our hotel was right around the block, and we wanted to go out for Japanese. Wow was this a surprise. We are huge sushi fans, and like our sashimi very much. The cut of the fish was superb, the quality superb, the food overall SUPERB! I know this is a bit of a shock to say, but this meal was one of the best sushi dinners we have ever had. It is right up there with some of the best of NYC. The building itself is hard to miss. At night, look for the eave that has a japanese flair to it. The restaurant itself is a bit nested in under a building. We were very lucky to be seated, because almost every table had a reserved sign on it. We got the last free table! So reservations are highly recommended. The atmosphere inside is a bistro style, so don't expect fancy decor or expedited service. The service was a bit slow, but for food of this caliber I'm willing to wait!!! We were extremely impressed. We wanted to go again before we left Montreal but didn't have time, but we're actually considering a second trip to Montreal so we can go again! (it was THAT good).
