Review content:
I was very disappointed with the experience. After hearing so much about the restaurant I finally made a reservation for my birthday. We were greeted very well and the people aspect remained great and pleasant until the very end. However the rest of the evening proved to be not a memorable experience. \r
\r
The restaurant itself looked cheap. The ambient light and modern design seemed as if it was made out of \r
So here comes the food part…\r
\r
I decided to go with Omakase, which is basically a sample menu containing everything from appetizers to desert. The first dish I got was tuna tartare, which was great; maybe a little bit too much of pancho in the mix if that is what they use because it kind of suppressed the tuna flavor. Then I got 3 clams with 3 different sauces and that was amazing as well, though I cannot give too much credit for bringing out fresh clams. To be completely honest, I must say that 2 out 3 sauces were delicious. One was with a slice of jalapeno and another one with a cilantro leaf. \r
\r
The next dish deserves a separate paragraph because it was probably the best fish I have ever had in my life. It was some soft of white fish, butterfish I think. The texture I contribute the fish, but the souce, which was based either on balsamic vinegar or some red wine was heavenly! \r
\r
The sashimi pieces were nice, fresh and cannot complain about it. Though once again, if u put a fresh fish in front of me I will probably have little complaints about it. The problem starts when people do not do a good job preparing it.\r
\r
However here is where the good things end.\r
\r
The lobster I got was rubbery and was not impressive at all. I had lobsters like that in Chinese takeouts.\r
The sushi sample I got was not impressive at all. The tuna one was very fresh and tender, but the rest was chewy and too fishy. The most anticipated Koby beef tiny piece of a steak was the most tender one I’ve had, yet it was basically a chunk of fat. I do know that koby beef is famous for its fat, which should be distributed throughout the cut and not simply be placed on a plate as a square chunk. So great flavor in the little piece of meat I was able to find on the plate and the rest is just fat.\r
\r
The desert was a big disappointment as well. I was basically a brownie that tasted not better that the one out of premixed box: very dry and the chocolate flavor was completely lost in the texture.\r
\r
My girlfriend went with a crispy calamari salad and a soup. The soup was ok at best with the salt almost precipitating in the cup. The calamari in the salad were very tender but they were soaked in fat, which happens when deep frying is happening on too low of a temperature or one leaves them out for too long. It was so disappointed that we actually send it back and got mushroom salad instead, which, though is described in the menu as containing rice and curry, came out as a fried mushroom rice. It tasted good, so I am just disappointed with the name. One orders a salad expecting a light meal and not a plate of fried rice.\r
\r
So to sum up, greatly disappointed. Great service with food that does not live up to its name and definitely its price. I am ok with paying $200 for just food, but I expect top quality and not feeling that I want to send everything back. I only sent one item back but wanted to do so on more that just one. And to finish the unsatisfactory evening, they threw away what we wanted to take with home and we had to wait for another 15 mins so they make it again since we almost did not touch fried wasabi rice being full from the “mushroom salad.”
