Mizumi truly excels in creating an elegant and immersive atmosphere. The decor transports you straight to Japan with its traditional elements combined with modern touches, making for a visually stunning dining experience.
The menu at Mizumi offers a broad selection of dishes, covering all the classics you'd expect from a high-end Japanese restaurant. While the offerings are satisfactory and cater well to diverse tastes, they don't necessarily push the boundaries of Japanese cuisine.
Here's where Mizumi fell short during my visit. One of the main dishes was forgotten, and rather than acknowledging the oversight, the staff took an inordinate amount of time—40 minutes—to bring it out. By then, the appetite had waned, somewhat souring the dining experience. There was a noticeable lack of accountability; neither the manager nor any staff member offered an apology or acknowledgment of the mistake, which was quite disappointing.
Despite the service hiccup, I would still recommend Mizumi, particularly for those who appreciate a beautiful ambiance. The quality of the food, when it arrived, was commendable. However, improvements in service and accountability could elevate this dining experience from good to exceptional. A simple apology or acknowledgment from the staff would have gone a long way in mitigating the impact of the oversight.
