So If I was writing on the food alone I would probably give it a 3 stars maybe even a four if the cost was less. However, for the cost of this place I would definetely go somewhere else. Based upon a review of a certain white suited self proclaimed food critic in town we went here. We got the $120 Omakase menu.
First off, the decor I thought was nice over all but not what I was looing for. The front door was impressive but inside the place was a bit trendy, which I could appreciate but I was really looking for a nice classy dinner out not somewhere they are playing pop music in the background. That alone though I wouldn't knock down a star for. But the service was lacking. We had to ask multiple times for the water glass to be refilled. I had to ask twice for the sake menu and that was after waiting awhile the first time. The busser kept trying to take my plate while there was still food on it and I was still eating. One of the courses he brought out while my husband was still in the bathroom, he mumbles off what it was ... couldn't understand him for the life of me and when I tried to ask what he said he quickly wandered off. For the life of me I kept thinking he said it was some sort of tongue but then after trying it I figured out it was cod.
The servers that work here have mastered the art of not making eye contact and thus making poor service even worse. I truly felt like flailing my arms about to try and be noticed for more water.
Ok on to the food, I will say out of the ten courses a few of them were excellent. They had a toro tartare with a cavier that was extraordinary and I liked the thinly sliced wagyu with white truffle. However, the presentation was nothing out of the ordinary and neither was the sushi if which I had one piece of red snapper, squid, toro and blue fin tuna. For having ten crouses and spending close to $150 a person we left hungry and ended up hitting up Roberto's on the way home.
All in all I was disappointed. Based upon the cost and the experience I would definetely try elsewhere and as for the emphatic recommendation from the white suited self proclaimed food critic from now on his recommendations will only be given the weight it deserves.... after researching yelp!
