What a lovely birthday meal!
My girlfriend and I dined here last night for a belated birthday celebration. We arrived at 5:30 for a 6pm reservation. We anticipated having to wait but luckily the restaurant was pretty empty and we were seated right away. We were greeted by three smiling faces upon arrival and very friendly customer service throughout our entire meal.
Since we haven't seen each other face-to-face for a year, my girlfriend and I had a lot to catch up on! Between chatting and eating, our meal lasted 2.5 hours but the restaurant was fairly empty and we were never rushed to finish our meal or leave. We enjoyed two glasses of Malbec - they have a great one here - and powered through a ton of food.
We asked the server for her recommendations and she did not steer us wrong. We devoured the following:
- SNOW CRAB JALAPENO: snow crab rolled in cucumber, cilantro,
garlic jalapeno sauce
- KAMPACHI SERRANO: 6 slices of kampachi sashimi, garlic, thinly
sliced serrano pepper, yuzu soy sauce.
- SUSHI-SASHIMI: 1 spicy tuna roll, 6 nigiri, 12 sashimi
- SASHIMI: 16 pc chef's choice
- HOUSE SPECIAL: tuna, yellowtail, salmon, white fish, smelt egg, eel, avocado
- SPICY SCALLOP: seared scallop, arugula, spicy mayo, smelt egg, shiitake, avocado
Our entire meal was very delicious! Our hands-down favorite was the Kampachi Serrano, followed by the snow crab jalapeno. The sashimi platters were beautiful and very fresh. We both didn't really care for the two rolls - and the server says they are the two most popular rolls, so maybe pass on the rolls next time.
Finally, they surprised me with a mille crepe cake for dessert! How sweet.
PS. They validate parking for two hours.
Enjoy!
