Additionally, the small restaurant services an outside terrace even in winter so every time the door opens for service out there the cold winter air blows in. Service was not professional given the prices. $600 for 2 people…Matsuhisa and others are a way better bet in the area.

We were coming over since its opening and loved the food, the service, and the decor. Yesterday, we noticed inconsistencies in food preparation, sloppy uneven rolls, sloppy placement of food on the plates, napkins with greasy stains folded in the settings, and they had no miso soup! So they offered ramen noodles broth, which was really just a noodle water, which they charged us $8 for... They also didn't have any sake. Everything was way overpriced! And even though our waiter didn't belong in a Japanese restaurant (his name is Hamsa), he was absolutely great!!! But we are not coming back.
