| - We visited recently, and this was about our fifth visit, although we have not been for a few years. Was really disappointed. While it's never truly been "improv" cuisine and more of a rotating menu, this visit will probably be our last. We selected the Omakase, which should be chef selection of the best. Since you don't choose your dishes, isn't it always Omakase? Therefore, I expected this to be really something special. Instead of anything special, we basically just got a few more courses, and certainly nowhere near anything to justify the $175 pp price tag. For 7 courses, I believe it was $80, and then it jumps up to the Omakase for $175. That indicates to me that you will be "wowed" by the food. Even if we were to look at it as many more courses (some Chef's Tastings can certainly go up to 20 courses), we definitely did not have 14 courses each, which would justify the price somewhat. It was just a few days ago and it would take some thinking to remember each dish that was served - so that shows the impression it made.
I wouldn't really want 14+ courses, but I would have expected our dishes to be something special at the very least. The table of four next to us had exactly the same courses that were were served between the four of them, with each of them having the 6-course meal. As I mentioned, there was nothing "special" or even tailored about this meal. For example, you are asked to choose your meat and fish preferred temps. We both selected "raw." We each had two fish courses, both fully cooked, neither anything fantastic. They had uni on the list that night and it was the only protein we were not served. So basically, they list the proteins they have that night on the card. You select anything you don't like, but they definitely have set dishes they are making - not much "improv". Which is fine for the normal dining charge at Posh, but not the Omakase price.
For Omakase, it's just a few more courses at an extremely bumped up price. We did get a cheese plate - which is normally an extra $12 in addition to courses - but that was it, a tiny cheese plate. No foie, which is another "extra" you can select. For $175, I would have expected both of the extra plates. The dishes themselves were a mix of very good and meh. Nothing that was so incredible that I have to eat it again. There was even one fish dish that neither of us liked (we often had the same dish, which is unusual at Posh for two diners) and we barely ate it. The server did not even acknowledge it by asking if it was ok. It was close to $600 at the end for two Omakase dinners, three drinks each, and tip. I honestly felt ripped off when I left. I am really disappointed - this was one of my go-to's for a special evening out, and certainly not what I had hoped for as an anniversary dinner.
