Ben Zimmerman Review of Alinea Group
God-like ability to make anything be anything - oh...
God-like ability to make anything be anything - oh that clear ice is chocolate cake? That sheet is langoustine? This is served on a pillow leaking Aspen smoke? - is used to entertain, surprise, and hit perfect flavor notes like the best potato of my life or a summer beach memory of brown butter clams.
Presentation is both subtle and astounding e.g. bucket of flaming salt with glowing coals somehow feels cozy and homey on a October evening.
Tonight's (10/25/17) sommalier was the best - thoughtful, interesting, and full of appreciation for what made each wine special. Didn't catch his name but tall, glasses, blond hair.
Of course all the staff look like sexy butlers.
