Picasso is a tourist-trap-dump with 26 y.o. sommelier who doesn't know what he is talking about. Not to mention mediocre cooking. You are a typical Amerikan with a burger pallet who looks at big names and Michelin stars to help him form his opinions.
Anyone can talk about food (we are all specialists, aren't we) however your comments lead me to believe that your pallet is so untrained that you would be equally happy at Fat burger and at Crillon.
I envy you in a way . Ignorance is a bliss.
Glad for the necro-bump of this thread. I recently met the somm at Picasso's. Guy is a master somm, very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us great service. In fact, he overheard our conversation which included I had just passed the intro somm course and started a friendly banter of dropping a quiz question everytime he'd walk by our table. The food was also outstanding as was the service. The service was that perfect level of attentiveness and friendly vs. that smarmy over the top stuff you sometimes see when places are tying too hard. I'll be back at Julian's the next time I'm in Vegas.
