I did it at Agua Dulce in NYC on my birthday last October.

It was awesome. I sat directly next to the Chef and we had a great conversation. In addition to the dishes we ordered, he gave us several complimentary appetizers and made me a creme brulee with a candle in it. :)

I have no idea how much it cost because I was there with my boyfriend and his PhD advisor and they took care of the bill. They seemed to think it was worth it, though. Wonderful experience.

I had the chef's table at Commanders about eight or nine years ago for my wifes birthday. It took me six months to get it and only thing available was a Thursday. It was a great experience and it was right at the end of Jamie Shannons run there. He left a month or so after because of his cancer.

We had a great time and if I remember it was about $150 or so then with wine. Four top booth in the kitchen and they fed us forever. He noticed my wife not eating some of the items so he asked her what she liked and started making different items for her. Private bar in the courtyard and we would get up and stand at the bar and have a glass of wine then sit back down and have more food and wine. Pastry chef brought the cart over and we tasted 18 different desserts. For some reason thats a number I remember but I bet we had close to that in courses.

They let you take your coat off because you are in the kitchen.

I've done the wine room at Emerils a couple times and it's very nice too but not the kitchen.
