Absolutely amazing food. There were textures and flavors that I had never even imagined. The story provided by the staff brought new meaning to the entire experience. The wine pairing was perfect. A few of them are definitely unique and polarizing, but over all I enjoyed them. The atmosphere is at 4 stars for me just because it's a little crowded and loud. With the other tables talking, I couldn't fully hear the background the servers were trying to tell. Other than that, a fully fragrant and enjoyable dinner.

My second time dining and as always it’s a great experience. This menu paid homage to Alinea’s first year. Reimagining some of their staples. Each dish was visually appealing. Some flavors weren’t our favorite but we loved the idea behind each one. As always I recommend the wine pairing with tasting menus. Adds to the experience!

This was such an incredible experience. I’ve never been to a place like this. The food was so novel, so full of creativity, and so beautiful. I’ve never seen so much effort placed into a dining experience. It was more than worth it. This is a must go. Honestly I do love a pizza place or a normal pub but this has got to be the most intense dining experience I’ve ever had. I’m still not sure what I ate.

Dining at Next is an exceptional culinary experience, menu changes 3 times per year, around a theme. Service is outstanding and each meal is an adventure as well as highly entertaining.

Next is currently offering a menu inspired by the legendary Charlie Trotter, and I have to say, it is an absolute masterpiece. Charlie Trotter, who passed away in 2012, was undeniably one of the greatest chefs of all time. Experiencing this recreation of his iconic dishes at Next left me completely in awe. Even in 2024, his vision and creativity feel ahead of their time, and this menu proves just how cutting-edge his culinary work was—and still is.
Chef Grant and the entire team at Next have done an extraordinary job bringing Charlie Trotter’s genius back to life. A standout touch is that one of the dishes is even served on original plates from Charlie Trotter’s restaurant. It’s a beautiful nod to the legacy, making the dining experience feel all the more special.
As someone who has enjoyed many great restaurants and tastings, I can confidently say this meal was head and shoulders above the rest. My husband and I couldn’t stop talking about how remarkable it was. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime meal that you’ll remember forever, this is it.
A special shout-out to Jacob, Hannah, Alejandro, and Zoe—you made our evening an absolute delight. Your attention to detail and warmth made us want to return for another unforgettable experience. Bravo to the whole team!
