. . . not sure how Le Bernardin manages to hold down its price point, but it’s fantastic (in all respects!).
La Vague d'Or's (Le Cheval Blanc - St Tropez) lunch and breakfast restaurant La Terrasse has a 3 course lunch menu at 145 euros. We may give that a go next May.
We didn't need to place a credit card number with our reservation directly with the restaurant, via email, for Thanksgiving week at the Chef's Counter. Maybe they have changed their policy?
We are also going over Thanksgiving so I guess I better start making rezzies, too.
We are there for two weeks and the second one is usually much quieter than Thanksgiving week. So normally it would be no biggie to us, we would hit the low key, local places week one and then look for the "reservations required" spots after the crowds leave. However this year we are bringing friends (newbies) and there are certain places we definitely want them to experience so based on the advice you received from WIMCO, I'm working on it now.
Bring newbies falls somewhere between pure delight and a second job:wink2:

I make more reservations now than I ever have before, but there is nowhere that I want to go to so badly that I make reservations months ahead of time. Most are made for the same or next day.
