I had been waiting a year to go to Chez Panisse and sadly the food was not all it is cracked up to be and definitely not worth the money. The food was prepared with perfect technique and looked great, but was decidedly light on flavor. I have been to many other top-rated restaurants around the country which lived up to their repuation... Chez Panisse did not. Go to Liason, Betelnut, Chow, Ebisu, Slanted Door, Izzy's, Amber India. All great Bay Area restaurants. Just don't go to Chez Panisse expecting world class food.
Pros: Great Atmosphere
Cons: , Slow service
