Have eaten at dozens of Michelin restaurants around the world. The food quality was good but nothing that creative or particularly well executed. The service staff was good but not as passionate about food, the ingredients that go into each dish and how each dish is made as a Michelin restaurant staff should be. The wines alone were good but did not pair well with the food (for example we had a Pinot paired with the red snapper which overpowered the delicate flavor of the fish). The bill came out to be ~$350/person with the basic wine pairing. For that price point keiko, benu and crenn are far better in terms of creativity, freshness of ingredients and plating.
