We have had the pleasure of dining here twice, and both experiences were absolutely fantastic. The service was impeccable, the wine selection was excellent, the cocktails were superb, and the food? Ooh La La! After our meal, we had the opportunity to meet and chat with Chef Jean Joho, and we passed along greetings from Paul Haeberlin in Illhaeusern, France. The view from up high is breathtaking, particularly looking west, although the tables by the windows seem to be in high demand and booked well in advance. Otherwise, I’ll let these photos speak for themselves.

The staff was friendly and attentive, and they were incredibly down-to-earth when we asked about the dent in one of our spoons. We celebrated our anniversary here and truly enjoyed the meal, appreciating the variety of dishes without overwhelming portion sizes. The traditional touches, such as amuse bouche and sorbet before dessert, added to the charm. I adore this style of classic French cuisine and hope it continues to thrive.

To access the elevators to the 38th floor, you must check in with security in the lobby; from there, you'll transfer to another elevator that takes you to Everest on the 40th floor. The west-facing view on a sunny day is lovely. However, the pacing of the dishes for the sampler menu was a bit slow compared to the tasting menu. For instance, the table behind us, which ordered the multi-course tasting menu, received their dessert at the same time as we did, despite our choosing the three-course sampler menu.

My mother and I got an excellent friendly service from all the staff. We also appreciated and were honored to have the visit of the Chef Jean Joho.
