The second most expensive meal I have eaten, the first being at a Michelin three star in France. Gunther’s was better – possibly the best meal ever. The food was outstanding and the service as well. The overall experience was capped by our waiter walking with us for a couple of blocks to show us where to board a bus back to our hotel
I had a starter of white asparagus with Parma ham, morels and Hollandaise sauce – absolutely delicious (see picture). But this was exceeded by my rack of lamb, which came with asparagus tempura and a unique gratin dauphinois. I consider myself a connoisseur of gratin dauphinois and this one was the best ever. Usually, it comes in a lump or in a side dish, but this was almost like a crepe with a single layer of potato, on which the lamb was placed (see picture). The whole dish was stunningly delicious.
My wife’s choices were similarly outstanding and we shared a delightful Grand Marnier soufflé for dessert.
Prices were astoundingly high, especially for the wines, which were over $35 by the glass and an average of over $300 per bottle even excluding those in the thousands. I think this was over the top.
Overall a very expensive experience ($450 for two including wine by the glass) but given the outstanding quality of the food and the service, worth it for a once-in-a-lifetime treat.
