It was opened in the 80's on Melrose Ave...I was just a teenager when we first started going there but I can stlll recall an appetizer that I adored (roasted pear, blue cheese, walnut napoleon...)...IF you do recall the restaurant, my question is, Who was the chef/owner???

Tulipe as I recall was co owned by Chef's Roland Gibert and Maurice Peugeot(sp?) It was a great place.

I always wonder why restaurants like Spage last forever, and some other great restaurants run their course and expire. Sun Sep 16 11:30:59 -0700 2007 2943370 15591 wiz
