looks like a great experience being sophisticated but not pretentious

Never been and probably never will.

Wasnt a great meal at all. Obviousely cool view, but for the $$$ had many many better steaks in my life and many better in vegas. But, maybe something else is good there? Impressive place as well

Just in case you are unaware, Alinea is the best restaurant in the city, according to MANY and has the highest awards nationally.

They are all about Gastro molecular dining,

Regardless its expensive and people plan on going here 3 months in advance. They usually sell out tickets 3 months in advance.

Of course the couple CLAIMS at the last second the baby sitter cancelled, so they took the kid who cried the whole time and basically ruined the night the other patrons.

My guess is do to the DINING JEANIUS we see on this board daily, SOMEONE might have an opinion on this being OK? bad? etc!

You can't afford it.


A buddy of mine and his wife got a $750 gift certificate from there as a wedding gift and they still had to go into their own pocket quite a bit to pay for dinner.

Said it was amazing though.

They have 3 different tasting menu price ranges. The low end is $175 per person.

Can't imagine what you get for $150. Probably just the frozen grape that tastes like a PB&J.


I think it cost my buddy around $1500 when it was said and done, but they went all in and got the full meal as well as full wine pairings.

Plus there's really no view to speak of. That's just shoddy research.
