Qui

Last night we went to Paul Qui's flagship restaurant Qui. It was superb. The meal was everything I dreamt it would be and more. Chef Paul came over to ask us how our meal was and I was lucky enough to tell him what a fan I was and get a picture with him. He is such a wonderful down to earth person.
