I've
been
to
the
best
Michelin
starred
restaurants
in
the
world
and
this
doesn't
really
compare.
Me
and
a
friend
went
to
eat
here
today
and
for
the
most
part
the
experience
left
me
in
particular
unimpressed.
I've
been
in
the
fine
foods
industry
for
about
5
years
now
and
I've
been
hired
to
review
tasting
menu's
for
other
restaurants
around
the
world.
Everest
though
in
a
beautiful
location
leaves
much
to
be
desired
and
has
me
wondering
if
the
Michelin
Guide
was
misplaced
when
awarding
this
place
a
star.
Although
the
food
was
creatively
prepared
which
is
normally
the
case
in
these
types
of
places
it
was
by
no
means
astounding
or
even
remotely
memorable.
There
weren't
any
particular
dishes
that
really
stood
out
and
made
me
say
yes
this
reminds
me
of
France.
The
cheese
was
never
more
than
4
months
old
and
the
zinfandel
we
ordered
had
a
misprinted
date
on
the
menu.
The
zinfandel
being
from
2012
should
have
not
even
been
on
the
menu
as
it
was
quite
young
on
the
palate
and
most
definitely
should
have
been
aged
at
least
another
2-3
years.
Dishes
overall
were
so
so
in
flavor
and
even
after
making
specific
requests
to
the
dishes
they
were
not
met.
The
sugar
in
the
desert
was
abnormally
high
for
a
French
restaurant
and
the
bread
was
not
served
fresh.
The
salmon
was
fresh
and
tasted
good
as
well
as
the
farm
fresh
eggs
but
again
nothing
that
said
hey
come
back
here
again
to
try
this!
The
duck
was
very
raw
and
hard
to
chew,
surprising
because
that's
what
they
were
known
for.
Phil
Patel
a
food
critic
in
Chicago
gave
raving
reviews
about
this
place
but
I
think
the
high
praise
shows
a
true
lack
of
understanding
for
a
true
Michelin
dining
experience.
Especially
as
my
own
waiter
said
"excuse
us
we're
having
a
sloppy
day."
Almost
unheard
of
in
a
Michelin
starred
restaurant
and
yet
he
seemed
to
be
comfortable
with
saying
such
a
obscure
thing.
Our
waitress
and
chef's
knew
nothing
of
the
origin
of
the
ingredients
and
after
$400+
Bill
for
2
people
I
can
hardly
say
it's
justified.
Mediocrity
that
was
on
display
tonight
should
never
be
seen
at
this
level
of
supposed
mastery.
I
for
one
will
never
come
back
here
again
unless
some
dramatic
changes
are
made.
As
I
explore
other
places
in
Chicago
I
worry
the
city
is
not
up
to
par
to
NY
standards.
Despite
this
my
love
for
food
forces
me
to
try
the
best
available.
That
doesn't
mean
it
will
always
be
at
a
Michelin
star
restaurant
but
my
disappointment
tonight
is
a
stark
reminder
of
how
labels
don't
necessarily
represent
the
expected
quality.
