I tried a Michelin star restaurant once and, pardon the pun, it left a really sour taste in my mouth. We were warned by friends who had been there before to eat a little something before going. We did and even so we were still starving throughout and after. It's hard to concentrate on delicate flavours and nuances when you're really hungry and it's 20 minutes between each spoonful of food for 4 hours. There were lots of other criticisms but that was the biggest one. I felt thoroughly dissastisfied by the end.
