| - went there on weds night, read a few reviews and decided to give it a try
....was actually empty around 930? hmmm...
went with the 8 course omakase, not a bad way to go if you want to sample a mix of their dishes.
they started us off with crispy brussel sprouts...YUM, not a huge fan of these, but the way they prepared them....excellent, can make a meal of those and beer alone!
I probably shouldn't have waited 2 weeks to post review, because I don't exactly remember all of the dishes....
we did enjoy the sake orenji...salmon with orange accents
I believe we had the crudo too...sea bass and also tuna tataki, which was great
all in all, their fish dishes were pretty much creative and tasty, with the exception of a Hamachi dish with an overpowering cilantro oil topping it. Kind of ruined a nice piece of fish in that all we could taste was the herb mix
we were also served "meat candy", a pork belly dish that I enjoyed, but my date though otherwise....oh well, MORE for ME!
for dessert, they brought us Mango cotta, which was good
we also opted to add a choco 10 ways, since we had heard positive things about it....would recommend you skip that one, overrated
in any case, we will definitely try this place again, but now having tried a sampling of their menu, would probably opt for a'la carte ordering
it seems that their sushi/sashimi creations are the star of the show, understandable being a Japanese restaurant....stick with those and you shouldn't go wrong....aside from the cilantro Hamachi dish!
