| - The food is spectacular. Presentation, quality, taste, and temperature... Practically perfect. Our main gripe? Service. The servers for the other tables seemed good though. It was just ours.
The place wasn't busy for an early Saturday evening. We had reservations for 6:30, but didn't need them. There were only a couple other parties seated when we entered. We were greeted and seated promptly and our server introduced herself.
She mentioned cocktail hour, so we ordered a whiskey sour. It only had a splash of whiskey. Turns out, it was NOT cocktail hour. Knowing this, I got the Blissful Sakura anyway because it sounded good. It was tasty, but only had a hint of sake. I'm a light weight and don't like the taste of alcohol... And I liked the drinks. They don't put much alcohol in them.
My selection of oysters arrived and they were delicious. Crisp and sweet.
We then waited 30 minutes for our entrees. Our server had forgotten our shared appetizer. That's a really long wait, especially when there aren't very many parties seated.
At this point, I discovered that they had specials. I heard about them from the server at the table behind us and they sounded great, but too late. I do wish our server had told us about them.
When our dinners arrived, we were both pleasantly surprised and impressed. The server for the table behind us had been explaining each dish while ours didn't, so I asked him about one of the sashimi selections on my plate because it was just so good. So much so that I ended up ordering another one of those a la carte. (Something something yellowtail, not the regular yellowtail, although I'm sure that's good, too. It's translucent white with pink edges. Very, VERY good.)
We opted to skip dessert and when the check came, it was incorrect.
We wanted to like the place. The food is worth coming for. We just got unlucky with the service.
