Get ready for the pre-amuse amuse-bouche. As the morsel that comes “compliments of the chef” becomes more and more banal (yet expected by customers), chefs will try this new twist to keep you enticed. At Cyrus, in Healdsburg, California, for example, chef Doug Keane is already giving diners five tastes before the amuse comes out. And in a continuation of a very annoying trend that emerged in 2008, more restaurants will stop honoring reservations unless you call them back a day ahead to “reconfirm.”
