Phew! No wonder I was so stuffed afterwards. The meal did last about 4 hours though! This was a really special meal, not something you would do often. I'm not sure if it's worth the hefty price tag (I didn't have to pay) but I'm definately glad I got to try it out. The service is impeccable, the atmosphere perfect, and the food unbelievable.
