I can honestly say I was a little concerned when walking down the creepy stairway to this restaurant. The words "where are you taking us...?" were uttered more than once by my dinner companions. However, I had faith! From the raving reviews from my fellow yelper friends, I was convinced this place was going to be great! Correct on all accounts.
There was a wait of course, given the size of this establishment, but the wonderful hostess took down my name and phone number so we could go have a drink down the street while we waited. We ended up sitting at the sushi bar and it was quite a different experience. They gave us a warm towel to wipe our hands with when we sat down. It was obviously very funny to my friends at first but now, I expect a towel at the beginning of all my meals! I don't think my boyfriend approves of this time consuming activity before our dinners at home....anyway.... The food was fabulous and our waiter was very patient with us explaining what everything on the menu was. The whole party enjoyed their food and I can say without hesitation that Ginko made it on our top sushi list!
