"Instant contender for one of my top meals ever. I can't say enough about our meal at HD. It was top level dining from start to finish in all categories. The ambience and service were fantastic and the food was world class. Full disclosure, I had a couple of martinis at the hotel lobby bar (which is also fantastic) before dinner, so that plus the (generous and delicious) wine pairings started to make things a little fuzzy towards the dessert courses... but I can tell you with 100% certainty that despite that this was a night I won't soon forget. I will spare you the dish by dish rundown but each course was an incredible display of technique, beauty, flavor and attention to detail. I mentioned the service earlier, but it can't be overlooked how important they are to the overall experience and at HD they were attentive, knowledgable, friendly, fun, accommodating... I have run out of adjectives, but the staff was superb. Hélène Darroze is playing in the top level culinary sandbox as a three Michelin star tasting menu restaurant and they have proved to me that they can go up against any meal in the world. They nailed it. We were blown away."
