It was 7 different courses. We went on our own about two months ago and it was by far the most I've ever spent at a restaurant and the quality of the entire experience was so far above anything I've ever experienced, I paid and didn't even care. Got invited to go again, was hesitant to pay that much again but the other couple at the end ended up taking the check.
It had four other tables I could see (outside) and the experience starts the second you walk in with mindblowing cocktails. Different cocktail or wine pairings with each course. Small portions but the way they do it, you're completely satisfied at the end.
Wealthy people can do things routinely that most of us only experienced a few times.
Edit: and yes, we got to meet the chef. He had been at a sister resort in Bulgaria for years and was very happy to now be here in a very different climate.
