I've never had a meal that expensive. Most I've ever paid for a meal was about $150 a head (while on our honeymoon), and while it was good, and 'an experience', I wouldn't do it again.

I've also had plenty of expensive meals ($50/head or so) that weren't good, much less worth the money.
I'll answer having eaten there on a few occasions. Since it opened in 2004, prices keep going up and reservations keep getting harder to get.

If you set aside a few hours and do it proper, I think Stone Barn can be pretty spectacular. If Bill was there a few weeks ago, he probably was there for fall harvest.

If I had a choice, I'd go on a Sunday early afternoon and not rush.

I'd tell you the same thing for Per Se, Sunday afternoon, don't rush.
Much better than the evening. Because the people that are there at the time tend to be foodies as opposed to the T&E crowd.
