"THE" restaurant that needs no introduction! A Michelin 3-Star restaurant that is next to impossible to get a reservation. I actually finally went to this restaurant and was extremely disappointed with the food and overall experience. Almost had the Emperor’s New Clothes feeling that I should have liked it better.
