Review of Frantzen&Frantzen

Celebrated my 30th birthday here with my family.

Celebrated my 30th birthday here with my family.
Whole thing took forever, 4+ hours. Each tiny dish that you eat with one bite took 30 minutes to arrive

Then they try to push you to buy their crazy expensive wines which costs same as meal if you choose package. They keep asking every half hour even though we said we re good we don t drink.

Luckily my family barely drinks or else the check would have been double from $1,500 to $3,000.

I ve been to the best restaurants in the world (I live between NYC & Tokyo) and this wasn t even close to some of the places I ve been especially in Tokyo.

They had a licorice dish that tasted disgusting, everyone in my family said it was terrible taste. Licorice with some almond and coffee thing, total mess.

I actually love licorice, grew up with salty licorice but that dish was just nasty.

Luckily this was all free because one of my investors paid for the whole thing or else total waste of money.

Service was great, which is expected at a 3 star Michelin place.

But extremely over hyped and of course not worth the absurd price. After 4 hours my family had enough they got very very bored and we all agreed to leave.

It s more of a status thing to go to.
If you gotta spend your own money and you ain t filthy rich like my investor is, save yourself the trouble and don t go here.

Main reason we even went here is because the sous-chef is my childhood friend we grew up in same neighborhood and I haven t seen him in ages because I moved abroad over a decade ago.
