We went for dinner (4 some) and ordered the tasting menu. The venue is unique and oddly welcoming and non-pretentious. The menu is dominated by Japanese influece with a few twists - I wouldn't excactly call it fusion - but there are some influences.
The oyster starter was underwhelming and over-priced for the impact it left. The tasting menu started with a beat (3 way) salad - nothing really unique - fairly predictable flavors - nice miso/sesame dressing. The soup was very simple and underwhelming - lacked sophistication and depth of flavor (essentially a shitake wood mushroom broth). The sushi/sashimi plate was beautiful looking, it came with some random oils on the side (the server didn't seem to know what they were and they were not substantial enough to really identify). The plate was tasty, not the best quality salmon - the tuna was great. Again, nothing really unique other than the presentation. The main was a long plate with plain rice in the middle (really?) and not interesting or tasty. To one end a black cod with a beat sauce (beats again?) which was truly lovely! Incredible in fact. The beef on hte other end (came rare which is odd) underwhelming - not enough seasoning - the sauce tasted pretty much like a teriyaki with some roast veg. The plate didn't flow at all - but the cod - delicious! There was a palatte cleanser - citrus and avocado drink - it was too big and although refreshing a little odd to be honest - the meal just didn't flow and in the end I think it was a little overpriced.
I would try the restaurant again, ordering off the menu. Some of the rolls I saw go by looked pretty tempting. I HOPE this place does well - just love the vibe. The staff is very friendly - but perhaps a little restraint would be good (both the manager and the self proclaimed 'founder') came and introduced themselves to us - nice...ish - not quite sure about it yet.
Try it for sure - would recommend you order off the menu and enjoy the art and vibe.
