The fun part is receiving your admission tickets in the mail. I felt like Charlie in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate factory when he opened his chocolate bar to find his golden ticket! Come on, sing it with me - I've got a golden ticket...I've got a golden chance to make my way...and with a golden ticket it's a golden day. Ok I've watched that movie too many times.
From there, it's unimpressive.
We had the wine pairing and the non-alcoholic pairing with our meals. The wine pairing was spot on, the non-alcoholic pairing, some were good and some were not. Non-alcoholic pairing is hard. So I definitely don't give them lower stars just based on the non-alcoholic pairing.
Perhaps we have eaten too many tasting menus, too many molecular gastronomy places. The experience, although intimate and cozy, was awkward and not worth the money. The food was not memorable. I'm very disappointed in this restaurant considering the hype. Sorry Chef Andres. Your other restaurants are much better.
