Tres - Beverly Hills, CA
Sunday, August 1st, 2010I had no idea what to expect when I read the menu at this place. It said, “non-classic onion soup, with cheese and a slow-cooked egg.” What was brought to me was the bowl you see above, with a poached egg, and 2 or 3 tiny shards of cheese from a grater. On top of this was poured some onion soup broth with much fanfare. This is apparently an invention of master chef José Andrés. It is visually appalling, and unfortunately tastes not much better than it looks. Although they seem quite proud of the presentation, it is certainly not helped by the fact that the bowl looks like a commode. I would say that this theme continues in every aspect of this dish.
