| - I don't get it! We went there tonite and having read so many reviews, we were excited and then we were disappointed. Nothing I would say was outstanding. We started with a special that was calamari fritters and the Calamari should have been chopped because they were incredibly tough. We then had another small plate with eggplant, bacon and can't remember what else...OK... but not something we would rave about. Then we moved on to the warm duck salad. It was bland, with the exception of the duck. The duck breast did have a nice flavor, but that didn't compensate for the lack of flavor of the grilled lettuce leaves. It had interesting ingredients, but didn't feel they melded together. The white fish with the variety of mushrooms was the best thing we had. The mushrooms were outstanding. We did have the clams with bok choy or cabbage and bacon. I thought it was good, but my husband ate just one clam and it was not as fresh as we anticipated, so I had the remaining clams and thought they were o.k. All in all, we have eaten at other Japanese restaurants, and for us, this was not a stand out and the likelihood that we would return for a second chance seem improbable. Sorry!
By the way, the servers were very good at explaining everything and brought our dishes out timely, not rushing us, but not taking forever, either. Service I would give a 5 star, but we would have expected 5 star in the food category!
