    We wanted to try Morimoto's for a long time where an opportunity presented itself and took my family to celebrate a milestone event. Prior to the occasion, I perused through the multitude of pictures that were posted by previous diners. With the help of the dinner menu from the website, I created a litany of dishes that were unique that I want to try. The intent was to create my version on an omakase where there was enough food from each dish for my family to sample and taste. Our server, Cristal, did an outstanding job of explaining the Morimoto sake and flight sake samplers along with answering questions on the various mixed libations. The staff was also very knowledgeable in describing the dishes we ordered and brought to our table from the kitchen. Overall, my family had a great time eating and drinking in an environment full of Japanese art and cultural items that reflects Chef Morimoto's proud heritage. If you want a place to celebrate a milestone or just stop for a drink with an appetizer or two, Morimoto of Napa is the number one choice.

    There was a small error with the bill and we were charged double, but the next day we spoke with the manager and he told us he wouldn’t fix the problem. Other than that, everything is very good.
