Had a business lunch at Gunther's and was very impressed by the outstanding service and food. Amazing selection and quality and high flexibility of the crew to meet any special request from the guests. A great place to eat.

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.

We had dinner here tonight. The food actually was just okay nothing special. Service was good but mistakenly taking order of the cold angel hair pasta with caviar after being informed that I can't take truffles. However, they're kindly offered me a substitute which was the raw scallops. Quite tasty and fresh. Overall this restaurant was nice but can better. The sole as their special was nice but the serving was too big. The price quite too expensive for the food served.

We found Gunther's randomly so did not have any knowledge of their level of cuisine.
The dining room is dark and lovely and the service is rather formal. Food here is top quality and beautifully prepared and presented. The sole was delicious, and the grilled tuna nicely done. The specials for the evening are brought out and described, and thankfully, we inquired about the prices prior to ordering. This is an expensive place to dine. They have a large wine list and allowed us to taste before committing to a bottle.
We were treated to a sampling of dessert treats, which was really nice.

Had dinner here with my friend. The signboard can be done better- i had difficulty locating the venue because their signboard is black with dark brown words. In the late evening it is difficult to make out the words under dim street lighting. The food was excellent although the prices were very steep.

The cold pasta was truly out of this world and the Dover sole was also very delicious.

The dessert was sadly not up to expectation, the crepe was just average at best. Service was average for the price paid, I had to keep asking for a water refill. The waiters also kept interrupting us to explain dishes to us, this was a little annoying especially since we were more keen to catch up with each other than to have a food commentary.
