Dessert ends with a nitro-fueled splatter painting made directly on your table, which tells you everything you need to know about the vibe here. Grant Achatz's flagship is a modernist fine dining tasting menu where scented vapors, hidden ingredients, and tableside theater run all night. It holds two Michelin stars, a Forbes Five Star, and an AAA Five Diamond. Wear something you won't mind sitting in for three hours; standing up is optional, but awe is not.
