Maybe it was the fact that I ate the bento lunch special (which was a salmon steak instead of a filet), but I was not impressed. I admit that the ambience is superb with the long bench along one wall and spices kept in bamboo boxes suspended behind the chefs, but the service was awful.
First, after tipping over the tea because of the unstable table, the waitress didn't bring new napkins until asked. Then, they never cleared our miso bowls and instead kept piling food on the table until there was no more room...Mind you the table was less than 2 feet wide. What really turned me off is that we needed to ask for water. Maybe they were having an off day.
