[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't think Minibar was really worth it.  I had more fun at Pineapple and Pearls at a similar price point.  [/quote]

I’ve heard this about Minibar from several people.  We had the most amazing experience there, and I wonder if it all comes down to the server when you’re at a place with a tasting menu.  I went with my siblings, two of whom are chefs and another owns a restaurant.  The server was incredibly knowledgeable and generous.  It was the best restaurant experience of my life.[/quote]

Maybe, I don't know how to explain it exactly but Minibar kind of felt like they expected us to just be awed the whole time whereas Pineapple and Pearls engaged diners, asked us to guess things or talked about history and felt more welcoming.  I also felt like the food at Minibar just felt gimmicky at times and I somewhat felt like they were pushing the upsold alcohol way more there.  These were both anniversary dinners.

I really like the other Jose Andres restaurants so I was a bit surprised. [/quote]
