But that isn’t specifically to TFL but nearly all high-end/Michelin star restaurants. They get many, many requests every day from everywhere any why should they spend significant resources and money on acknowledging or responding. Their reservation link goes to Tock and as with many other popular restaurants you have to be very much on time to get a reservation or other well known ways, AE concierge etc.
When we did it it took two phones on auto dial with continuous new dialing over and over for about twenty minutes…… with success on the third day of trying. Great meal, but more for the experience than the food.
You’ve got that right about “experience” as a notch in/on . . . . Keller’s staff’s cooking at Bouchon is/was tasty. In that neighborhood, we’d rather Bistro Jeanty, all said and done over the years.
One of the few restaurants with such bad service and attitude that we walked out before ordering anything - never has happened before for us. Bistro Jeanty truly sucks
