Re: L'ecrivain, Guilbauds or Chapter One?
Personally, I'd go for Chapter One. Last time I ate in l'Ecrivain I found the service to be pretty average for such an expensive place - waiting ages for menus, every waiter who passed our table topped up the wine and water, making it hard to keep a conversation going without being interrupted every five minutes. It's also a bit more stuffy than Chapter One. Haven't eaten in Guilbaud's so can't comment on it. I haven't been in Chapter One in a while but have really enjoyed it in the past.
