Thank you for the responses! I think I will go with ad hoc since I can view their menu ahead of time.

Hi all. I know these restaurants have come up often on the boards, but I am hoping to take my BF out for his 30th birthday and I am trying to decide between Bistro Jeanty and ad hoc. I like the flexibility in Jeanty's menu, but I have read/heard great things about Thomas Keller restaurants. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance.
