The most stand out point at our visit was the restaurant's impeccable service. They were very meticulous in creating a pregnancy friendly meal for me and explaining each component of my substitutions during the meal. When asked how each course was prepared, they responded with detailed answers. One suggestion I would make is to have the host/hostess offer suggestions on which entree to choose for a special diet customer. I did have to proactively ask about how the wagyu & duck entrees were normally cooked as I assumed they are served medium rare (too undercooked for a pregnant woman). However, they did kindly offer to cook them well done for me when I asked. Other than that, I fully enjoyed majority of the courses. The only course I didn't enjoy was the silken tofu substitute for the sashimi course. I felt the pickled component overpowered the delicate tofu and threw the dish off balance. My husband absolutely enjoyed the dessert courses especially the chocolate petit fours.
