Dessert tasting at Per Se or WD50?

Still fresh off a trip at the beginning of April in which we visited Soba Koh, Corton, Marea, Kyo Ya, and EMP, I am now planning another trip to include Atera, either Ai Fiori or a return to Lincoln, and hopefully Robertas or Torrisi for their tasting menu. I also wanted to try a dessert tasting and have heard very good things about WD50's which I have never been to. But then I saw Per Se (which I have been to) is now offering a dessert tasting in the Salon. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Thanks!

    I've had both in the last 2 weeks, i'd say WD-50 was exceedingly more delicious. Incredible flavors at that place. Per Se was good, exciting at times, funky savory ingredients paired well in dessert plates (Cucumber, Popcorn, Fennel and Olives for example), however it was just not all that tasty.

      Great thanks for your input. I was leaning towards WD-50 anyways.

      Call to confirm WD-50 will still offer their dessert tasting and what the course/price options are.

      They are doing a full menu revamp on 5/10, removing all existing dishes and dropping the a la carte options. While they may not change the dessert options, it's probably best to make sure.
