What are the fanciest restaurants you've ever eaten at? How would you rate them?

Russian Tea Room in NYC probably the "fanciest", 7/10 but fun atmosphere.
Herb Farm in Seattle the most legit though, only place I'd ever give a 10 to. There was a fancy non alcoholic beverage pairing for each course, including this amazing nettle soda that I'll never taste again. Each course was just fire, they had live chamber music.. quite an experience

It also depends on what you mean by "fancy." Does that mean high priced? That's what most people mean by "fancy."

>This Place is a joke
>My husband and I had dinner here on a Sunday night in August. We had the 100 mile dinner. We have eaten at many "fine dining" establishments together and this was not one. It is a jokw to call this fine dining. The best way to describe it is a type of Disney land for restaurants. It isn't personal in any way. Everyone is seated at the same time and served each coarse at the same time. This is just not ok for fine dining!!!!! There are large communal tables seating 20 or so people and tables of 10, 4, and 2. So the 2 tops end up waiting for 30 mins between coarses as the huge tables finish. Then the next coarse is served in no particular order. So sometimes the large tables would be served first and we would wait another 10 mins. No one ever checking on you to see if you would like more wine or if you are doing ok. Just not service that should come with $200 plus a person. Then multiple tables had peoplke with huge SLR cameras taking full blown flash photography throughout the 4.5 hour meal. So to sum the service up...Awful!!

Le Gavroche is Mayfair, London.
The Ledbury in Knotting Hill.

Both fantastic. I think I'd rate Le Gavroche a bit higher.

Getting rarer and rarer. Restaurants are so loud and uncomfy now. I feel like I need an intercom system with my table half the time.

I don't really go to fancy ones that often since you mostly pay for disgustingly good service with food on the side to impress your date but:

>Blue Water Cafe in Vancouver
Great seafood, great service, good wine options. Price meets expectations.

>Miss Voon in Stockholm
Weird but tasty fusion cuisine, ridiculously small portions, okay service. Not worth the price.

>random well rated place in Sicily I can't remember the name of
Tasty local seafood, normal size portions for this type of place, cheap for what you get - thank fuck for poorfag sicily.

I would legit rather go to a taco truck where the owners speak no English or a mom and pop dinner or really any hole in the wall than something where I will pay $100 dollars or more for two tomatoes slices and a squirt of cow pussy juice because it’s “fine dinning”
