I'm not usually easily influenced by social media but in this case I just had to give it a try.
For the winter $50 prix fixe menu, they have several options to choose from. You have an appetizer, a main, a side, an alcoholic beverage, miso soup, salad, and dessert.
This is what I ordered:
Tamamo libation
Hamachi tataki
Seafood tower
Soy glazed cod
In terms of portions, quality and presentation, we're looking at a solid 4. I thought the tataki and glazed cod were a little too heavy handed on the sauces. Everything raw tasted fresh. The tataki had some bursts of brightness from the pomegranate and sliced grapes (I believe). The seafood tower was fun to create your own bites with seaweed. There was a nice variety of salmon, avocado, large shrimp, scallops, and caviar on a slim bed of rice. The drink was slightly watered down but I could taste the alcohol.
The dining room is dark and could be romantic for some. Booths in the back, and a few in the front. Ideally, a small group of 3-4 would allow you and your dining companions a sample of everything. All the other tables were set up for pairs.
What I found most notable was the service. Everyone was pleasant, professional, and attentive. Water was poured, plates were described, and dishes were collected efficiently.
I'd go back for this meal again but just order different things. Seriously, with all the choices, there's truly something for everyone.
