Please tell us how the experience is like. My cousins ate at a two Michelin stars and three Michelin stars (or was it one Michelin star and two Michelin stars?) restaurants in France. According to my cousin, he thought the "lesser" of the two was a better experience and worth the money. The extra cost involved for the higher of the two, did not seem worth it.

I haven't been to any two Michelin starred places, but I have been to four one starred places now (Omakase mentioned above was my first Michelin experience) and lost count of how many Bib Gourmand and just mentioned places I've been, so I feel I have enough experience with the guide to determine if three stars is worth the price. I'll definitely report back though!

Not exactly comparable to any Michelin star restaurant but I would say these two have been the fanciest/favorites of mine. Gordon Ramsay Steak in Las Vegas, NV and Alexander's Steakhouse in Pasadena, CA.

I'm currently living in Las Vegas and I took my person to Gordon Ramsay Steak last year! Definitely one of the best steakhouses I've been to. Alexander's has been on my list for a while, but still haven't had an opportunity.

I entertained the thought of going to Sukiyabashi Jiro in Japan but I think at this point one needs to have a certain hotel reservation to even have a chance of getting reservations.

Realistically I would have to settle for the younger son's restaurant or try n/naka in Los Angeles.

We've got very similar interests/taste. I'm moving to Japan in September (COVID depending still, but I'm optimistic), and Jiro's is the number one place I want to try. I know it's difficult, but I'll be in Japan at least a year and hopefully be able to secure a day.

n/naka is also a place I plan on taking my person to one of these years. After the place mentioned in OP (Atelier Crenn), our top three dream places to eat at are (in no particular order) n/naka, Alinea, and The French Laundry.

Yeah that's on my list of places I need to go still!

I love it. We're nearby Saru Sushi Bar and their omakase was delicious. We're going to have a weekend getaway in Sausalito coming up and will get omakase at Sushi Ran which is supposed to be pretty good (though not as good reviews as the others) (along with just eating a ton of seafood in general while we're over there).

I love sushi ._.

I love sushi too. Living in Las Vegas we don't have quite as many good options as the Bay Area, so I'm really looking forward to moving back for that. Also a big highlight for when I move to Japan!
