof so we didn't really create any trouble to other diners. We are a bit upset that we are not allowed to bring our own wine and the markup on their wine list is substantial. Reluctant

We are a bit upset that we are not allowed to bring our own wine and the markup on their wine list is substantial. Reluctantly, we ordered a bottle of Chateauneuf Du Pape 2009 Delas which worths only $300-$400/bot yet we paid $1,200...what a premium !
We went for the tasting menu that nite and we had the following:Hare Terrain beetroot declination
This was quite interesting since I am not a beetroot fan, the sweet taste of beetroot wasn't very intense and it just enhance the freshness of Hare
Thick seabass steak St-Germaine Gillardeau oyster/grilled fennel/ginger/beaufort cheese/tofu/caper/chestnut puree/diced pumpkin/onion/ginger bread/tarmarillo
Corolla of scallops seared on the grill, fine Manzanilla mousse, Chinese artichoke, sea urchin bisque
Quince tartlet with roasted hazelnut and Macvin wine
This was nice but a bit heavy after the seabass course, loved the combintation of roasted hazelnut & Macvin wine
Roasted breast of Grouse thickened in peaty sauce, roots vegetable & grapes
Dessert: Aged Comte cheese glazed with white chocolate and Pierre Gagnaire's grand dessert
In general, it's not an impressive meal though I have to complement their presentation and creativity. In short, I'd rather re-visit Amber instead of Pierre...period.
