3. Restaurant Kevin Taylor

My partner and I had the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairing and the meals were equal to anything I've ever had anywhere. The foie gras appetizer was marvelous and the Kobe beef was heaven on a plate. The sommalier was spot on with the wine pairings and the service was wonderful. As good as any dining experience I've had in New York, San Francisco or Chicago. Yes, it's expensive, quality and creativity come at a premium. I wasn't disappointed in any way.

For the sticker shock, you could expect better. The food is obviously fine but when you fork over $100 a head, with no alcohol, that's the least you can expect.
