Experts' Choice Award Next Restaurant
What the experts agree on
Grant Achatz's follow-up to Alinea reinvents itself every few months around a new theme—Paris 1906, Chinese Modern—delivering theatrical, high-quality dining, though tickets are famously scarce.
“Welcome to dinner as theater, where the only thing more radically varied than each new theme is the quality of the food.”
