He seems not at all humble (well I guess he earned the right to be arrogant), and VERY expensive.
Yes Gaggan Anand the new restaurant. A private table, a chef's table/bar, and a main dining room, all in the same building though just on different floors. We dined at the chef's bar (G's spot). He stated that it's not a first come first serve reservation system, and you have to give him the "right answers" to get a spot. I suppose he can do whatever he wants it's his restaurant. All the fame has definitely got to him, that was painfully obvious when he talked about how he could've charged 10% more and we all would still be there.

TLDR: Dinner and a show -- loud rock music, lots of crass jokes, and semi-decent interesting food. I personally thought the desserts were the stand-outs of the entire meal.
