The movie is good, well acted by both lead actors. The story flows well, and the setting is great.
The problem is that the story never delivers on it's actual message.
The chef said there will be a difference between the staff and guests, and in the end there was none. The dialogue all builds up to this great collapse of the devide, which is The Menu's great outcome, yet it did not deliver any difference between working class and the rich. Both groups died seemingly willingly and in the exact same way.
The story just fizzled in the end with no lesson or feeling of guilt or vindication.
The back story of the chef is so shallow, and the reveal behind the silver door is a let down.
The more I write and think about it the less I like the movie actually.
