Alinea is worth the hype. The food is impeccably presented and the wait staff is amazing. There were several times when my date and I did not even notice that the next course had arrived! We dined on my birthday, and the restaurant surprised us with a special birthday chocolate course-on the house. Great service, fine dining at its best, and the extra personal touches make Alinea a restaurant that I will visit in the future.
