I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. From the moment I walked through the doors I fell in love. The ambiance is upscale without an upscale menu price and the food is like something I've never experienced before.
My husband and I sat up at the bar which was the place to be. We were able to watch the chef prep all of the meals, in addition to watching him scale and fillet a large fish right in front of our eyes. You can't get much fresher than that!
The meal was so perfectly executed, we started with a Amuse-bouche of some type of pickled Japanese radish that exploded with intense yet delicate flavours. Next up we had an oyster dish that was topped with a lemon sorbet of sort...which was by far the best oyster I've ever had, and that says a lot considering I lived on the East Coast of Canada for 3 years.
Following this, we had several pieces of fresh sushi --- all sourced directly from Japan.
We finished up the dinner portion with Wagyu beef and Uni . Shall I say more?
For dessert we had one dish of coconut milk sorbet and an oat ice-cream topped with local blueberries... words cannot describe how great this was. The ice cream is even made in house.
One really awesome thing about this place is that you are told to eat the sushi with your hands? Apparently Sushi was developed in Japan as finger food and is traditionally eaten with your hands. Also, all of the items that aren't shipped directly from Japan are locally sourced, + organic.
If you haven't already been here... you must go.
