| - I had high expectations coming in and Kame did not disappoint. I'd gone to Yummy Sushi quite a few times before, but a foodie friend coming into town marked just the right occasion to finally try Kame. Kame only serves an Omakase menu. I understand the price varies -- on our night, it was $165 a person. There are two seatings per night. The restaurant is located through an unmarked entrance right beside Yummy Sushi, but you can also just go into Yummy and they'll take you to the right place.
We were 3 seafood lovers and one who was...not at all. And so it's a testament to Chef Eric and his team that ALL of us ate EVERYTHING put in front of us. On the night that we arrived we were the only diners, so it was a nice treat to sit at the bar to watch Chef Eric and his team prepare everything for what felt like a private affair.
In total, we had 20 items. I enjoyed every single morsel. We had everything ranging from Chilean Sea Bass to Hokkaido Hairy Crab to Kama Toro and Otoro to Waygu beef, Lobster and Uni. I learned that Kama Toro is an extremely rare cut of tuna - it's a cut of marbled tuna taken from the cheek. Even if restaurants WANTED to purchase that section it's not always available. What was really neat is that Chef Eric brought out the full slab of tuna cheek (that had just arrived earlier that day if I recall) so we can see what the full piece looked like and understand what we were eating. These little touches made the meal that much more enjoyable.
Every preparation was delicious and flavourful. I especially liked the subtle variations in sauces and seasonings placed on the nigiri. I'm not usually a fan of mackerel and yet I devoured my piece of spanish mackerel topped with roasted sesame. At the end of the meal, we were presented with a pineapple sorbet and a bowl of lemon water to rinse our fingers with. An awesome dining experience overall! Can't wait to take other friends.
If there was one thing that bothered my friends (but not me as much), it's that for such an experience, the TV playing basketball was a little distracting. It was facing the guests and so I imagine it was preferred by some? Not sure.
Please note, they have very strict reservation and cancellation policies. $100 cancellation fee within 48 hours, no substitutions whatsoever. They take your credit card when you make your reservations so make sure you are going!!
