When Christian found out that
Luc, his favorite restaurant in Seattle, was closing for good he was crushed. Where would he be able to get his beloved boeuf bourguignon now?!? We waited way too late to make reservations for their final days but Friday afternoon while randomly perusing Open Table I saw they had an opening for 2 for Saturday night, their final night of service. I quickly made the reservation {to also serve as a
belated anniversary dinner} so Saturday night we headed over to Madison Valley for one final meal with
The Chef in the Hat. Luckily we were seated outside {the weather was perfect} and after a first round of bubbles {me} and a cocktail {him} we finally placed our order of some of our favorites. Everything was delicious, albeit incredibly slow {we didn't even get to order a second glass of wine until our main courses were already finished, though they kindly comped us each half a glass for the wait}, and we were able to watch as Thierry himself made the rounds to say a last goodbye to all of his regulars. As we walked out of the restaurant and ran into Chef himself, we thanked him for the food and wished him the best of luck in retirement. Though the service was slow and it was after dark by the time we left, I'm so happy we got to try this place one last time and most importantly, celebrate 4 years of being together! Cheers to that!
