This
was
our
second
time
here
with
our
family,
but
the
first
since
Covid
and
the
first
since
La
Petite
Chef.
The
bottom
line
is
while
still
a
superior
restaurant,
the
price
does
not
reflect
much
more
than
the
payment
to
restore
the
spinning
restaurant
mechanism
that
makes
"the
view"
worth
it
in
the
first
place.
Please
note,
and
if
you've
seen
our
other
reviews,
you
know
that,
at
All
Set
Vacations,
we
pride
ourselves
on
providing
true
and
transparent
editorial
content
based
on
all
my
years
as
a
journalist
and
educator.
We
paid
$1200
for
this
experience.
Definitely
arrive
early.
We
shared
drinks
a
snack
in
one
of
the
lower
floor
restaurants
first
because
we
read
that
it
might
not
be
enough
food,
it
definitely
was
enough
food
and
the
wine
at
dinner
was
also
enough
alcohol
to
suffice
anyone.
By
arriving
early,
we
enjoyed
three
different
appetizers.
They
were
ok,
but
mostly
breading,
so,
nothing
special.
The
show
is
cool,
but,
as
a
photographer
and
cinematographer/media
person
myself,
felt
a
bit
dated.
Essentially,
there
is
a
ultra
high
resolution
projector
above
your
table
with
four
specifically
placed
circles
that
mark
your
plate.
That
way
the
projector
can
the
two-dimensional
animation
at
the
same
time
to
all
four
place
settings.
It's
a
simple
two-dimensional
cartoon
chef
that
runs
around
and
you
enjoy
his
antics
for
a
few
minutes
as
he
prepares
what
you're
about
to
eat
and
then
the
food
is
served
right
afterwards.
That's
pretty
much
it.
It
was
cool
but
nothing
that
was
mouth
dropping
or
eye
opening
other
than
just
being
a
novelty.
It
would
definitely
be
worth
a
look
to
do
it
once
but
not
sure
if
it
warrants
the
heavy
price
tag.
I'm
not
sure
if
I
would
recommend
coming
here
just
for
this
part
alone.
However,
the
food,
plus
this
experience,
depending
on
your
preference
for
something
different
could
make
it
worth
it.
Now
for
the
food
itself
at
dinner.
The
food
was
amazing,
but,
heavy!
How
anyone
can
say
they
didn't
feel
they
ate
enough
is
beyond
me!
The
cream
base
on
many
dishes
filled
us
up
and
we
definitely
felt
it!
The
portions
are
fine.
I
did
a
little
digging
and
looked
up
each
one
of
the
pairing
wines
individually.
They
are
all
very
highly
ranked
and
we're
all
delicious.
We
have
more
of
a
preference
for
red
and
we
know
a
bottle
of
stag
sleep
alone
is
a
$100
bottle.
So
having
two
glasses
of
that
was
wonderful.
Put
that
together
with
all
the
other
ones
and
if
you're
a
wine
person,
this
is
like
having
a
high-end
flight.
I
also
included
a
picture
of
the
menu
to
see
all
food
and
beverage
offerings.
The
dinner
courses
were
fantastic,
fresh,
and
served
perfectly.
The
lobster
included
a
portion
of
a
tail
and
one
claw
(would
have
loved
more
of
that
for
the
price
like
half
of
a
normal
8
oz
tail
or
skip
the
rubbery
claw
even
though
it
helps
the
presentation).
The
beef
short
rib
was
very
tender
as
well.
The
first
course,
again,
solid,
and
the
desert
was
complex
and
balanced.
So....let's
lay
it
out
and
see
if
it
gets
an
'All-Set'
seal
of
approval.....-after
the
breakdown.
Let's
be
generous
and
assume
each
wine
glass
costs
$20.
For
my
wife
and
I,
that
would
be
$160
total.
Let's
give
the
first
course
a
$20
price
on
a
normal
menu,
that's
$80
for
all
four
of
us.
Second
course
$30
each
normally,
$120
total.
Let's
assume
each
main
entree
of
short
ribs
would
be
a
max
of
$50
each-
$200
total.
And
dessert,
$20
each
or
$80
total.
So...
for
4
people,
2
adults
and
2
kids:
That's
$640
for
a
really
wonderful
dinner
for
the
four
of
us
at
a
decent
high
view
of
the
other
tall
buildings
in
the
area.
(
remember,
it's
not
spinning
currently).
Add
in
a
tip
of
130
and
that's
$770.
That's
essentially
a
markup
of
$430
that
is
likely
paying
for
the
projector
and,
from
what
we
learned,
management
to
save
up
to
turn
the
spinning
motor
back
on!
Final
thoughts:
if
you
can
rationalize
the
extra
costs
for
the
experience,
do
it
once
but,
without
the
spinning
view,
the
view
(
name
of
the
restaurant)!
isn't
great.
But,
the
food,
drinks
,and
service
is
worth
$640,
but
not
$1200!
