We don't live far away from there, especially in comparison to most
people in the world. It's about 30 miles. Still, I can't justify the
money. The standard menu is US$250, including service.

It's not a place to go for "atmosphere" or music. Just food.

The wine is unbelievably expensive. Some bottles are US$10,000. The
list is 103 pages. There are a few bottles under US$100.

Although it certainly isn't for everybody, there are still lots of
people who want to go there. It's very difficult to get a reservation.
