My first -- and last -- meal at The KIitchen was horrendous as well as ridiculously expensive (nearly $300 for two). The owner, a madman, yells and screams at his staff and customers, supposedly explaining the intricacies of fine cuisine. Although some individual items are well made and quality ingredients are used, they are mixed and presented in the craziest mish-mash ever. The place crawls with servers, yet they do very little serving, never anticipate a need, and often are nowhere to be found when you need them. Try to get an extra drink (of anything, even water) and you may die of thirst. Also, before the first bite of anything is served (even bread) you are forced to sit at a bare table for what seems like forever. The Kitchen gets raves, I know -- but only from people with too much money and too little taste.
Extremely expensive but worth it: This is an outstanding performance kitchen restaurant. You'll probably have to wait months for a reservation but you won't be disappointed in the food or the chef's patter. I usually object to spending over $40 total on a meal, but this place is worth what they charge. When I was there a couple of years ago it was about $125 per person, but the creativity and quality of the food was incredible. It's a whole evening of "foodertainment."
