This is nowhere near being close to what's considered to be one of the most expensive meals in the country, but, it is quite expensive. However, if you want a truly wonderful dining experience, you will get what you pay for here. I swear there are about five people serving you at each course, and each person has a task - one to hold the plate, another to describe the food on the plate, another to clear your previous plate... It's crazy! But fun! The place is not "stuffy" at all, and the food was quite good as well. Each dish was beautifully presented. I hope to be able to visit this restaurant again sometime!
