This is my 2nd review of this fabulous restaurant! I'll admit that going out to dinner on Valentine's Day fills me with angst. Restaurants are overcrowded, service isn't up to par and the food is normally not as good as it usually is. So, as much as we loved Roka Akor the last time, I was scared to tarnish that memory.
I can joyfully say that it was a fabulous night and the food and service did not disappoint! We had the fixed price 7 course dinner and every single bite was FABULOUS! ! I could rave on and on about all of it, but our absolute favorite was the A5-9+ Japanese Wagyu Striploin. We ordered it med - rare and it melted in our mouthes! It was served with the Japanese Wild Mushroom Hotpot w/ Fresh Truffle - sooooo delicious! The Chilean Sea Bass with Yozu Truffle Butter & Salmon Roe was piping hot and cooked to perfection. Hard to do in large quantities. The Grilled Asparagus w/ Wafu Dressing & Sesame was also just right. I hate soggy or overcooked veggies, but these were perfect - tender, yet crisp.
It was especially nice to see our server working so hard at keeping everyone happy. He could have easily been flustered by the enormous crowd, but he was so attentive, even having time to joke around a bit while doing a phenomenal job! Kudos to the chef, kitchen staff, wait staff and management for giving us the best meal we've ever had on Valentine's Day!
