Our bill/person was higher than that of a 1star Michelin I've been to...and at least I left full after that meal. \n\nTables are awkwardly placed in cramped rooms of an old house. There was a business dinner next to us and their voices permeated the room. Our server could not recommend a Japanese beer because she had not tried them. Dishes come out with an explanation of everything on the plate...until she forgot her memorized lines...\"here we have three types of Japanese mushrooms: shiitake, enoki...and....another one that starts with and 'S'. I'll be right back.\" Weird. \n\nWe had 6 dishes:\ngrapefruit hamachi - fish was not fresh\nyellowtail ceviche -good dish, i'd recommend this\ntako and tomato - octopus was as chewy as rubber and I don't think it pairs well with mozzarella \nseabass and mushroom - fish was overcooked, too much butter, and overly salty\nsoft shell crab salad - my half of a small crab was the best part of the meal, so good. but the salad dressing was way too acidic and overpowering\npork belly - another good dish with some rice for carbs\n\nA man handling paperwork and bills had his work spread out all over a table and couches. I thought it was weird for the setting they're trying to create. And I had to search for toilet paper and exchange their roll for them. My food, service, and ambience expectations for a restaurant slide with price, and Nobuo misses the mark. I'm happy we had a Deal Chicken coupon of $50 for $100 because I would not have come here otherwise."^^ . "4"^^ . "2013-10-17T00:00:00"^^ . "3"^^ . .
