    Love your California tour! Just a fun fact about the 24 year old sommelier, he has only been allowed to legally drink wine for 3 years, but if his education was in California, we passed a law largely for the UC Davis wine program (one of the best in the world and benefactor of the Mondavi fortune after some family drama, see the book “House of Mondavi” for more on that!). If you’re a wine student or sommelier, you can legally sip and spit wine as young as 18 here!

    This seems like one of the most genuinely impressive restaurants you've posted, with regards to the service, atmosphere, and the food itself. Not a lot of stuck up, pretentious, "modern avant garde" foofy presentations, just good food with good technique. Love the energy from the younger staff especially the sommelier as well to make it seem approachable.

    Your videos are always such a joy to watch. Your commentary as you go through these culinary journeys is great, and always impressed by your knowledge of wine. Out of curiosity, when you do wine pairings, is it intentional to leave some of the wine in each glass until they all pile up at the end? Seems like an interesting strategy since the flavor of the profiles of each wine change as your go through the course progression. Curious to hear more about this

    The food looked interesting and beautiful, but over prettified verging too much towards art away from sustenance. Having eaten in Japan extensively, my instinct with this restaurant is it could do with simplifying. I know you like your wines, and I've been a wine collector and lover myself, but can't help thinking that in the end it's just adulterated grape juice and at three times the price of the food, it's crazy. Restaurant wine markups of circa three times retail and four times wholesale typically are absolutely insane from a customer perspective. Almost abusive. Your channel is superb - by far the best restaurant review site I have found on the internet.

    Alexander what a fantastic episode! You also improved on episodes before and listened to feedback. Very impressive.
    For me you are the new: Chef's table from David Gelb. You make amazing videos. I am glad you will go start visiting caviar and champagne makers and not do that with an AI voice anymore.
    It must also be nice to know that if you ask online for the best channels on luxury food everybody is mentioning you as the number one.

    Dine at enough 3 star Michelins. And the food starts to look all the same. Every great chef I’ve talked to. One of their favorite things to eat was a cheeseburger with a great glass of red.

    Good service really does add to a meal. Love the water order and that you never run out. I really dislike running out of water. I would hazard a guess that the young sommelier enjoyed some fine wine at home before his 21st birthday.

    This is fun to watch because finally Alexander reviews somewhere I went to! I enjoyed my visit in 2018, but it was less uniformly outstanding than your experience. The food was beautiful on the plate, especially the first course as you show here, but overall the meal felt coolly technical and performative, precise more than passionate, and the service was attentive and professional but not warm. I wanted to love it but I came away merely liking it. Perhaps it was an off night for me or them, or perhaps they have just loosened up a bit as they've grown.

      Oh, and the wine pairing at the time was like $350pp and felt extremely overpriced, mostly mid-tier California stuff that was quite forgettable and not at all at the level of the food.
