I've never had so much fun having a meal. The food wasn't just delicious; it was also incredibly interesting. Each dish served was like a piece of contemporary art. They're designed not just to please the senses, but to engage with them too. You wonder WHAT you're looking at, but you also see that it's beautiful. The head chef plated our dessert himself, which was really cool. My favorite dish was an apple flavored balloon - like it was legit floating. It was a lot of fun, biting into it, laughing at how ridiculous it was, and then hearing my helium laugh through it all. Alinea really is the experience of a lifetime.
