    It would have made paying for your meal more charming if they presented your bill with a red paper clip.

    Very cool, you had me at 80's music! That's a great deal for a starred restaurant. Honestly, I haven't heard of it, but it's definitely added to my list! As always, an excellent review sir!

    The pasta course is confusing - if the & is a typo, they need to address it - if not, then you lost a course. Either way, I will ask when I eat there in Dec. Thanks for the tips James!

    I would totally pay that price for all that food. I initially thought it could not be possible that you were jipped, given the price and amount of plates offered. Strange that they didn't use Or instead of And.

    • @Jamesnu
      @Jamesnu  Рік тому +1

      Yeah, it was definitely worth it! It was great food and good variety! That was a confusing and misleading menu quirk, but other than that, the restaurant provides a great experience.

  • @alexayres7642
    @alexayres7642 Рік тому +2

    You're a nicer guy than you should be to be honest. Whilst I can understand it being a choice of the two dishes based on how the courses are separated with the lines, it still says '&' which isn't confusing, its just wrong. You also weren't asked. For $90 and a michelin star, you are more than within your rights to expect a hell of alot better than that.
    That said, I won't deny everything looked delicious.

    I _really_ find this guy pleasant and likable, enjoy watching him swing for the fences w dining choices. Dig his verbal descriptions.
    I mean this in a purely supportive way (or I’d never bother): I only wish he’d not make that same facial reaction to each bite all the time; it feels inorganic & prevents me from getting a natural, authentic impression.
    If you see this, James, I mean NO offense & continue watching & 👍ing. Best to you going forward! 👌✌️

      I could always go for a dessert of pizza, haha! But I was decently filled up. Although I definitely could've eaten more, there have been other places where I've been left with more of an appetite than my dinner at this restaurant. Overall, I felt like I got my money's worth and really enjoyed the food!
