<p>I did not go for the 24 courses at Alinea. I personally never go for a dinner that takes longer than 3 hours and/or has more than 8 or 9 courses. And like I said, the difference between Per Se and Alinea was negligible. The meat at Per Se was a little overcooked for my taste…and I thought the dishes in general were a little oversalted. But that may have been an off night. Overall, I was impressed by both. Achatz is a protege of Keller’s, so it makes sense that the two restaurants have similar qualities.</p>
<p>But back to Palios. It is a basic, generic, American Italian eatery. I like the atmosphere enough and it is certainly good for college students.</p>
<p>Boyfriend won’t be 21 for another two months when I turn 21, so he’ll be saving up for one and sending me on my way! XD </p>
<p>This is probably a stupid question now that we actually are talking about fine(r) dining establishments, and clearly this train won’t be derailed anytime soon, but has anyone ever been to vinology? I was playing with opentable yesterday since that was how I made my reservation at palio and it seemed to have pretty good reviews and looked like fun. The bubble room is cool looking. haha.</p>
<p>Personally, I go for food that tastes good to me. I have been very disappointed with “genuine chinese” restaurants in “ghetto” locations in every major north american city. I have never eaten at anything approaching a Michelin 3 star restaurant and, quite honestly, I don’t think my palate would appreciate the differences. I know, I’m just a simple midwesterner with a low taste level.</p>
<p>Novi, trust me, if you have a *** meal, your palate will know it! You may not be able to put your hand on what makes the meal so special, but you will know it is special just the same.</p>
<p>Well, I loved it.</p>
<p>bearcats, is there any ghetto chinese noodle shop in A2 u could recommend?</p>
