😒 3/5 - I tried the enhanced tasting menu in the kitchen table.

The reason for my lower-than-average rating is the big difference b/w my expectation and the reality. 1. It's a 99% American restaurant with 1% French mix-up. Don't expect it to be similar to Daniel/Per Se/Le Bernardin. Take it as a sports bar so you don't have the misunderstanding.2. The most aggressive seasoning (which they're actually proud of) among the 20ish Michelin restaurants I visited. I understand taste is subjective/personal but I do think it's too over. No other Michelin has such an overwhelmingly strong flavor. The lobster glaze is too sour for me so they offer me the truffle pasta as a make-up (which is appreciated). Unfortunately the pasta is super salty so I ask if they could use less salt later. Then the duck is again super salty. In my opinion, a Michelin star restaurant should be able to control seasoning in a finer way, let alone it's a $295 enhanced tasting menu. The over-strong flavor leaves me an impression of lack of accuracy. It's probably because they have too many orders from the bar and the dining area so they don't really have time to be careful enough. 3. The $295 enhanced menu is almost the same as the $225 tasting menu. The extra $70 probably only gets you closer to the chefs so you can hear hundreds of "we" when eating (they answer "we" loudly every time they get a new order). According to a chef, the difference b/w the two tasting menus is only limited to one course so it's not really enhanced. 4. I really don't know why they can get two stars since it's way much behind some counterparts like Daniel/Jungsik/Aquavit. Even among American Michelin stars, it's way much behind one-star Gramercy Tavern. I think they should be very lucky to get one star. Can't believe they actually have two.Unfortunately it's the first time that I felt the food quality of a Michelin restaurant is not even OK so I'm unable to finish the desserts. Maybe the bar sitting and several a la carte's should be the right way to visit this place. If you happen to be a big fan for super strong seasoning, this is the right place for you; otherwise, just skip the tasting menu.
