Where are all the reviews for this gem?? Let me be the first in 2014 to say this place remains an intriguing little restaurant. On the night I visited with one other friend (must call in advance and reserve) the chef was the only one there operating front of house, taking orders, and preparing course after course for us and two other tables. While the dinner itself took something like two hours total, it suited the format of the 7-course meal. no one wants to gobble up delicious food like this so quickly and be out the door in fifty minutes!
There's no sushi at Jardin Iwaki but you won't miss it with the beautiful presentation and delicious glimpse into other kinds of Japanese cuisine.
