Known for being the No. 1 restaurant in America, tickets for dinner at Alinea go quickly, so plan your visit a couple of months ahead. Alinea’s Chef Grant Achatz has won many awards, including the James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef Great Lakes in 2008, and Alinea is one of the only restaurants in the U.S. to earn three Michelin stars. Dinner is a single, seasonally driven tasting menu of 12 to 22 courses created through molecular gastronomy. It's a unique dining experience where food is presented like art. Since you won’t see the menu until you arrive, it’s definitely a destination for adventurous eaters. The prix fixe menu starts at $210 per person, and a wine pairing can be added. Take time to watch the documentary “Spinning Plates” before your meal to learn more about the restaurant.
