J'adore Adour.






From the Veranda Party, we boot-scooted over to Adour, Alain Ducasse's new restaurant at the St. Regis. Talk about incredible interior design-- it was plush and opulent, yet sprinkled with modern touches. The bar area was quite unique. The gorgeous glass blown bubble-like sculpture, hung delicately from the ceiling, provided an interesting separation between the hostess stand and bar. Once inside, we gravitated towards the bar table itself, from which one could order drinks by simply pressing the order on the touch screen. We then were seated and enjoyed a plethora of rich food, bold wines and decadent desserts. oh, and there may have been belly-aching laughter that caused me to feel this morning as if I had spent hours doing crunches yesterday.
