They turn the tables over at lightening speed. Felt rushed and for a $1000 meal for two expect more personable service and less hubris. I travel all over the world and seek out Michelin star dining experiences. The soup was excellent, the desserts atrocious especially the bubble gum idea. The theatrics were amusing but I could not finish the last 4 dishes because of the rapid pace of food delivery. The front desk staff was accommodating with umbrellas to the cab as it was raining but the waiters and sommelier border on pretentious and were aloof and perfunctory in their approach. The Nerua at the Guggenheim in Bilbao is much better than Alinea and dining experiences in France are much more relaxed and not rushed. Buyers remorse. I won't be back and will be surprised if they maintain their 3 Michelin stars.
