You guys are so fantastic, so generous with knowledge and suggestions! I know daughter will choose one of your suggestions, they are all terrific.

thanks again, and i still have a few weeks though they'll have to make reservations soon. i think i'll ring the chef and have something done specially too. its so wonderful to feel i can do something special for these guys, and with your help, i am. hard when your kids grow up, i'm telling you, and you're far far away. though i pass through once every other month or so but still............

ZEN PALATE

Interesting food and pretty tasty but no alcoholic beverages (i.e. wine) if that matters to you.

P.S. Welcome to eGullet!

Zen Palate doesn't come close -- in food or atmosphere -- to the majority of restaurants mentioned on this thread. My opinion, of course.

Technically, I'd argue that the reverse is true, if you look at it from the point of view of a unique approach to food. No other restaurant mentioned on the thread does what Zen Palate does, in terms of philosophy, preparation, and ingredients.

From strictly a taste standpoint, I've been generally happy with what I've been served there, but I agree that individual preferences make that disputable.
