I'm in Shock and awe on how this place has 3 Michelin stars, it shouldn't even have 1. Not being mean or snobby, speaking from other Michelin experiences, that would be superior to Alinea in every way. The wait staff was not highly trained and we're not professional with their demeanor or service. For example, I had an empty glass of wine for 15 min, after one of the staff expressed he would refill me, somebody else later caught my drought. The staff also joked around, we're loud and very unprofessional for any Michelin experience I've had, maybe some patrons were ok with this but we found it rude. This could have been pacified with background music or ambiance, but there was no music or noise to drown out your close by neighbors or rude staff, to be found. Most of the food and ingredients we're nothing special and the table effects werent too great. The last trick, edible helium balloons was the only thing I could honestly say was great. For folks that do a Michelin star experience for the first time, you won't know what you're missing. But having 3 stars for those that do is insulting to other Franchises that do it right and take the responsibility seriously. Three (3) stars gets you anything you want from excited patrons and I have to say this was a hyped up scam. I don't even post reviews as my wife is usually the one to fight for justice, but I can't let this massive disappointment go. I'd recommend other local gems in Chicago to spend your money that would be a better experience and fair trade.
