Came here last night and sat at a table with a view! I would recommend this place for couples, girls/guys night out, business dinners and special occasions. The interior is outstanding. The ambiance is beautiful. Dressing up would be appropriate. But this place doesn't give off a stuffy vibe either. I don't usually eat at the bar in a restaurant but it looked so inviting! Next time I think I'll sit there.
The chefs/cooks have the most adorable uniforms! Ben, our server understood that we were just taking our time here to indulge in a few things. So he coursed our meal throughout the night. He was very knowledgable, professional and friendly. Sam, the general manager also checked up on us throughout to get feedback and ensured our satisfaction.
The food was awesome.
Pacific and Fanny Bay oysters were super fresh. The sauces were ok. I'd prefer a little spicier horseradish/cocktail sauce/ponzu. But that's just preference.
OCTOPUS CARPACCIO omg this was the highlight of the night!! I could've ate like 10 plates of this...for reals!
Beef Tataki was good. I'm glad I tried it but I could probably skip this dish next time around.
Rock Shrimp walnut salad was excellent! Perfect combo of flavors and textures.
Crispy pork belly...oh so good!! I loved this dish a lot! The flavors were amazing! They were bite size which was great but just a tad too crispy....but it is "crispy" pork belly so I can't really complain there.
Usuzukuri was clean and simple whitefish sashimi dish in a flavorful ponzu sauce and spicy grated daikon. This was a nice finish.
Also had the negi toro cut roll which is always amazing can't mess that up.
But unfortunately we weren't fans of the BLT roll or the Flaming Ahi roll.
I'm determined to try one of their specialty rolls that I could rave about! Sam did mention the Lotus Roll to be a favorite so maybe try that next.
