| - I love Kumi! I was invited to dinner with a group of friends on opening night. I knew that this was one of Chef Akira's new venues, so I will admit that I was already expecting greatness!
When we arrived we waited at the bar for about 10 minutes. It was opening night, so I was impressed that the restaurant didn't seem chaotic, although the main dining area was completely sat (after they sat us) and the bar was very busy.
One thing that I observed is that the bartenders were spending a lot of time perfecting the look of the drinks. I don't drink alcohol so I can't say whether or not they also perfected the taste, but the drinks they were serving over the bar were very elegant and beautiful!
When they were ready to seat us, they gave us the table in middle of the main dining area, near the DJ booth and in front of the sushi bar. I was very impressed by the space, the decor, the atmosphere. Everything felt classy, yet comfortable and chic....I LOVE restaurants that really pay attention to the detail of the energy in the room.
The DJ was great, although I will admit that I have no idea who was spinning. I was with amazing company and they were extremely entertaining the entire night. I remember enjoying the music though and noticing how it was setting the perfect tone for the members of the room.
Chef provided us a tasting of several of his pride dishes. We had about 15 different dishes, and I was a fan of all except one. I did not really care for the pork chops, but maybe it was because it was the least unique of the other dishes that were brought out.
Meal highlights: Lamb Chops, Octopussy, Sizzling Steak Plate (my absolute favorite item of the night), and the sashimi platter.
It was obvious that the staff was in training as I saw a few bussers fill our glasses with pitcher water when we had bottled water sitting right on the table. However, little things like that don't bother me or ruin my experience, especially when everything else was so flawless!
One complaint from the table, as I don't drink alcohol, was that the large tropical looking fishbowls were super sweet which made it difficult to drink. They ended up just eating the fruit out of the bowl and leaving the big bowl of alcohol.
I will definitely be back, hopefully very soon. I am dying for another round of that sizzling steak!
Bravo Kumi, I am excited to recommend your restaurant to my clients, friends and family.
