Wow, what an evening of surprises.
Every year, the Keller empire (including Per Se, I think, not sure if theres is now too?) has an annual break, to give employees who work their ass off year round a bit of much-needed R&R. I had no idea about this going in, but apparently it is a French custom?
Anyhow, that means I missed the regular service but got an amazing FL private//catered dining experience, courtesy of some kick-ass (and super lucky for them FL regulars) clients of mine who work/live in the area.
I just finished up a mega project for them and they treated our team to a truly delicious and special evening. It was unnecessary, unexpected, and much appreciated.
I am sure I missed part/a lot of the experience by not being in the regular service mix but it was a fabulous meal with great company and I will definitely be back for the full experience—when I hopefully come back here for a vaca sometime soon.
