What a once in a life time experience. I can understand why it received 3 Michelin stars and is rated within the best 50 restaurants in the world! Although I heard that past menus (since they change their menus every so often) was way better than what I had.

Reservations are hard to come by, make sure you read when you can sign up for reservations. I believe it's every 15th of the month at like 9am or some early time depending on what time zone you're in, that you can reserve for the next month or two. I booked it right when it came out and since I was going on a holiday weekend, it sold out instantly. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a 5:45pm reservation though. We did the cheaper tier since there are two prices. The more costly tier allows you to sit at the chefs table and has more display artwork with the food.

It's nice that you prepaid for it so you go there and simply enjoy. Although we added 2 wine glasses and a wine pairing to our bill since we didn't book that beforehand. Everything is a surprise. All we are given is this wordsearch on the table that has part of what we're eating on it. It was hard not glancing at other people's tables to see what they were having. Each item came out and each was delicious and different from anything we had before. The food kept surprising us.

At one point during dinner, they invited everyone in the room to go downstairs to the kitchen to enjoy a bite and drink, which I thought was unique and fantastic. In the kitchen, it was cool to see them mass make plates and to absorb everything in. Once our bite was over, we went back upstairs to continue our dinner.

I don't want to spoil the menu but the dessert was aboslutely amazing. That banana looked so real and it was sooooooooo good. The Instagram photos that you normally see is the candy balloon. It's difficult to take a photo with it. Unfortunately, my boyfriend's balloon deflated when it got to him, but our server was nice to get a new one. But by the time he got a new one, my deflated and we weren't able to get a nice photo together with it. We did, however, suck the helium in and our voices were squeaky momentarily.

Overall, we enjoyed the experience. I think people over hyped it for me that I didn't believe it was AMAAAAAZING LIKE OH MY GOD, but it was definitely an experience. I don't know if I would do it again, maybe in the long future. The price is really decent for a 3 Michelin stars, given that anything in the bay area is at that price already for 1 star or less.
