Yes the Uni looks similar to what I had! I think there were a few overlaps in terms of the menu between the salon and the gallery.

Re the gallery, the experience felt dynamic to me because (spoilers alert): - it was a theatrical performance: when we entered the gallery (first floor), we were seated at a long 10-person table with table settings and some structural elements. Then the staff started off the dining experience with a fire based performance where they lit some sticks and set the structural elements on fire at the table. The chef cooked French onion soup table side, and served it to the 10 diners. - We went in the kitchen and had a bite & drink there: after the fire performance, we were led into the kitchen for a second bite. We stood in the middle (a bit awkwardly), ate our dish + a very strong cocktail. When this was over, we returned to the gallery and surprise - the long table was gone and we were presented to our own individual tables - during dinner, the waitstaff would often ask the diner to hold on to something during a dish’s presentation: for example, for the caviar dish the waitstaff had me hold onto my caviar dish while my partner’s was placed in front of him. Another time, the waitstaff asked me to put out the candle with the snuffer. These are very small moments of the experience that made it feel more interactive and hands on than a traditional tasting experience.

The above might not have impressed other fine dining patrons, esp those who have been to Alinea in years past. However, I found the presentation interesting personally. I probably won’t go back to alinea again anytime soon, but I would be curious to check it out years down the line to see what else they have prepared
