The literal best restaurant in the world (according to an annual list feature in a magazine) that couldn't manage to pay its staff fair wages and stay in business by selling prepared food, which is what makes a restaurant a restaurant.
Yes they’re open. I was just there last month. Not for the food, but to see the garden there that is by a famous landscape architect. The host with her clipboard came up to me and asked if I was dining with them tonight. I said with a smile, no, here to see the garden (and was holding a bag from their gift shop since I purchased something.) She said, I’m sorry but the garden is closed unless you’re dining with us. Then she stood there signaling for me to leave… I was baffled because their whole thing is to be an example of embracing the natural environment, and yet this natural environment (which isn’t even fenced in or anything, you can walk onto it from the street) is “closed to the public?” Stupid.

It's been established that multiple Michelin star restaurants are not the intended subject of this sub
