| - I've been here 3 times now - once to celebrate my SO's first residential purchase in the valley, once for a networking event, and most recently for their $1 oyster Thursdays. The first time was highly disappointing - I remember feeling robbed, and wishing we had gone to Roka Akor instead. Also, I did not appreciate one of the servers "teaching" us about why we shouldn't ask for soy sauce for sashimi we had ordered. Maybe the chef had advised the waitstaff to share that it had already been lightly brushed or whatever, but the message was lost in her air of pretension/didactic delivery. The networking event was...like any other networking event. My most recent visit, however, was amazing. We sat at the bar, and thoroughly enjoyed everything, especially the Kusshi oysters. I had qualms about eating oysters during a non "R" month, but they were plenty fresh. We spent a little more than we had anticipated despite the HH menu being priced very modestly (close to $100 for 2, I think?), but we'll definitely be going back for the HH. It will probably take a while before we go back for a full dining experience again, though. Oh, and the bartender was awesome. He managed his bar like nobody's business, even when it was clearly slammed. As someone who's worked at a high-end restaurant before, I was thoroughly impressed. Kudos.
