The service is as expected for a Michelin-rated restaurant. They're attentive and as friendly as possible while providing quality service. I think the food is best paired with alcohol. I'm not sure if the food eaten by itself would stand out.
Had a great time at El Ideas! (Dinner started with a lickable dish)! Small, cozy, open kitchen. Fun to watch Chef Foss orchestrate the chefs as they prepared each dish simultaneously for every guest.
