| - I came here with my parents to celebrate my mom's birthday a few months ago. At the time, it was my first time going to a restaurant with 2 Michelin stars and I was DEFINITELY wowed!
The ambience is lovely. Grand staircase, dim-lit, very spacious, pretty quiet and sophisticated, the whole place is amazing. Service was excellent! They even gave me a little stool next to my seat just for my purse!
For dinner, I had the 7-course tasting menu and each course was superb. I can honestly say that I liked every single dish.. maybe not LOVED, but definitely liked. The reason why I give Alex only 4 stars and not 5 is because although it is a really nice restaurant with not one but TWO Michelin stars, in hindsight after going to other restaurants with these highly coveted Michelin stars, I think this is at the bottom of my list, judging by the amount we paid. It is incrediblyyyy expensive! I felt guilty paying so much for just one dinner! I saw the bill and all I could think of was how much clothes I could have bought with that money on a crazy shopping spree!! (or donate to charity of course!) :P I mean, although the food WAS great, I don't think it was completely worth the steep price.
All in all, it was an amazing experience but I wouldn't come here a second time... unless someone else was paying. ;) But then again... I'd probably tell them to save it for something more worth all their hard-earned money.
