I've heard great things about this restaurant and decided to try it out for Winterlicious 2018, but I definitely was not impressed. I had far greater expectations for this place, but my experience here may solely be due to its affiliation with the Winterlicious marketing.
To begin, I ordered the Yo-Ki-Hi cocktail: This was a light but sweet lychee flavoured cocktail infused with sake. It was delicious but more ice than anything.
Winterlicious menu:
I started off with the tuna and avocado tartare and this was by far my favourite dish of the night! The tuna was very light and fresh and paired really nicely with the avocado. I ordered the sushi platter as the main course, and nothing really blew me away. You couldn't really tell how fresh and flavourful the fish was as it was sliced so thinly with a layer of wasabi placed between the fish and the rice. For dessert, I had the opportunity to try both the sake cheesecake and green tea tiramisu. While the tiramisu had a strong green tea flavour and a bit too creamy, the cheesecake was very light and nicely infused with sake.
In the end, the presentation and service of Yuzu was well worth the $$$ price tag, but the food seemed just short of that, but maybe it's just the winterlicious menu talking...
