  • Seasaw is not for everyone, but I think it's a MUST for foodies. I say that's it not for everyone because of the complexity and oddity of a lot of the food - each bite is flavor bonanza, and often an extremely bizarre combination (raw salmon with almond, pecorino, mint, balsamic etc) but it always seems to work. I didn't love everything, there were some ingredients I just don't like (curry, parsley whatever), but everything is exquisitely conceived, prepared and presented. This is the art of food - no question about it. I highly recommend sitting at the bar - watching the work of these chefs is fine entertainment. The minutia is incredible - literally and figuratively - it must be witnessed up close. And then there is the wine list - OMG. I have never seen anything like it - not anything close, and I've seen more than a few lists/cellars. Hundreds of pages spanning all varietals, regions, makers, and prices (from $22 to $2200). There are thousands of wines offered below $100, and I'm sure hundreds offered above $1000. I will say that the layout of the list is odd and extremely daunting - there seems to be almost no organization - certainly not by grape. In some cases it seems to go by price, but on other pages it is sorted by maker. We had sake because that's what we wanted with our fish - if we had wanted wine, rather than just an incredible read, it might have been a wee bit frustrating since it seemed impossible to know where to look for any given type. But it is an incredible collection - shockingly so - unlike anything I have ever seen. The only negative was one of the servers - she was oddly clueless - everyone else was impeccable, but she didn't really seem to get it (didn't even tell us there was a tasting menu, we had to ask about it, she took silverware and didn't bring any to replace it, got an order wrong, didn't notice empty water glasses etc). But the other folks there were awesome, and there were enough of them that the service didn't suffer much at all. And I wasn't thrilled with the cheap wooden chopsticks - they changed the flavors of the subtle foods a little bit, so I used the silverware - seemed a weird oversight for a restaurant that seems so focused on flavor precision, but no biggie. Sea Saw will be a MUST visit for me every time I'm in the PHX area.
