Timing could not have been better to view the Sunday brunch buffet in the Thirteen Moons Restaurant at the Village. Chef Reaux asked, "What do you think?".... ,"Incredible," I replied,
as the culinary choices before me brought back memories of one my favorite Sunday brunch buffets, a modest version of Atlanta's landmark Renaissance ® Waverly Hotel in the Galleria.
Moments later, a lovely southern lady addressed chef Reaux forthrightly. She asked, "Is it going to be this good every week? Promise... promise me it will be this good every week and
we'll be back." As if she had a child by the ear in a state of admonition, awaiting an answer and satisfied with nothing less, I watched in awe as renowned nationally celebrated,
Chef James Reaux, in his crisp fine white egyptian cotton chefs jacket respectfully responded with "yes Mam, I promise." Receiving a satisfactory reply; she turned and refreshed her plate.
We knew we had just met our employer; the customer.
Commitment to the best of ingredients has brought chef James Reaux to the tables of six presidents, both Bush Presidents, Clinton, Reagan, Ford and Carter, and is now creating your dining
