Is Fine Dining Worth It? My Honest Review
I splurged on a Michelin-starred dinner. Here's whether the experience lived up to the price tag.
I've always wondered if fine dining is truly worth the hefty bill or if we're just paying for fancy presentation. So I booked a table at a 2-Michelin-star restaurant to find out.
The Setting
Impeccable. From the moment you walk in, every detail is considered—the lighting, the music, the spacing between tables. You feel special.
The Food
A 7-course tasting menu that took 3 hours. Each dish was a work of art, with flavors I've never experienced before. The standout was a deconstructed tom yum with frozen lemongrass foam.
The Service
Attentive but not overbearing. Servers explained each dish with passion, and the sommelier's wine pairings were spot-on.
The Verdict
Was it worth it? For a special occasion—absolutely. The experience is unlike any regular restaurant. But would I do it monthly? My wallet says no. It's an experience to save for and savor.
