A couple of months ago I wrote briefly about an outstanding meal I’d had at Lumiere. No evening out since has bested it on both the food and service fronts, and though I can’t slip into luxury mode all that often, I’m eager to give it another go sooner rather than later. I’ve had 8 pizzas in 10 days, so I’m due for some white linen and crystal.

It looks like I’ll probably get my wish, too. From a recent email:

Both Lumiere and db Bistro Moderne are offering ‘Olympic Hangover Menus’ during the month of March. We have a three course menu at db bistro for a scant $30 and a three course menu at Lumiere for $60. They are both wonderful and compelling ways to revisit our dining rooms…

No kidding. Take a look after the jump to check out the special menus. Several of the dishes that my wife and I enjoyed during our recent visit are offered on Lumiere’s special menu, including the hamachi and the beef duo, both of which were extraordinarily good. If you need a photo refresher, click the link above after reading the menu below.
