Me and my wife came for dinner for my birthday. The only reason I did not give this place a one star rating is because they did offer a birthday card, which made my wife quite jealous, and a glass of shampine. That is very thoughtful. However, I personally did not enjoy the dinner at all. The first thing I noticed when the host lead us all the way to the very back room where the washroom is located (I did not mind sitting next to washroom at all) is that, that room was only Asians... Well you may think I am overly sensitive but I am really not. Let's be honest, being an Asian here isn't easy and I get it. Let's say that day if any other room had asian group, I wouldn't say a word. But during the dinner we had the chance to walk down to the kitchen for a course, and I specifically took a look while I was walking down. No other asian groups... Well I do not know what seat arranging software this restaurant is using, but I felt quite uncomfortable. Secondly, we had a main server who sometimes came introduce dishes, he was a friendly gentleman. However, the other server we had was, how do i put it, made me uncomfortable again. I mean, yes, please do let me know the lemon is only for decoration and do not eat it, but is it necessary to tell my every single thing that we were not supposed to eat? "DO NOT EAT THE ICE!" he said. Oh, thank you so much I was seriously going to finish the huge bowl of ice... Thirdly, the food quality. I am sure everyone cares more about this. The food was good, but not amazing. If you watch chef's table and all those shows, what do they praise the most about a michelin 3 star restaurant? Consistency right? Well obviously not here. I have attached a photo where I zoom in on the desert I had. Well during the dinner, I picked up this little piece of cake and it suddenly broke into two pieces. And I thought "omg what have i done... and I beat up myself pretty bad. After I got home, and I took a closer look at the photo, well, not my fault it broke into two pieces! It cracked before it got to me!! Anyway, did not enjoy the experience and I will not recommend any of my friends to try this place. And thank you Alinea for blowing it, the money I am going to save not going to your type of fancy restaurant will come a long way.
