I've been to Makino's more than a few times but it had been awhile and I was in the area so I thought why not? I have to say this was definetly the best spread they've put out in all the times I have gone. The sushi selection seemed larger with more kinds of rolls and it all seemed a lot fresher than previous visits while the hot food also seemed to be fresher and of a higher quiality with more time spent on presentation.
Deserts continued to impress... I don't know if they are rotating the food out better or if it's just higher quality product but all of the cakes and puddings were moist and for the first time the cream puff's weren't rock hard and actually contained a ton of what tasted like fresh cream instead of just mostly air like on previous visits.
*Only downside on this otherwise amazing visit wasn't really the restaurants fault but the rather large woman sitting at the table next to me saw some people she knew and proceeded to stand up and invite them over. Now there isn't a lot of space between the tables already and between the people she invited over and her fatness they actuallly started to lean against my table and she even stepped back into my chair with enough force to lift two of the legs with me in it more than once and didn't even offer an apology.*
Other than that I really hope Makino continues to perform at the level they were on today!
