Napa & New York Guides
The salon is the most underrated table in the Keller group: the same kitchen, à la carte, shorter, cheaper and bookable at a week's notice.

A lounge area near the entrance with its own à la carte menu, served by the same kitchen that cooks the tasting menus. You can order two courses and a glass of wine and leave in ninety minutes.
It is a considerably lower financial commitment, and there is no prepaid ticket.
First-time visitors testing the waters, solo diners, business dinners with a hard finish time, and anyone who missed the dining-room release.
It is not a lesser version of the restaurant in kitchen terms; it is a different commitment level.
