We just got home and had T H E best Nakama dinner yet. We've been going to Nakama for years and have never had the amazing experience that we did tonight.
The shining star was our chef, Tom. Right from the start - great eye contact and great communication with our table - my husband and me, and a couple with a 7 yr old - a very engaging young lady. Tom didn't miss a beat and truly made her experience (and ours) special. He made sure to ask if anyone was allergic to anything, .... handed her the tools and challenged her to do cook, he made the rice into a heart, the veggies into a 'U' and the 3 pieces of chicken in the fist column stacked to make an 'I'.
The 'I' 'Love''U' was a first for us and Tom seemed so pleased. And so were we. He showed he was having a good time and it was contagious. The food was amazing - - Bob's Delight and I had the shrimp/scallops/tuna. My husband agreed that our meals were the best yet at Nakama-in both flavor and the correct temperature.
We'll be back in two weeks and will ask for Tom. Hope he's working then too!
