OK - so the theme of this review is essentially that the quality of a dining out experience has to do with more than just food, to which i actually give a 7.75/10, but:
- style and decor: 7.5/10
- ambiance and vibe: 2/10
- cleanliness & presentation: 5/10
- service & timing: 8/10
- company (as in the people you're with companions) and conversation: 10/10 :)
i may be biased because i'm just not a huge fan of yonge/eg ... and i'm coming off of comparing this to the 3 wicked/amazing/beautiful experiences at the hapa izakaya's in Vancouver during a month long epic western Canadiana piece of history making adventure i'll rave about to grandchildren one day.
anywhoo ... i'll try to find some time to get lit on sake for a few hours while waiting for a seat at Guu in the near future for the izakomparisonz.
