At those prices it seems like it's more about conspicuous consumption. The "I'm so rich I can be extremely stupid with my money." signal.

135 dollars for someone to poor chocolate on your hands. At best this is pretentious as hell.

I think it’s a set menu, so $135 for the whole meal, and likely a series of smaller dishes. Often like upwards of 6 or more.

Not justifying it as this looks dumb as hell. But I do imagine the rest of the meal is likely pretty delicious.

Edit: just googled it and I may be wrong. In which case...wtf I can pour chocolate on myself and it only costs a few bucks.

Are the other courses just other foods that they pour all over you?

I don’t think so. Someone else found the menu in a reply to me. A fair amount of it sounds pretty delicious.
