What travelers say:
The restaurant has a secret entrance, a simple and modern environment, an open kitchen, 17 dishes, and no fixed menu. The restaurant offers exquisite molecular cuisine to diners. The appearance, taste, and experience of the dishes are full of surprises.
The most tempting thing is the last dessert. The chef "painted" on the spot with more than a dozen ingredients. Can you bear to eat the food pictures completed with superb skills?

Last night's dinner was worth the wait and the price. A true gastronomic feast. Like watching a movie. The well trained service staff was part of the description. The presentation was like art. The food blended perfectly. An evening but one that can be recalled and talked about for years.
This Michelin three-star restaurant in Chicago serves creative molecular cuisine. The dishes look like bonsai, all works of art. I don't think the taste is anything special, it's just a gimmick.
I once promised that after I graduated and made money, I would definitely treat my mother to a high-end three-star Michelin restaurant. Luckily, I checked the location of Alinea two days ago and found that there were vacancies for four people today, so I invited my mother and mother-in-law to experience this delicious and fun dinner together. The average price per person was US$400. I didn’t give them a perfect score for the service because I asked them to give me a Chinese menu, but they couldn’t do it. As for the environment, the two elderly people felt that the space was a bit small and not as high-end as Trump’s Sixteen. But the dishes were absolutely delicious and filling, and the portions were quite large among Michelin restaurants. I felt that this trip was worth it, turning food into art to eat, and also satisfied my wish to bring my mothers to eat. I hope to make more money in the future and treat my mothers to eat around the world.
Alinea molecular cuisine has always been known as the best restaurant in the United States. It is located in Lincoln Park, Chicago. Reservations must be made one month in advance, otherwise there will be no seats. The apple-flavored hydrogen balloon is highly recommended, which is very distinctive and an innovation of molecular cuisine.
