The first published review of Tony Demes' high-profile, haute NW spot Noisette emerged today in WWeek, and it's a downright rave: Writer Matthew Korfhage praises each French-modern dish as "simple yet complex at once," highlighting the possibility of the fine dining experience as an entertainment in itself: "The servers orient each beautifully plated dish to the diner with terrific precision, as if framing a portrait over a settee." The spot left such a deep impression that strangers' doggie bags are welcome: "If somehow there's something you don't like, take it home with you; give the paper your address and I'll pick it up."
