I was glad to see that Masa made it in to the Michelin 3 star ranks. No surprise with Jean George, Eric Ripert, and Thomas Keller keeping their 3 stars.
Public is one of my favorite restaurants in New York. Excited to see that they got a Michelin star!
A bit surprised to see that Adour got 2 stars, but maybe I need to go back for another time. My wife and I thought the food was good, but 2 Michelin star worthy? Not so sure about that.
