| - I had such high expectations from all the five star reviews, but I left disappointed. We had a reservation for Friday night at 10 pm, but we didn't need one. There are only 7 tables, so the place is very intimate.
PROS: The service was excellent. Very friendly. We had some plum sake that was rather expensive ($16 for a very small glass) but was very good.
CONS: This place is very expensive, so don't come here starving. Don't be fooled by the small price tags. The portions are equally small. For instance, the $3 asparagus wrapped in bacon was the equivalent of maybe one whole asparagus spear. And the $7 scallop was one scallop.
The food was all good. But nothing was amazing, and nothing that I can rave about. The flavor was good but nothing that was unique. We had:
Agedashi tofu: Just ok. We didn't finish it.
Grilled snapper. Very very expensive ($28) for very little fish, and while it was cooked well, it was grilled fish, with no sauce or any special seasoning to make it stand out. Just plain grilled fish. Rather boring.
Enoki mushrooms wrapped in bacon. My favorite dish, it was very good.
Pork cheek: my other favorite dish. Very tender and. flavorful.
Chicken wrapped in chicken skin. Good, but just tasted like regular grilled chicken you cook at home. No special seasoning. .. Nothing special.
Scallop in soy sauce. Good, but boring. .. for 7 bucks a scallop I expected wow.
And a few more dishes that were again good, but plain and nothing special.
I won't be back. If the prices were better, I would, but for what they charge I expect to be wowed and I unfortunately wasnt.
