We were seated an hour after our reservation time and the dinner service took 3 hours to complete. It was so frustrating that people were being seated before us having arrived after even though we were already well past our reservation time. The food service was inconsistent and when the food arrived it seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. The restaurant was very unprepared for the reservations they accepted. On top of it all, when we were finished, the couple next to us, that had had the same experience we had complained and got a BIG discount when we were all in the same situation.

We did the “omakase” experience but this was not actually omakase.. this was just a pre fixe menu in an “omakase” room. Typical omakase experiences, you sit at the bar and interact with the chef as they prepare and hand you your course. For this “experience,” we were sat in a room, handed a pre fixe menu and served by a multitude of different employees. This experience was not at all what was advertised. Next time, I plan to book elsewhere for an actual omakase experience.

Absolutely everything was A+. Definitely order the smoked sushi (outrageous in presentation and taste!) and if you're curious how good a hand roll could be, Juno answered that question.

When we arrived it seemed as if there were several other reservations for exactly the same time and the hostess could not keep the groups straight. She asked us to wait at the bar and we did for about 30 minutes, during which the bartender never acknowledged us; we didn’t get waters let along drinks. Then once we were finally sat we put in food and drinks and got all of our food before the drinks came. All of the food was excellent and our server was helpful giving recommendations but the pacing was really bizarre. At this price point we expected the service to be excellent and were disappointed.
