"I dined at Omi on Dec 27, 2008 and was terribly disappointed.\n3 of my best friends and I have been dining at fine restaurants in Toronto since 1996. With somewhat high expectation of Omi this dinner was supposed to be our last fine dining experience of 2008. And Omi unfortunately let us down.\n\nSo far, I've never \"yelped\" and just read other yelpers' reviews. But the service at Omi was so bad that I decided to start yelping and warn other yelpers of bad restaurants out there including Omi.\n\nThe four of us tried Omasake experience which is to \"Put your trust in the hands of the chef and order\" Huge mistake. Not only the server did not bother to tell us what was being offered/served to us but the waiting time between servings were super long. We constantly asked for hot tea which was completely ignored and at one point the server's thumb was touching the sauce of cheviche. The server and I made eye contact and the server without saying anything just place and food on our table and left.\n\nPerhaps Chef Lee should fly to Vancouver and try Tojo's Omasake and learn the true Omasake experience. Our Omasake experience costed us $300 for four of us. For that amount we could've ate something much better at other Japanese restaurant. Perhaps ordering from the regular menu is better but I was so disappointed by Omi experience."^^ . . . "1"^^ .
