I ate there Friday (12/4/09) and had a very unpleasant experience. When I first stepped in the door I noticed it smelled very fishy, definitely not what you want as your first impression. We ordered the sushi tasting menu, but the waitress was so soft spoken we literally could not hear a word she said. Particularly when you have ordered a tasting menu, it's important to actually know what's on your plate and half the time we didn't, despite having asked her to repeat herself several times.
I was -- and my date was -- extremely underwhelmed by the food. A number of the cooked courses, including the monkfish liver and the shitake mushroom soup, didn't taste like much beyond instant miso soup. The only sushi that stuck out as particularly good was the chu toro, and there was one piece of sushi which was too fishy to eat.
For a dinner that cost $125 a head, I am EXTREMELY disappointed in the experience. I will certainly not be going back and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
