Bu'ul, México en Solidaridad

I want to start by saying, I'm somebody who spends a lot of time and money on quality dining. I have no problem shelling out serious cash when dining. However, I don't like feeling fleeced by a dining experience and that's how I felt leaving Bu'ul. The food while beautifully presented, was somewhat bland and forgettable, with price tags that were quite memorable in all the wrong ways. The wine list was extensive, but astronomically priced. I understand wine in Mexico isn't a great value - but charging nearly US$120 for an $8 Sauvignon Blanc from NZ is a crime in any country. Meanwhile, I kept feeling like the wait staff was trying to upsell. We left Bu'ul feeling underwhelmed and very annoyed with ourselves for choosing this restaurant. (The only saving grace are the cocktails and views from the bar on the second floor.)
