Warmth genuine heart-felt hospitality doesn't live here. And despite the extraordinary accomplishments of the chef and his amazing cuisine, the food doesn't feel like love, like it's from the heart. Everyone who has the opportunity to dine at Charlie Trotter's should, especially if you're on the boss' dime. But if you're spending your own money here and you've never eaten at Arun's or Everest , spend your money there first. The kitchen table sells out months in advance.
Dinner takes about four hours.
