So expensive but one of the best fancy set menu meals I've ever had. Every dish is creative, poetic, and delicious. The desserts portion is about another six dishes. And I love the wine recs!

When you have a chef who's so dedicated to her guests' experience, good things happen. The food was amazingly tasty and playful, and draws a smile on your face every time something unexpected shows up

Atelier Crenn featured a dessert tasting menu that was meant to be enjoyed as a meal in and of itself. Now, one-third of Atelier Crenn's fifteen course meal is devoted solely to dessert. Read more

Well worth the price. Delicious and beautiful food, thoughtful menu and knowledgable waiters. My wife was even able to request no seafood and the kitchen out together delicious vegetable courses!

Do NOT valet your car here. Take the time, look for parking, and avoid the headache that comes with the valet company disappearing at the end of the night with NO NOTICE. Terrible service. Terrible
