| - I kinda wanted to come to this place a bit ago, but all the reviews on the price being high kinda pushed me away. But, just like Misti, I bought a Yelp Deal that takes the sting out of the prices.
The place is nice, and the service was good. Our waiter was really cool about letting us know what everything was, what it should taste like, comparing it to other things... all that good stuff. He was a good dude.
The rub of it is that though the service was top notch, I'm not sure the food was. See, I went there based on Misti's enthusiastic review of the eel. Let me tell you: the eel was really, REALLY good. I would go back there JUST based on the eel (if I had another Yelp deal). It costs something like $21, which is kinda steep.
We also ordered the pork belly, which was around $25, and also pretty good. The portions, however, were not so generous. You get three slabs of it, which is probably good for two not-that-hungry people.
I would return to this place with another Yelp deal. Without it, I'm not sure I could happily pay $56 + tip for the amount of food that I got. I didn't walk out uber stuffed like I sometimes do, but I wasn't mad about it, either.
