| - Top 5 meals of my life.
I'll do my best not to wax poetic here (and slobber all over the page), and others have done a fine job of that, already. I'll try to condense my thoughts and let the pics do the talking.
So roughly speaking, the professionalism, visual and sensory appeal of both the meal and setting, along with personalized feel of the whole meal were amazing. It's intimate, procured, and showy; and I loved it. This is obviously not much of a money maker for Jose Andres' at $200/seat but what it lacks in direct bottom line it surely makes up for in mystique, hype, and respect.
I highly recommend the drinking flight for some amazing Spanish procured wines. Word of caution to the light-weights, you might want to skip this and be able to actually remember your meal, as they pour generously, and the last flight of the actual meal (not the drink pairing) is a stiff gin tonic.
Get your reservations as close to 2 months in advance as possible, as there's very limited seating at their two times daily.
Highlights for me: The dry-iced beat soup that formed in your mouth, the parmesan and charcuterie pizza, gelatinous ball "shot" of tequila, and the foie gras empanada.
