    We discovered all Morimoto’s are not the same. Totally different experience with this location and quite disappointing. When arriving early for our reservation, we were finally seated 25 minutes after the reservation time. We noticed there were several couples that arrived after our arrival and were observed to be seated first. The food and drinks were okay. It was not a pleasant enough experience to return or recommend this location for future dining.

    Some of the best sushi ever. Sitting at the bar in back, I got to watch my order being prepared, which was beautiful to behold.

    Usually an amazing meal. Our server was fantastic but the food was not up to par. Miso cod was fishy and sushi didn’t taste as fresh as in past visits. Brought a few first timers and they did not enjoy the meal….

    We did the hit rock and a couple of sushi choices. The olive wygu was incredible. The seafood dish of shrimp, clams, crab and scallops was fantastic. Our young waitress was incredible. And we even left with an autographed cookbook. Fantastic experience.
