| - I"m not going to talk to you about prices, the prices change, if you want up to date information on the pricing, email them. Their reservation and email information is also easy to find so I'll let you do that on your own too. What I will tell you about is an experience that no foodie should miss if they have an opportunity to get to Las Vegas.
Let me start with getting a reservation. No frustrating phone call every day at X time, just send a nice email and you can go back and forth with the wonderfully helpful staff until you arrive at a date (I'd book the date first, then plan the rest of the trip so if you don't get the date you want the first time out, it doesn't crush your plans). Every interaction with the entire staff through the entire experience is wonderful, they really do want you there and it shows.
When we arrived we were greeted like we were the most important people in the world. We waited at the bar for the other guests to arrive, and were given the wine list to browse through and discuss before the 'fun' began. Once all the guests had arrived, they gathered us and led us into the room, yes it is a separate room. They attempted to have us sit on the end (one of our party has a food allergy) however the couple that entered first foiled the plan, no worries, Stephanie managed to instantly alert the rest of the staff to the switch up so effectively we didn't even catch the information being relayed.
Each item you see, touch, smell, or taste is purposefully though out, every single experience your senses have during your 2-3 hour time at E was planned. The room is meant to represent the inner workings of Jose's mind, I'll let you enjoy that on your own, I am sure everyone gets something different from the room. Suffice it to say that it is both artsy, comfortable and functional. The seating is in a U shape, but not too tight, finally we have a bit of room to be comfortable in (ever eat at Mini Bar, or Table 21? You'll know what I mean).
The food, ahh the food. Did you get this far and think I would say it sucked? Heck no, it was amazing. If this is your first experience in molecular gastronomy you picked a great place to start. If this isn't your first MG experience, welcome, I think this will make your top 3 in the United States.
As a DC native I always want to see our local restaurants be the best, and we do have the precursor to E here in DC, by Jose` Andres even. It pains me to say, but yes, E was hands down better than Mini Bar in everything from making a reservation, friendliness of staff, the actual space for the experience and the food itself, was all better at E. I can't wait to go back.
