Went to Minibar during my college finals week, and probably had the best meal of my life, for people that love food that makes you think, this place is amazing. My meal was similar to those listed above with a couple minor changes in dish prep but nothing significant. The most notable dishes were the guacamole, the philly cheesesteak, and the peach dessert dish, the baby peaches may have been the best fruit I've ever had. Looking forward to El Bulli in August to compare/contrast. Also, while talking to the chefs heard that they might be closing down for a couple months next year while they try to open up a similar restaurant in LA.

Major bummer, this restaurant was amazing for awhile, with some of the most interesting dishes in center city with their ceviche

Just my 2 cents as a new poster that ate at Per Se a couple years ago, I find the original story of somebody being rushed through in 2 hours highly unlikely, as a nobody the meal I had lasted 3+ hours and included a brief tour of the kitchen, albeit the meal was for lunch, but I can't imagine such a polished establishment trying to get somebody through in less than 3 hours, especially with their menu. In addition, the idea that either European or American restaurants at a high level are more or less formal in the dress code seems unlikely, it almost has to be a case by case basis. While at Jean-Georges when visiting NYC colleges, at a 5:30 pre-theater seating with an almost empty room, they called me out on putting my blazer on the chair.
