I have to give this restaurant a 5 for a few reasons.
1) How brave! They are nestled on a side street of a not so friendly neighborhood but thrive. There has always been a police officer there on the weekends and select weekdays when I go.
2) Kitchen masters. Sit at the bar and watch the chef's/cook's at work towards the end of the bar. I understand that there is another kitchen doing most of the prep but there is still 90%+ of all cooking done in this area during dinner and do they fly the food out.
3) Wine assortment and beer options. They even do dinner matching with each during all months throughout the year. How fun.
4) Food. This is where they exceed given the other options within a 5 mile radius (exception of Bistro 185). I suggest the mussels, fondue, or tuna as a sharing app, or even a salad. I always go for the special based on food service knowledge that it tends to be whats freshest. Don't be afraid to ask though, they will be happy to match your dinner entree to your taste buds.
Con - I am not particularly a fan of the Yacatori (spelling?) but they sell A LOT of it so I'll leave that review up to you.
Just go, have fun, sit at a high top in the bar, and just order away. BIG PLUS is to check www.restaurant.com, they just joined. I bought 4 the first day and have used 2 already.
