The end-game of pretension?

[acidboy]

h8rs....

There are two types of high end restaurants... one is for the food... the other is for the experience. I've heard this saying from many people but could never fully understand what the heck an "experience" is.... but after my dinner at Atelier Crenn, I was finally able to understand what that means.

Chef Dominique Crenn is quite the chef... she took me on an amazing journey.
She let me experience food like I never have before. And of course we were able to meet Chef Crenn when she visited our table and we were able to leisurely chat for a bit which was quite nice

Make no mistake... this place is not for the commoner... even if you're willing to splurge on a meal... Because if you're "splurging on a meal"... then it most likely means you can't afford it.... seriously lol...

Of course I did the Grand Tasting Menu that consisted of 12 courses.
I was seriously in awe... the food here will trip you out.
I can go on and on about the food but this is one of those things where you have to experience it yourself to understand it...

This place is very expensive... and rightfully so (being a two-star Michelin rated restaurant)... and if you can easily buy a 300 dollar meal and not blink an eye... then you should def come here. Otherwise... don't come until you do. It's one of those things where you'll count your dollars if you do come without the Benjamin's to back you up.

Oh and don't forget it is a 3 hour meal (pretty much mandatory). So keep that in mind and don't come hungry when you come here... Think 13 small courses over the span of 3 hours... yeah... So if you have the money and the time... then def come here.. you'll be blown away.
If not, you'll be let down and wondering why the hell you came here when you could have gotten 300 cheeseburgers instead...
But this is def a place where you should come at least once in your life so make sure you put this place in your bookmarks for a long time!

Somehow, that Yelp review is even worse than their website...

I think they want you to be prepared to spend. He must have had to splurge.

I swear they cut-and-pasted their menu from Asian stationery printed with Engrish sentences.

Either that or the menu took a couple spins through Google Translate.

There's no way the idiot that wrote that Yelp review can afford $300 meals regularly.

Perhaps we could send Mr. Creosote over to review the place.

I think he blew out the last time he dined. I,m not sure if it was the case of ale, the dozen chickens or the wafer-thin mint.
