First things first is that you have to know that this restaurant is set up to be something on the higher end. With their beautiful decor and design, to the set up and pricing on the menu, you will want to come here for a special occasion, rather than just another night out for dinner. When I say beautiful decor and design, I actually mean stunning. Each section of the restaurant was well thought out and planned, from the walls to the table tops.
The menu did scare me a little with their pricing rather high, but when the food arrived, it was a little more justifiable. Everything was plated gorgeously and it all tasted phenomenal. My friend and I decided to go for the Toshi Course and add in a Kamoyaki as well. The overall course had a nice transition from plate to plate, and each one was distinct in its flavor palate. From the sashimi and foie gras/uni starters, to the perfectly grilled cod, everything was made with delicate detail and perfection. Honestly some of the best grilled cod I have ever had! It was literally so soft that it felt like it was melting in my mouth!
The beauty of the Toshi Course was that it consisted of the chef's choice of fish and seafood that was fresh and in season. That means that it would be different each time you go, and would give you something to look forward to.
With this specific course at $85 before tax, there was quite a high expectation on the meal and overall experience. The food was amazing to eat, but there wasn't quite enough food to share with more than one other person. I believe that it is actually set-up for one person, which would make it quite a hefty price for in my opinion.
The part of the experience that was rather lacking would be the service, unfortunately. For a higher end restaurant, there is a bar of expectation that I would have wanted to be met. Although the servers were extremely friendly and nice to the bone, the overall service itself was slow. Now, I understand that 'nicer' restaurants want you to enjoy the food and experience, but this was something different. They took a little too long to come take our order, get us more tea, and had to be asked multiple times to get something for us. Wasn't as bad as they were very nice, but I kind of expect more attention when I'm paying a certain price for the food/service.
With all that being said, great food is something I am willing to spend money on from time to time, so I can see myself coming back in the future. Most likely for a more specific occasion, but it may be worth it for that.
