Wow. I've never been anywhere so high up! My boyfriend and I went here on a lovely fall Wednesday evening, and were treated like the king and queen of england the whole night. I thought they'd treat me differently because of my tattoos, but the guy with the wine had a full sleeve under his nice suit, B.A.! We had a wonderful meal, everything was so foreign, but so tasty. I had some amazing cold corn soup with lobster at the bottom of it. I am now trying to figure out how to make this for myself.
Want to have a get dressed and feel fancy night? Go to Everest.
I'm with Paul on this one - get over yourself, Everest! I went here with my husband on a weeknight for dinner and was truly unimpressed with the snooty attitude shown us. We came straight from work and were early, so it is not like they were crowded yet, but we were still ignored. We ordered and were criticized on our choices and when I only ordered a glass of wine (he doesn't drink it, and I'm not a booze hound yet so I'm not ordering a bottle!) you would have thought I washed my hand in the water glass!
The worst part was that the next morning, I awoke with severe food poisoning - so bad I had to call for my mom to help me get to the hospital. When she called the restaurant to see if anyone else had reported symptoms (to try and help diagnose what caused it) they told my mother I must have eaten "bad food" elsewhere that day. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I called the restaurant where I had lunch and they were very kind and sympathetic, but had no calls or problems (plus, what I had there was not meat or seafood and couldn't be undercooked). I sicked the City Health Department on Everest for their crappy behavior and eventually found out that it was tainted seafood that had caused the illness. I will NEVER go back to this over-priced and under-clean hell hole.

I got engaged in 2005 and after he popped the question we went to Everest.
It is a lovely restaurant -- I love French food and French wine. The view is fantastic. The prices are exorbitant. The service is excellent. The food is ridiculously rich -- wowza.
They gave us a book when we left about French Wine ... I still have the book. I don't have the fiance anymore. Phew. Dodged that bullet! ;)
I'd go back on a special occasion. It's very expensive.
People thought this was:
SNOOOOOOT! OK, so, I pride myself on being able to dine anywhere and fit in perfectly. Never have I been so annoyed by the attitudes of those around me...I'm talking about the waitstaff mostly. I found the decor to be dated, and the service annoying. When we did not want to order a bottle of wine, the waiter snottily asked, "What would you like to order...water perhaps?"
I found the food to be just OK, nothing to write home about. I'm happy for those of you who didn't notice the attitudes around you. As for me, I wouldn't go there again. There are too many nice restaurants in this city to waste my time at a place where the wait staff makes you feel like you should be serving them.

The Last Supper.
That's what I called my 21st birthday dinner here. I had the chef's tasting menu, and it was delicious...down to the last bite. I had 11 courses, including the birthday dessert. I couldn't eat anything else for the rest of the week.
The service was amazing. My brother and sis-in-law joined me for dinner, and due to her shellfish allergies, the kingcrab plate was replaced by a 24kt risotto dish. Bread came around constantly, and my server had the best recommendations for wine pairings. Not to mention, I received a signed copy of the menu by Chef Joho. :)
You cannot go wrong with the Everest -- okay, maybe with the directions. It took awhile to get to the restaurant from where I was coming from, but the security guard took the matters in his hand.
Thanks Everest for an unforgettable birthday!

The Everest Room has been here forever on top of the Midwest Stock Exchange. If the leopard-print carpeting and white lacquered columns at this dining room on the 40th floor seem dated, that impression is quickly dispelled once the meal begins. I opted for chef Jean Joho's seven-course tasting menu with pairings. Dinner began with an amuse-bouche: a mousse-light brandade, a sip of artichoke soup, and a dab of celery remoulade festooned with a crispy piece of fried fish. A single scallop served atop a bed of shredded cabbage was dressed in a hauntingly good sauce featuring melfor, an Alsatian honeyed vinegar, with hints of bacon and pleasant bursts of caraway. The crowning dish, a medallion of venison served with tiny portions of spaetzle and red cabbage, was a revelation. Throughout the wine pairings, which included classic Alsatian offerings -- a Tokay, a Riesling, and a Pinot Gris -- as well as a big American Zinfandel with the cheese course, were right on the mark. My date and I floated through the desserts on a cloud of bliss right up to our after-dinner coffees and wonderful pasteries.
This is simply one of the very best grand old restaurants in Chicago and it also has a wonderful view from the 40th Floor of the entire city and suburbs.

We went here for our anniversary, and it was good, but not spectacular. The view was spectacular with 290 extending to the horizon, and we were there when it was VERY slow. There were maybe 15 diners for 3 hours. The food was good, not plentiful, but not spectacular. The service was good, very attentive, yet not stifling. I wouldn't go back because there are so many good restaurants in Chicago, why not try others?
I don't know...
This place is a bit too much for itself. Obviously you go there for special occasions and they treat you like royalty. The food IS good but its really not amazing - I went there a few months ago and I really don't remember what I ate.
The view is pretty nice but the decor is a joke. It is the worst 1980s nouveau riche atmosphere I think I've ever seen, seriously. I think Gordon Gekko would've hated it. Like the food and the bill, I think its just a bit too heavy.
But yeah, you can definitely impress the s**t out of some people if you take them there, so if that's your goal, do it!!
Seriously if you are in it for a good meal (though not so neatly presented) then I think Johos 1/20th of the price restaurant Brasserie Jo is actually better.
We came here a few years ago, but I still remember loving this place. This was a choice of ours before we saw a show since they had the pre-show prix fixe choice. The dining room is very elegant and the service here is IMPECCABLE. The view is great in the early evening. Our waiter was very patient with our lack of French vocabulary and interpreted whatever we asked. Unlike some other reviews, we didn't get the snooty-ness that night. The food tasted great, the portions were on the smaller side, but the taste made up for it. Great for a nice night out or a celebration.
One of the best views in the entire city. And the food wasn't too bad either.
People thought this was:
To start, I should point out that my wife and I got the 8 course Tasting menu (it was our anniversary, we had gift certificates, etc).
To start, the decor here is extremely dates. When we walked in, I remarked to my wife that I expected to turn around and see Patrick Bateman doing a line of coke off of one of the tables - this place is stuck in about 1985.
The food, as compared to the tasting menus at Charlie Trotters and Tru, was sorely lacking.
First, we ordered "only" a $100 bottle of wine (which is probably in the 5th percentile of prices here), and the waiter looked at us as if we were the cheapest heels he had ever seen.
The first course was a trio of Amuse Bouche's - a celery root foam (actually tasty), a lobster bisqe (OK, but I've had better at much cheaper prices), and what passed as a fish stick (my wife asked if the Gorton's Fisherman was the sous chef.
Next was cold lobster on a plate. Literally. There was a tasteless white sauce that had the consistency of a bodily fluid that dare not be named. I was relieved when it only tasted like nothing.
Next was french onion soup. Now, I like french onion soup. But when we're dropping $400+ for dinner, I expect more than soup flavored with onions and pieces of oxtail (about the cheapest meat on this earth).
Following this crusted skate wing with mashed potatoes - again, a dish I would expect at a haute cuisine restaurant. There were several other items on this plate, but 3 courses ago, the waiter decided to stop explaining to us what was being served (a custom at "fine dining" places - especially with tasting menus. We did notice other tables were still getting an explanation). It was OK.
Next, we had duck. Again, I'm not sure what else was here. It was cold.
After this course, I left for the bathroom. when I returned, a piece of sorbet was half melted over a fruit/gelatin puree - they had served me a frozen dish when I wasn't there! The sorbet tasted like Lemon Pledge (that you would use to clean your furniture) smelled.
Following this was a cheese course - unprepared by Everest. This was actually ok, as were desserts.
I've been to both Tru and Charlie Trotters, and walked out of both feeling that no meal would justify the $400 - $500 for two you would spend. Everest was significantly worse. My largest complaint was that the money you spent didn't appear on your plate - they used cheap ingredients (oxtail (repeatedly), cabbage, onions) and used minimal preparation. This is "French" food in name only, which is shocking, as Chef Joho runs a perfectly good French Brasserie (Brasserie Jo). Stay away - especially if Patrick Bateman shows up.
People thought this was:
Everest was my first experience with French food and now I am hooked! The service was excellent and well orchestrated. The tasting menu is the only way to go! The twelve courses are presented like small pieces of art with new flavors and textures that open your taste palette to a new world. The view is facing west towards the suburbs which is really interesting.
I do hold Charlie Trotter's over Everest because Trotters offers juice flights. Yet, hands down the view and decor of Everest is better that Trotters.

was in chicago for a week and want to try something other than American food. Pick this place from travel guide and here is what I have to say about this place.
Location is a bit tricky. It took us a while to find it.
Environment is okay, too bright for a French restaurant.
Waiter was very nice and not pushy. His name is Troy.
Semi formal, wear a jacket if you want to sit by the windows
food is not as good as French Laundry but acceptable. Don't get the duck because for some reason it was a bit dry even when we asked for rare.
300 bucks for 2 of us with a glass of wine.
People thought this was:
I am going to break some Chicago-an hearts with this. But last night Everest was the height of disappointment after all the rave reviews. Ivo Soldoni's sculptures on each table were perhaps the only highlight of an otherwise stodgy even if grand setting.
Everest has a good selection of wines. The food was not extraordinary, although I must concede the risotto was delicious. Here are at least three blemishes that we experienced during our short dinner:
1) When we asked for forks at one point, a member of the staff reminded us in a thick French accent that we were supposed to eat right off the cup/spoon--not sure if thanks are due for this lesson in fine dining. Bravo!
2) The server dropped a bread roll that bounced off the table on to an unsuspecting colleague's lap. Granted, a pardonable sin. What was less acceptable was that there wasn't a hint of apology. Hilarious!
3) To top off our experience, our favorite server spilled a generous amount of water on our dessert menu, and was too pre-occupied with who knows what to even take notice. Cool!
I will not go here again unless I particulary enjoy scaling the Stock Exchange building and enjoying the views from Everest. Without having to pay for it, of course.
People thought this was:
This was a very nice dining experience. From the time we arrived we were treated to very good service. After we were seated I looked around and decor is nothing to much, the views are nice though. As for the food it was all very delicious. Lobster, New york steak and finishing touch the souffle. What the!! I need more. The wine choices we made were also very good. This was indeed a very nice and enjoyable evening.

Before I proceed I need to divulge that when I went to Everest I was an employee of Lettuce Entertain You and so I got 50% off. Also, the sommelier at Everest used to be the sommelier at Brasserie Jo, and he hooked us up with some great wine. Yes, I am a very lucky girl!
Everest is by far the nicest restaurant I have ever been to. The view is incredible (I've uploaded a photo). The place was like a museum, though: everyone spoke in hushed tones, and the servers watched us like security guards, wearing suits and saying nothing as they stood with their backs to the wall. When it came time to actually wait on us they sprung into action and were very cordial and knowledgeable.
We had a 6 or 7 course meal, starting out with an amuse bouche that consisted of a platter of unidentifiable food items arranged on little spoons. They were delicious. Everything was delicious. Highlights included escargot risotto and a single dish on which rested five different kinds of chocolate dessert items. All scrumptious! Chef Joho himself came out of the kitchen to thank us for coming, and provided a complimentary soup course. When I requested tea at the end of my meal I was thrilled to be offered a tea menu, even more thrilled when the busboy brought out a tiny teapot of looseleaf tea and asked me how strong I wanted my tea. When it was done steeping he returned and poured it for me. I laughed when we got the bill and I realized that the tea was $10! Well I guess they made it worth it.
I don't know if I'll ever have the opportunity to return to Everest so I am glad I visited it while I could. If you go, ask David the sommelier to help you choose your wine. He's a great guy who really knows his stuff.

I used to be really into the fine dining scene. Name a fine dining restaurant in Chicago, or better yet, across the world, and chances are I have been there. But, surprisingly, last week was my first visit to Everest. My husband thought it would be a nice surprise after our busy move the week before.
As far as fine dining restaurants go, unless the restaurant if completely outstanding in every aspect (food, dining, decor/ambience), and the restaurant somehow sets it self apart from the crowd, after awhile, most of them start to seem exactly the same.
All in all, I thought the service was great. Not the best I have ever had, but great. This is to expected in restaurants like Everest.
The decor. Absolutely horrible. I know some people say the setting does not matter, but I think it does, especially if you are spending this kind of money. The entire place just looks kind of drab and outdated. This restaurant prides itself on being romantic but with this setting, I just don't think it is. Sure, the view is nice, but, believe it or not, some girls don't care about view. And, this restaurant is in Chicago afterall. If you are talking about view, I rather be gazing down at beautiful mountains or serene beaches, not buildings in Chicago that I have to walk by everyday to get to work. And the ambience was not helped by the fact that a spider was dangling from a spider web from above our table.
The food. It was outstanding, better than the food I have had at other fine dining restaurants in Chicago, but not the best. The sea scallops were my favorite! And, of course, the dessert!! But the food does not make up for the other aspects the restaurant is lacking in.
So, why only 3 stars. As far as fine dining in Chicago, I think you are better off going somewhere else for a more unique and memorable experience.....Everest just doesn't do anything to make itself stand apart from the crowd. I would recommend Alinea for the spectacular presentation of the food, Charlie Trotter's for service that goes above and beyond, or Arun's for fine dining Thai....the list goes on.

Went here with my buddy Matt and my wife Mackenzie. Kenz was pregnant, so drinking was minimal for her. Matt and I did the wine pairings and we all did the grand menu.
Overall this was really some darn good grub. The service was good as well. The sommolier was really personable and since she is our age, we talked with her a while and got some good recommendations from her about wine and other places to eat. I think that the wine was definitely good, but I hadn't been fully immersed in wines at the time I went and so my palatte was lacking. I do recall an exceptional Champagne to start things out (Premier Cru or the like I believe).
We took the kitchen tour and the kitchen is pretty freakin' cool. Not as large as Tru, but larger than Trotter's. Overall tasty and worth the price tag if you can afford it.
People thought this was:
exquisite and exclusive
hard to find, but it makes you feel good your a part of it. the food was great, service sucks a big one, and the clientel for the most part does seem bored.
i went last year with my gf and we had a good time. its hard to argue the food. view was great, food was solid, but yes the service is overly pompous, rude, and disrespectful.
My husband picked out this place for a private sit-down function.
Its a little bit difficult to find this place and when you get to the lobby, the security guard was aloof about reservations. I was annoyed with this 10 minute delay.
The chef's wine list (reserved wine) was fantastic and a great starter.
I had their Russian caviar- great presentation, firm and creamy.
Roasted Maine Lobster with butter and ginger-The best I've ever had.
They removed the lobster shell and placed the whole lobster on the plate. Looked so great, too nice to touch.
Dessert was to die for. ( It should be.)
Cheese plate was okay. I asked for slices of green apples and they seemed confused...apples and cheese? How absurd!
Over all, our meals-- $300/person including wine, four courses, port and coffee.
And you get to blow all your money with a great view.
People thought this was:
It really is the summit of Chicago dining as far as I'm concerned. I've been to all the other major players, Trotter's and Tru. Everest is just that little bit better than the others.
The food is great, French cuisine with locally sourced ingredients. The view is fabulous. It's great for a romantic dinner for two.
The best thing is that they actually keep track of their customers. If you come here a few times, you'll be treated like a celebrity. We've only been a handful of times, but now we are always greeted with, "Welcome back" and are given a table by the windows.
The service is formal without being stuffy. It's friendly and approachable. The sommelier is so lovely. She's young and really interested in assisting you with your wine selection.
I can't say enough about this place. It's even better than many restaurants I've been to in France.
One note, if you go, make sure to get directions to the parking garage. It can be a bit tricky to find the first time.
People thought this was:
We came here to celebrate a team milestone. Because it is on the top floor of the Chicago Stock Exchange, there was really tight security getting into the building and from one set of elevators onto the other.
We booked a private room in the corner, with window view out into the city, which was great. The place was 101% fancy shmancy. Meaning, we had waitors who stand behind us and change our plates after every bite. It kind of gets on my nerves. My favorite part of a meal is picking at crumbs.
My favorite here is the chocolate souffle. they took my order for it in the beginning; i thought this was odd, until i realized that they make it from scratch for you, so when the meal's finished, the souffle would be ready, hot and fresh. it was heaven.
People thought this was:
Everest will cost you $400 for dinner, but the valet is free!
Nice for a special occasion, perhaps, but at the end of the day there's no escaping that Everest is overrated. Some people really get off on dining at these kinds of places, where the presentation is as important as the food itself. I don't know, it makes them feel important and glamorous like they should be profiled in CS or something. If you're one of those people, then you'll probably love Everest so check it out. Maybe head to Rush Street afterwards.
I'm not just hatin' -- I really wanted Everest to be as good as advertised. I took my wife here for her birthday, but the truth is if you've ever eaten at one restaurant like this before, then you've eaten at them all. Don't bother unless you just want to cross Everest off your list.
The food is good, but for this price shouldn't it blow you out of your shoes? I can find you 20 places with better food for half the price (or even less). I will concede that the service is great, but again, how much do you really require out of your waiter? Pick a neighborhood restaurant and start tipping 25%. It won't take long for you to become a V.I.P. and you'll save enough to buy new golf clubs.

F this F'ing place! This place is an absolute joke. We kind of stumbled upon this place last night (yes stumbled, even though you need a map to find it). We decided at the last minute to try this place out, and what a mistake it was. The only thing more smug, pompous, pretentious, dull, arrogant, shallow, miserable, stuffy, fake, and annoying then the service staff were the actual other customers. Our head waiter (if that's what they are even called) was possibly the most annoying creature on the planet. We went with the 3 course meal, and when we selected the salad as our appetizer, he rudely insisted we get something else like lobster, oysters, etc. I finally had to tell him that we ordered the salad because that is what we wanted, so move along. Why even list the salad as an option if your staff is going to ridicule the customers when they select it!?!? The food wasn't even that good, and considering its $100 a plate, I expected it to be. The views out the window on the 40th floor of the Stock Exchange did seem nice, although we weren't seated directly at the window. It's probably a good thing we were not seated there, because I may have been inclined to toss the waiter out one. As dry as the service was, I suppose I understand why they are the way they are when observing the other clientele. What a miserable group. No one seemed to be enjoying themselves. It was like being at a slave owner's convention in the 1800s held at the local library. We were by far the youngest people in the place (I'm 32, GF is 29). I wouldn't go back for free....
People thought this was:
Everest is a phenomonal restaurant. The views are amazing and the food is excellent. I also LOVE the decor and ambiance.
HOWEVER, our waiter was a complete snob and very rude- hence, the 3 star review. He wouldn't even offer a suggestion on the menu when I asked what his personal favorite entree was! It is one thing to attend to your guests and provide excellent service, but that doesn't mean you can't lighten up, gauge the personality of your table and act accordingly.
I would go back again, I have only been there once. But I'm not raving because our waiter was a total jacka*s.
People thought this was:
Food: Great
Service: Great
Room: Cheesy as hell; with leopard print carpets and cheap looking glossy, white (or was it gray -- can't recall), Ikea-esque, Formica furnishings. Other than the amazing view, I felt like I was dining in some guy's bachelor condo from the 80s.
People thought this was:
I have been here 2 times, and it is hands down the best restaurant I have been to.
it is old school fine dining at its best. The service is unreal, and the food is spectacular.
Highlights for me: The lobster came served completely out of its shell, and their wine list is unlike any other in the city. The desserts are out of this world as well. The waiter heard me mention I wanted the olives from my husbands drink, and a minute later, they brought me a plate with 5 stuffed olives! unreal!
the ambiance is quiet and romantic. You feel like special the moment you walk in the door. It's great for wedding proposals, or just a fabulous evening out.
People thought this was:
I loved the atmosphere here, from the super exclusive batcave valet and airy private rooms to the bronze sculpture centerpieces and the old New York feel. The view from the 40th floor is gorgeous, and overall the experience is very different than most high end Chicago restaurants. The service could not have been better, and the sommelier on duty was friendly and helpful.
4 stars because the food was good but not great (which it should be for the sky high prices)... it was not the best thing about this restaurant, despite the exquisite presentation, and it doesn't really compete with the food other chicago restaurants offer. The highlights of my meal were the carnaroli risotto and the sunchoke soup starters, by a mile.
If you go, check out the Everest website first to find out which artists' work will be on display and learn a little about them!

Decided to take the gf here for the early portion of NYE 2009. The journey up to the restaurant led to much anticipation. Once seated, it seemed a bit uncomfortable at first, possibly because my girlfriend and I were slightly younger than most of the crowd @ Everest. Once service began and I decided on a bottle of wine, the night was great. I was astounded by the food and did not want the meal to end. The restaurant itself is romantic and a great spot for special occasions.

I had a great dining experience at Everest. The views are amazing and the food was out of this world. It is one of my favorite restaurants.
Once you actually find the restaurant you can rest assure that anything you order will be exceptional. I mean, dude, the tangerine soup half way through the degustion made me weep. The room definitely has preferred seating and not every waitstaff is there wholly to attend to your needs. The pace of the degustion dinner is even and not at all pushy, but you also don't have to worry about paying the babysitter exactly what you'd promised. Decidedly a special occasion meal, but try them for lunch for great food and a lighter bill.

I am not one to frequent restaurants like the Everest often. I don't have much experience in very high end/expensive restaurants like the Everest. However, I must say, nearly six months after visiting this establishment, I can still taste the delectable food and I can vividly remember my experience.
The service was amazing as should be expected from a place like the Everest and I can only hope that they pay their workers good wages because the staff was amazing... everyone was there to serve, but not in an overbearing way that I've experienced at other places. The view from this top story restaurant is amazing and the atmosphere is really relaxing.
The food was so amazing and I can't remember exactly what I had, but I ordered the create your own dinner deal where you can select an appetizer, main dish, and desert item for one price. The flavors were strong, but not overbearing and the food was high quality, but did not taste buried by oil or butter. There are a billion types of bread that they offer you and you can try different types each time they come by your table. They also had a variety of desserts for the last course (after the dessert that you ordered) which were displayed cutely so that you can choose the items that you want. The three course dinner that I was expected turned into a seven course dinner after it all. I left feeling so full and happy... it was amazing... I felt as though I could keep eating, even though I was stuffed beyond my wildest imagination.
The Everest is a great date spot for a special night out with your partner, or for something before a play. They are very accommodating to any needs. I highly recommend the Everest!

A wonderful evening! Love the decor, the view is dramatic and thrilling. Yes, it's expensive and mostly it's worth it. I don't think it's on the level of Tru or Alinea, but it's certainly up there. I love the car service which is offered. The wait staff know their jobs but could have been a little more polished--some of the uniforms were improperly fitted and water glasses were never refilled, but plates were always properly placed. I don prefer it though that the staff takes a plate away without asking, "May I remove this course?" If the silverware is placed closed on the plate, then you may remove it. The stemware was beautiful too. The place is formal but that doesn't mean you have to be all quiet and uptight. Although we were a party of three, we think we really enlivened the room when we arrived, we didn't fall for the stuffiness or rudeness that others have mentioned, and I think the waitstaff really enjoyed that. Go, have a good time, do the wine pairings, ask lots of questions, ask to meet the chef--have a good time.
I took a friend here for his B-day about two weeks ago. Outstanding. Everything from the service to the wine. I had the salmon, the lobster salad, and the new york that they cut and plate at your table. The chocolate souffle was a celebration by itself. And the view completes the whole experience. At $200 an hour this place gives you what no psychiatrist can. Your mental health. Would I go again? Yes. The best restaurant I have ever been to. Sorry Charlie.

Food was ok. The views (if you can get near the windows) are great. The restaurant lacks ambiance and appears to be stuck in the mid 80s; could really go for an update of the room. My chair was so old I actually sunk in and felt like my bottom was going to be stuck in the chair! I took my beau there for his 29th bday and don't think that I would go back.....
People thought this was:
A once-a-year experience at most, due to the cost, but almost always well worth it. The top of food, wine, and usually service. But your experience depends almost 90 percent, I'd say, on your waiter. All except one time, we've had superb service, very gracious and polite but never obsequious. Very attentive, almost to the point of reading your mind. But a sniffy waiter absolutely ruins the experience, and it does happen: we had one who turned up his nose at almost every request--he definitely appeared to think he was above us in every way. The food is just spectacular, and so is the view.
People thought this was:
French food on the 40th floor. This place is amazing! From the exquisite decor and wonderful view to the mouth-watering food. I had their seven-course set meal here and every course was fantastic. But I'd have to say they really did save the best for last -- the dessert was five different, absolutely tasty desserts decorated on one plate. This place was definitely really expensive but worth every penny! Make sure you make reservations beforehand and request a seat by the window -- you don't want to miss this spectacular view of the city.

Jen took me here for my birthday. Everest sits atop the 40th floor of the Chicago Stock exchange at the corner of the South-west loop, and the Chicago sky-line views are beautiful. Not to be outmatched, the food was perfectly amazing. When the first course arrived I was worried that the small portions would be inadequate for a full meal. By course #12 though, I was perfectly stuffed. The waiter was attentive, and kind. Not too snobby or pushy. My only complaint is that he did not adequately explain the prix-fix menu. From ignorance we ordered a "special" desert, which was $25 extra. But it turned out that the prix-fix dessert was tastier than the "special" souffl. That aside, given the opportunity I'd go back in a heart-beat.
As as aside, join LEYE before you go, because you'll definitely spend enough to earn a certificate when you're done.

I had a dinner meeting at Everest on day. The view was absolutely spectacular and breath-taking! The food and wine were delicious. It is a well-hidden establishment. Parking was done through close-circuit security. It was kind of hard to locate parking as there were no signs, so you had better know where you were going. I really enjoyed Everest!
