Dined on Jun 26, 2009
It was a sad event for me given that it was 48 hours prior to the closing of Aujourd 'hui, one of Boston's finest restaurants. And given that it was my final meal there, everything went as I had experienced in previous visits. As always, the service was impeccable. Of course, the meal was outstanding, all three courses. The wild salmon was succulent. The crab salad was flavorful. And the chocolate souffle was as good as I have ever had. A fine Boston institution has come to an end. Your culinary delights will be missed. Au revoir Aujourd 'hui.
