| - Came here for dinner while on a business trip to Montreal. It was recommended to me by a colleague, with a substantial amount of hype. Whenever superlatives such as "best" are used, you tend to walk in with high expectations.
The ambiance was trendy and chic. The menu offers run-of-the-mill sashimi/sushi as well as specialty rolls, which averaged ~$18-$25 each. I had the Besame Mucho roll and Lips. My friend had the Mango-Tango.
The Besame roll was somewhat tasteless and got old fast after the 3rd piece. The Lips/Mango Tango rolls were much better, but nothing above and beyond what I've had at other sushi places. All in (incl. drinks, dessert, tip), the meal was $100+. Not astronomical, but not cheap either.
As an aside, they didn't have Toro sashimi. Maybe Toro is in short supply in Montreal, but if you want to be considered a high-end sushi restaurant, not having Toro on the menu sets you back.
Bottom line: Decent sushi/rolls, but given the hype and the price, I expected more.
