"Incredible but expensive"

August 22, 2011


  • Food: Can't describe it.
  • Decor: Modern/Minimalisst
  • Service: Impeccable
  • Cost: $$$$$
  • Wine / Cocktails: Incredible wine pairing

Overview:

The food was incredible and the service was perfect. However, this was a once in a life time experience (at least for my wife and I). We have never been to a nicer place but it's out of our price range for a second time. We would rather go to Graham Elliot's five times instead of Alinea once.
However, we are glad that we experienced this.
