"It took a while for the Alinea Group’s experimental restaurant to get its Michelin star: while it’s common for restaurants to change their menus, very few change their entire theme and design multiple times a year, which means that the restaurant the Michelin inspectors visit is not necessarily the same as the one diners will experience. But the quality is always high, whether the theme is the 1893 World’s Fair, Toyko, or French Nouvelle Cuisine." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
