🙂 4/5 - This would have been a five-star meal, but for a hiccup

This would have been a five-star meal, but for a hiccup with the sommelier, which unfortunately marred the experience.We arrived late due to a delay on the subway, but the staff was extremely gracious and accommodated us ordering the seasonal tasting menu (despite the possibility of a time crunch with turning over our table). We had specifically chosen l'abeille to celebrate our 12-year anniversary and were congratulated by numerous members of the staff. This attention to detail was really special. Our server was wonderful--extremely professional and attentive. This set the tone for our expectations for the evening. Unfortunately, things went south from there. After ordering an aperitif, we asked to see the sommelier to consult him about a bottle recommendation. We expected perhaps a five-minute wait, as he was spending a great deal of time with another table.Courses began to arrive and were phenomenal. However, by the time our third dish had come, the sommelier had yet to speak to us, and had instead assisted three tables who arrived after us--including an older couple seated immediately next to us who was seated more than a half hour after we arrived. Eventually, after flagging our server down twice, he came, and without any reference to our wait, somewhat perfunctorily assisted us in choosing a bottle. After the initial taste, he did not interact with us again to check on how the wine was developing or if there was any need for temperature control. We were really disappointed, as we had read up on him before coming to the restaurant and were looking forward to engaging him on his wine philosophy. This was also cast in the light of a really impressive experience we had with the sommelier at Daniel the evening before. Given how much attention he showered on other tables and how clearly we were ignored, it almost felt personal. Aside from this aberration, the service was flawless. The food was superb. Every dish was perfectly prepared and very creative. The foie gras crème brûlée with onion ice cream was one of the best tastes of the night, and the scallop crudo was an incredibly clean and fresh taste of spring. Dessert was not an afterthought, but yet another highlight. The space itself is beautifully designed and really elevated the meal.Chef Mitsu and his team are incredibly talented and will no doubt continue to gain accolades. We are eager to return and hope that our next visit lives up to l'abeille's clear potential.
