Most expensive restaurant

[HeHateMe]

Btw, you could easily spend over 1,000 for 2 people at Alinea.

For reals. Not that I've ever taken anyone there, but my wife did some design work for Achatz when he first opened it up so we got a crazy tasting meal experience I haven't ever matched on my own dime. He dated her best friend for a while and I saw the comped bill one night when us three chilled there and it was pretty expensive and didnt even include the drinks, it was more of just a gratuity guide for the fact we were sitting and eating and being served.

Does Achatz only cook at Alinea? I feel like I read something about him opening up another restaurant, but wasn't sure.

This was back in a day but I dont think he really cooked there when we went there. I'm pretty sure he was already a rockstar chef but idk it was just super cool to eat there as a pleb.

Expensive food and liquor is completely wasted on me.

Yes, he and his biz partner have Next, as well. They had a cocktail bar but I believe the closed it b/c Covid. I have not been to Next but have been to Alinea a few times. Achatz has been there every time we went.

Imagine going to a high end restaurant and ordering a fucking coke.

It wasn't a fucking coke. It was a Mexican coke. Apparently, sugar is really expensive.

Yeah, that's not even close to the most expensive, here's a bill from the French Laundry in Napa, supposedly for a table of two.

Pre-covid, Wife and I had dinner in their upstairs salon with wine pairing and it came out to like $800 Before tip. You could definitely do $1k but it would take a fair few drinks.

Chocolate milk $9

Overrated.

Overrated.

When did you last go? Its been quite a while for me and their corkage policy is horrible. But I thought they were still on top of their game.

No recently, maybe 12-15 years ago. But to be fair, that's not my preferred style of dining.

I've eaten at many Bay Area restaurants that I preferred at a fraction of the cost, though the atmosphere and service at French Laundry is truly world class.
