| - Just to be clear, this is a review of the new 'tapas-style' Muramoto. Ok, with that out of the way....
The Space: Just like the old Muramoto that was there, its a great space and feels like a 'big city' restaurant. Dark, calm, cool, and the lighting is superb. Great date place and it just feels sexy.
The Food: I wanted to like it, I really did. We ordered a wide variety of small plates and not ONE of them was good. In fact, even they even managed to blow bacon-wrapped figs stuffed with blue cheese. Now thats not easy to screw up. The plates ranged from merely ok to bad (octopus 'balls' were like fried croquettes with elastic bands in the middle).
The Drinks: Drinks were good. Good pours, good selection and the Japanese booze was interesting.
The Price: Here's why Kushi Bar received an extra star. The place is cheap for what it is, especially the drinks.
So all in all, go for drinks, ambiance and to impress a date. Maybe even order a small plate or two but don't expect it to taste as gourmet as it sounds on the menu...
