Is There Such a Thing as a 4 Star Bargain?

Are you aware of the price fixe menu at Po? I think it's $45 for a 6 course menu. When I went a couple years ago I thought the food was very good and the price value equation exceptional. What do you think?

Gotham Bar & Grill's weekday prix fixe lunch. $27 for three delicious courses selected from their menu:

Been so long since I went I can't remember beyond an incredibly rich parsnip soup...

What do you think of the place?

"two courses for $28 and have a Haagen Dasz bar for dessert"

Skip dessert with a pastry chef like Johnny Iuzzini in the kitchen at Jean Georges? On a more abstract level, I'd also argue that there's no such thing as a four star experience without an exceptional dessert to complete the meal.

I've found lunch at Cafe Boulud to be a cheap four star experience. Or I did about 2-3 years ago, when I went a few times. I know Carmellini recently left so maybe this isn't the case anymore. When I went, I found the menu to be incredibly well conceived. Their was a chicken liver on frisee salad with caramelized something or other that left my mouth watering for more.

The service was also impeccable and the atmosphere, a nice, modern but comfortable space, is probably one of the things that made the place so well regarded in the first place. A two course lunch is usually in the low 30s, but I believe they run a prix-fixe special for $30 on the dot.

Hmm, I should head back there sometime soon and see if this is all still true!

I haven't been to Po in a long time. But you are right. I remember their tasting menu being very reasonably priced. From what I remember the food was very good but not up to the level of the Enoteca at Del Posto.
