Eaten at Alinea in Chicago?

Question

If you have...please tell me what you thought as I am considering spending a paycheck here.

Answer 1

It is an extraordinary experience, and that's the point.  It's not just about the food, but about a dining experience unlike anything else.  The dishes they use to serve each course are often custom designed for that particular item.  I did not have the larger tasting menu, just the regular one.  If you just looking for a great meal, I would not spend the $$ at Alinea, but if you are looking for something unique, Alinea is the place.
