Marc, can't remember the precise dining details you ask, but we enjoyed L'Etoile most (ate once at Apicius--good to try once...lunch is a different country theme (asian, mexican, french, etc.,)...we did not eat at the grill (am a stickler for A/C--grill does not have it) but we loved L'E...and ask Alessandro (M'D) to seat you in Jerry's section--you won't be dissappointed...if the time you want (e.g., 7:30) is full...Alessandro will send you up to La Palete for complimentary drinks until your table is ready...Buono Mangare! r/wes
