We came here for dinner on Saturday night at around 6:30pm, so no waiting in line. The waitress lead us upstairs for a table of two at the corner. The interior design and ambiance was very nice. A little too dark, that we couldn't see our food clearly. May be because we sat in the corner.
As soon as we sat down, a waiter came and asked us if we would like some water. We said yes and he asked "sparkling or plain?" And I said sparkling. At the end when we got the bill, $7.50 was charged for that bottle of water. I was not happy about that service as he didn't mention sparkling water is not free. As a high-end restaurant like this, this is not a good customer service. So I took out one star for the service.
We ordered two Social House rolls: shrimp, spicy tuna battera $20 for 6 pcs; and hamachi, chilies cilantro, garlic chips with citrus soy sauce $12 for 6 pcs. Both rolls were just ok, just a decent Japanese roll. For hot dishes, we ordered pan peared sea scallop, nasu miso, curry emulsion $26 for 6 pcs, citrus peel miso cod $22, and searing tuna with Social House ginger dressing $24. All of them were yummy, but the portions were small.
We also ordered a small bottle of cold sake called "Rihaku Wandering Poet" $38, which was the best sake I've ever had so far! Finally, we ordered crispy ice cream $10 for dessert. We substituted with coffee ice cream. The ice cream was wrapped with crunchy sweet corns and taro sweet paste served on the side. Delicious!
It is a fusion Japanese restaurant, so don't come here for authentic Japanese food. Also I think their hot dishes are much better than the sushi rolls. Unfortunately, I think the food is a bit overpriced. Otherwise, it worth going there again.
