| - I came here with a couple of friends for Summerlicious. When we first walked into the restaurant, we were greeted and seated right away because we had reservations. The restaurant wasn't too busy at this time as it was still pretty early. We were seated beside the windows facing the streets of Yorkville, nothing to complain about here. The windows of the restaurant were floor to ceiling windows that opened up completely and the chairs they had were comfortable lounge chairs. The restaurant was very posh and sophisticated with lots of hanging lights, simplistic decor and wood tables. We were greeted by one waitress whom asked if we were all doing Summerlicious and had to wait a couple of minutes before our drink orders were taken by another waitress. It seemed to me that they were kind of deciding among themselves which tables they were to serving. My friends ended up ordering the white wine they had on special, which I believe was a Chardonnay. (I wasn't drinking that night - what a surprise!). After that, the waitress took our orders for our orders for appetizer, main and dessert. I went with the Lobster Miso Soup with tofu, enoki mushrooms, scallions. For my main dish, I decided to go with the Black Garlic Soba Noodles with kale, shiitake, cherry tomato, black garlic sauce. For dessert, I chose the Chocolate Stone which was essentially a Chocolate Mousse, shaped like a stone with black sesame cream, candied sesame to garnish. I really enjoyed my Lobster Miso Soup. It was delicious, tasteful and a twist on the regular Miso Soup. The main dish was also delicious, refreshing and just the right amount of sauce. The dessert was also yummy, but nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary. My friends decided to go with the same appetizer as me, but different main dishes and desserts. The main dish they decided on was the Misoyaki Chicken Karashi with miso, potato puree, bok choy, fried leeks. They said their Chicken was so salty! They almost couldn't finish the dish because it was so salty. I tried a bite of their chicken and they said they wished they ordered my main instead. For dessert, one ordered the Mochi - which came with a mango, sesame, and strawberry mochi, tasted exactly the same as what you would get from an Asian grocery store. The other one ordered the Strawberry Shortcake - which was mediocre. All in all, the food was okay, the price range for the food was over-priced for what it was worth and the service was pretty good considering the waitress came by to ask how everything was and if we needed anything else throughout the dinner service. The only thing was when we asked for the bill, it took a while for them because it got really busy. We didn't end up sitting on the patio, but I heard it was beautiful and there was a really long line up with a guest list for the patio as we were leaving. I think if I do end up coming back in the future, I'll try their overpriced sushi menu and give a patio a shot.
