José Andrés's intimate avant-garde tasting counter offers one of the most technically ambitious dining experiences in the country, with around 20 courses of modernist small bites. Reserve months in advance and expect a theatrical, multi-hour journey through inventive flavor combinations. The wine and cocktail pairings are exceptional but add significantly to the already steep price. This is a special-occasion destination, not a casual dinner.
