This is a Japanese tapas oyster bar. It sounds great in concept but the execution is flawed. Having recently opened, a restaurant is given a little lee-way in terms of service quality and speed. However from my visit to this location, this place needs a lot of work before it is considered acceptable. Before I start on the service and food let me warn you they have barely finished building this place, the washrooms are barely in working order and it is visibly unfinished. The business cards and menu have handwritten adjustments etc. Furthermore they were sold out of many items halfway through their dinner service.
Me and my date arrived at 8pm, were seated promptly but then saw no staff until 15 minutes later. This trend continued throughout the night and we waited for 1.5 hours before receiving any food, and this only after complaining that the food we had ordered was in fact raw (sashimi) so this could not be a realistic wait time. The poor service and wait times continued until we decided to leave after tables that arrived after us began receiving copious amounts of food. The two dishes we did receive (salmon sashimi and beef tataki) were of good quality, but the small portions and the wait negated any positive effect. I sincerely wanted to like this place but it seems they are in dire need of a floor manager and competent kitchen staff. Also this is not a cheap restaurant, the service should be on par with the price point. Best of luck Japas, if you manage to last the winter I will return.
