Kouzzina Chef's Menu @ Coranation comparisons

[marshwiggle]

I guess this is still a bit of an unknown because I haven't been able to find many reviews - only a couple of positive marks here and a more mixed one on allears.

I'm trying to gauge relative value so has anyone tried this and is able to compare with some of the other tasting menu options?

For example, is Kouzzina Chef's at least 2/3 as enjoyable as FF chef's counter? Or how would it compare (in terms of the total experience) against V&A or bluezoo's prix fixe?

Anyone had feedback yet? The Chef's table at CoraNation is available the night I am looking at but I was hoping to find some reviews first!

1) You misunderstand the "CoraNation" Room.
2) This is just a long table in a room off the dining room.
. . . it is served in a separate private "catering" room
. . . it is on the far side of the restaurant
. . . it is NOT connected to the kitchen
. . . it does not have a view of the kitchen
. . . it is a five-course plated meal from the chef's different menu
. . . it does not have samplings from the kitchen
. . . it is not a "tasting" experience
. . . it is just menu food

is it worth it or is the experience of the main dining room & regular menu just as good or better?

1) The menu is different, with Cora's plated selections.
2) I do not think it is worth it - overpriced for quality and variety.
3) But, that is my opinion.
