There’s a story behind every OpenTable Icon - Sofia Levin went looking for The European’s.⁠
⁠
Head Sommelier Jay Bessell has spent 28 years removing the pretension from wine - proving it’s never about the “best” bottle, just the right one at the right moment.⁠
⁠
It’s the same philosophy that’s kept The European exactly the same for nearly 30 years: no trend-chasing, no reinventing the wheel, just doing it properly, every time.⁠
