I couldn't disagree more strongly with it being bad food or overbearing service. The service is a lot more table side than most are used to - drinks as well as cheese, etc. We had a GREAT guy doing it, fairly young, and we had lots of fun with him and it was really a plus but I suppose if you hated the guy taking care of your table, you might find he was there a lot. YMMV but I had no issue at all with that.

Definitely don't go in with ANY consideration for price though... just accept that its going to be a big bill on your credit card and order purely based on what you want to eat or drink. The fastest way to ruin an incredible experience is to torture yourself with whether the duck is worth the $10 supplement or not... just order what you want. FWIW my bill for the 2 of us with a few drinks each, a few supplements in the menu, and both cheese and dessert courses was about $360 including taxes and tip.

I've spent $250 on dinner before and left feeling unsatisfied - I can promise that for the $360 I spent, I felt like we got every bit of value out of it.

Great information! Thank you!!!
