Starry eyed

A brief and backwards restaurant visit. I dined at a Michelin starred restaurant here in Los Angeles. 1 star. Sweet and efficient service. A lovely, golden, low lit room. And I left feeling hungry and a bit dismayed at the price to food ratio. Hefty check, excellent appetizer, adequate entree and no dessert because they all sounded pedestrian. Only later did I read the criteria for the 1 star; " Stop by if it's on your way." Reminds me of the comment one performer received after stepping off stage; "you were never better." What? Ouch!
