| - I was attracted to this restaurant by the sheer number of good Yelp reviews. Many of them are well written, very informative and guide the reader to exactly what to expect. We went with a party of 4 and a little one, with an advanced reservation on a Saturday evening. We were 20 mins late (Parking is extremely difficult in this area) the hostess was very courteous and re-booked us for another table which became free 15 mins later. New comers with no reservation were told to expect between 1 hour to 1 hour and a half wait. Those who agreed could wander around and receive text when the table is free, and they had to get back to the restaurant within a short delay.
Based on some Yelpers' recommendation, we chose the combo for 4. Our waiter, Matthew took the time to go over the menu, in French, and explained very well our different food options. He was great from start to finish. Every restaurant should have a Matthew. The food on the menu was as good as was reviewed, and beyond. For the entree, the tuna tataki salad (flash seared ahi tuna with a zingy dressing) and the chicken Karaage (bite size chicken pieces, marinated in sake, amongst other ingredients - perfectly seasoned and deep fried, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside) were out of this world. For the main course, the meat were well marinated, and even though I have a tendency to go for meat, rather than vegetables, I find that the set menu was well balanced with their meat - vegetable ratio. Meat quality is top notch.
Happy to see that this restaurant takes Amex.
Would definitely go there again.
