| - Honestly, this place deserves a 5 Stars for service. As for the food, it's good with a few hits and misses.
Appetizer:
Snack Platter - $-8: 2 Oysters and Fish Foie Gras - not too bad, presentation was beautiful.
Salad - $7: overpriced for a few cucumber slices and lettuce on the bottom - maybe if they used spring mixed greens or arugula, it would have been worth the price).
Main:
Sashima Platter $50 + $15 (Lobster & Miso Soup): The Sashimi platter was beautifully decorated. It was fresh and good, but just a tad bit overpriced for the selections. Decided to add the lobster sashimi in there. I am so glad I did because or else, I never knew that raw lobster tasted soooo good. Nice miso soup with a cooked lobster claw to complete the meal. Of course, for what we are paying, I just wished that someone would shuck the lobster claw "meat" out and lay it nicely in the soup. (Made a suggestion to the chef for that because we really didn't have any tools to eat the claw).
We also ordered the Sushi aburi - $27 - blowtorched sushi. Very good and beautifully done! I think this dish really says their name as a "bistro" type of sushi restaurant. Loved their "block" style rice sushi.
Dessert:
Complimentary (made in house) - Ginger truffles. Yum!
If you wanted to me to sum up my dinner experience here, it would be: two-thumbs up for the fish foie gras (my fav! and I don't even like foie gras: chicken or duck, but the fish version was gooooood.) and the complimentary truffles were a nice touch; instead of the "ice cream" they normally serve at the other sushi restaurants. Decor was cozy and our waitress was amazing - phenomenal service! Even though it is overpriced, I don't mind splurging for good service and good food.
