You want a special dining experience like nothing you have done before. Cafe Fantastica is your destination. It is located in an ancient building and is accessible only by limosine with previous reservation plans of course, and with the bill paid in advance. A chauffeur picks up you and your date. You arrive and are escorted to a large, ancient metal door with a huge lock. The driver silently opens it and beckons you inside. The great door clangs shut. Inside you are in a garden entrance all fragrant with herb and floral scents of the greenery draping the high walls, gently lit. A butler appears and leads you both, into a sophisticated spa-like reception space where you are escorted separately to quarters with uniformed attendants. They dress and make each of you up in the style you applied for when you reserved. Your hair is styled and you chose your prefumes or lotion. No one speaks but gentle music of your choice, surrounds you while you are slowly made more beautiful. Later, when you see your partner, you gasp. You are reflected in the surrounding mirrors that show people who seem of extreme wealth. Your butler appears and escorts you to your table that is in a small room decorated the way that you asked for. Your table is set how you like it, with the finest elegant cutlery, china and fragrant floral arrangement you have seen only in magazines showing celebrity. Candles, of course. On the wall, is a frame that you both face while seated, lolling in the most comfortable upholstery you have ever known. The curtain across the frame parts and there appears your designated famous chef, speaking to you using your names and making remarks about you according to what you revealed about your love of the dining world, one you have seen only on television. AI brought you here to the screen. The table decor is real but not removeable because you are here to enjoy the sensations of the world's most rare recipes being made just for you by the world's most famous chefs all, a fantasy. The chef seems to know you as a friend. You smell the truffles and breathe in the scent of fresh seafoods and elaborate desserts all the while being addressed by the chef as she or he prepares your dishes. You don't need to taste the food as you sip your mineral waters in glasses of the finest crystal. They are real and ones you will take home as souvenirs, after your sensational dinner. Eating would seem an offence as your eyes dine and you watch and banter with the chef who has become your personal friend. You, your partner and the chef laugh together. You barely recall that you told Fantastica what you like and don't, your family notes, your loves, opinions and experiences and AI put it all together for this, just for you. You are enveloped in the experience personally and entirely, and as you and your partner smile and laugh and sip from your glass or mug, the drinking vessel you said was your favorite, in a style you love. You find this the most exquisite experience you have ever had at table. On the way back to where you began sans the lovely costumery, you and your partner have much to speak of when you exit the limo from your Fantastica Cafe adventure, its floral bouquet from the table scenting your arms.
