Three Stars: The Fancy Adventure My Wallet Still Regrets
Grey Sweater is the kind of restaurant where you feel like you should have brought a thesaurus just to describe the food. Each course sounded like it was curated by a poetic wizard who had access to every edible plant in the Amazon rainforest. I think one of my dishes involved “smoked essence of forest dreams” — but it basically tasted like a very small, very confused mushroom.
The service was impeccable. In fact, I have never had so many people ask me if I was “enjoying my experience” while I was actively trying to figure out whether I was supposed to eat the garnish or frame it.
The portions? Let’s just say my plate had more white space than a blank Word document. But it’s not about being full — it’s about the journey, right? (At least that’s what I told myself while stopping by Taco Casa afterward.)
Overall, it was an elegant, memorable evening that made me feel both extremely cultured and extremely hungry. I would definitely recommend it if you enjoy mystery, artful bites, and contemplating life over a $500 check for “just a snack.”
Three stars — because Grey Sweater made me laugh, cry, and eat a few tacos in the same night.
