Melvyn's in Palm Springs, California; and an Italian place in NYC called Patsy's
I actually find the food in Melvyn's to be not that great - they have some great dishes, but they have some mediocre ones too. Don't order the Hamachi Crudo. I'm certain Sinatra would've sent that back! Been in Sinatra's seat many times at that restaurant - courtesy of my friend who's a Sinatra fan. When we drive to the restaurant, he even puts on the Sinatra Satellite Radio station!
A little surprise for you: the new "F.P. Journe - Le Restaurant"
So finally the lid has been taken off what Francois Paul has been cooking up for a while. Im assuming this is a side project of passion and not a new career path.... Ladies and Genlemen, welcome to the "F-P Journe - Le Restaurant" It has been a rumor for ...
Is this new?
Is this different from the previous location, or did Journe acquire an expanded ownership stake? I had dinner with F.P. and a crew from the company in the fall of 2017, and the restaurant on Rue de Rhone was said to be his at the time. Best, Tim
An amazing chef and a true gentleman…

Haha. Ok. Perhaps the chef changed since Sinatra was there? I’m sure the legend was picky :-)
The venue looks very cool. I will look it up if i come to Palm Springs.
I'm sure the chef has changed. Maybe more than once!
Again, not really a great restaurant overall. I don't think people go to Palm Springs for the food. Best food in USA is still in Napa Valley (wine country) mostly.
My preference in life is to be rich and anonymous...
...I have brilliantly achieved the latter...
