| - Went for dinner with girlfriends last night. We made an 8:30 reservation and got there about 15 minutes early, seated right away. Great service and free coat check. The building is an old bank, and as you peer inside, the decor is inviting. It's got a trendy lounge feel, with good music. As it gets later in the evening, the music also evolves with its transition into a lounge. Washrooms are a bit confusing because they are individual stalls and remind of the ones on the airplane. The sinks are just like..."what?" Hard to explain, but you'll see what I mean.
There are lots of rolls to try, but some of the names are fancier than what they are. The blue snow roll was really just a rainbow roll and the argula beet roll is a vegetarian roll with some fancy dipping sauce. The spicy tuna with rock shrimp was delicious. Loved the wasabi sweet potato chips, maguro carpaccio and the ebi roll. The ebi roll was suggested by everyone - it's expensive, but worth trying once. It's actually quite big for a hand roll. Had green tea ice cream for dessert, with lots of berries included. I'm not much of a drinker, so I can't comment on the cocktails, other than...they looked expensive.
We left by 11ish, since we aren't into the bar scene, but easy to see who was there for food and who was there for...picking up.
I'm a bit conflicted for how to rate. The food is good, although the pricing is confusing, because some things are reasonable and some are overpriced. I was focusing on the food and not so much the loungy aspect of the place. Good for night out on the town.
