I so wanted to give more stars. Let's start with the good. Wonderful tasting menu, well thought out. Wonderful disciplined flavors. A great value. The ambiance is very nice. It's a beautiful restaurant which really does give you a feeling of being in a Japanese restaurant versus a nondescript modern asian fusion place. That being said, this is clearly a young person's restaurant. The raucous ceremonies that seemed to be done every 2 minutes are deafening. Perhaps heavy velvet drapes might help.
