It's about the experience: tasting the food, the wine, the ambience. BUT expect to drop $400-500 on a meal for 2. If you're not used to spending this money and only do it once a year or less, then do it for the experience and go all out.
People complain that tables are saved for the rich. Well, this is a rich restaurant where rich people are regulars. We experienced no delays, minimal snobbery (what do you expect in a place like this? NO snobbery? They have an image to uphold, it's not Applebee's), and they answered any questions that we had. They even took the wine label off for us and put it in a Daniel's wine label 'book' so we could take it home.
Pros: food and wine, ambience, attentive service
Cons: ADVANCED reservations
