I tried a $189, 10-course meal at the eclectic San Francisco restaurant that makes ice cream from milk mixed with hot coals and morphs trout into 'everything bagels'

Avery's Everything Trout features grilled trout topped with roe, or fish eggs, and the seasoning you would find on an Everything Bagel.

San Francisco has no shortage of restaurants, fine dining or otherwise, with menus boasting crazy high prices. $4

The city's newly-opened $4 restaurant isn't any different in that sense. The prix-fixe East Asian-infused eatery takes reservations through $4, the high-dollar restaurant equivalent of OpenTable that allows guests to reserve and pay for meals beforehand. No post-meal payment needed.

The restaurant is currently offering three menus: Cello Player, a smaller course plan for $89 a person, Avery's Room, a reservation for six to eight people featuring a special menu from the kitchen, and the seafood-themed Bouquet of the Sea for $189 a pop.

I took a gander at the latter during a recent visit to Avery and concluded that when it comes to eating in this city, you get what you pay for - which in this case is 10 meticulously-crafted, delicious dishes for $189 a person.

Here's what it was like.
