Catherine, I agree that Paris needs all kinds of restaurants, but the cooking and service here were really lacking compared to other great new tables that have opened in the city recently, like Jean-Francois Piege's restaurant or Kei or Les Tablettes. Mais a chacun son gout! My Bruno is a very passionate food-lover, hope yours will be when you find him, too! Best, Alec

Once in while does no harm but this time, I do not share your view.
I understand you didn't like the decor, so the food, but it was exactly the opposite for me.
This restaurant is not like the others. It's a really interesting architectural project. And the food was also unique. And in this case, I’m OK to pay the price.
Maybe, you should think about changing Bruno ;)
Paris should also welcome new "grand restaurant" and not only good table or "bistrot".
By the way, my next try will be L'Agape...
...but waiting for my Bruno.

You're right--it's very TWA and their prices are nuts, especially in a public building and with the global economy in such an uproar! Cheers, Alec

Dude-Thanks for saving me 200 euro-I attended a press conference prior to the opening and thought I'd been dropped into Saarinen's TWA International Arrivals Terminal at JFK circa 1960's
