The food is 5 stars, but the service was a dud.
We ordered some of the signature dishes: Amberjack Crudo, Oysters, Tuna Tartare, Kim Chi Fried Rice and Chicken Wings. Everything was delicious. Every dish had a distinct and focused taste, texture and composition. The food is innovative and creative. The flavors are powerful, unique and on point. Ingredients are fresh and of high quality. I can't wait to try the other menu items. It's great to have access to such talent without having to head to the Strip.
Now the issue with service. The restaurant wasn't that busy. The service has to match the caliber of the food (i.e. SoHo Japanese) otherwise it's an annoyance. The oysters arrived in a timely manner, but things just dragged on and on from there. The service team doesn't seem to work as a cohesive unit, nor are they particularly excited (or versed) about the menu. You pretty much will only get the attention of your server and not anyone else. The disjointed service created a disruptive dining experience. I will try sitting at the bar next to see if that works better.
