Read moreAtmosphere is fantastic chill music nice aquariums nice layout with seats even some tucked away for intimate setting. Now for the important part the food was not a standard I would ever expect from a fine dinning establishment we ordered a few appetizers from fried products to salads.(After that I refused to order oysters and raw beef items which I would have 1000% gotten and was looking forward too.) All food was served on luke warm plates when you have a fine dinning restaurant basic mandatory standards is cold food on cold plates hot food on hot plates. But the no flavor is insane even on salads with dressings very very disappointing. Then the service oh God idk if it is because we are foreigners and I try to always be on a servers side but they just flat out ignored requests when I used translator had to ask multiple people for extra plates for salads and apps. And as a chef of 17 years I just expect more from a restaurant that is perceived to be finer establishment( consolation prize pasta dishes are fantastically done, noodles cooked to perfection flavor is there for Bolognese and creamy shrimp with basil simple easy dishes don't get enough for me to give them more than 2 stars cold plates with hot pasta) I just expected more especially from fine dining restaurant in Japan where they strive to be perfect or the best and it didn't...
Read moreI came here for Valentine's Day dinner with my boyfriend. I'm not sure if reservations are required, but my boyfriend made the reservation for us. There were tables for large groups and also tables for dates. Our table was a two person table facing an aquarium, both of us sitting on one side on a pretty comfortable couch. There was a table fairly close on one side, but it still felt pretty private. The food was pretty good. I especially liked the beef, and the desserts. It was pretty easy to share the food between two people, but the portions weren't terribly big. I would recommend this restaurant for special occasions, as it's on the expensive side. Also keep in mind it has a service fee on top of the price of the food. I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. It was low light, but the glow from the aquariums was really nice. I enjoyed watching the fish as we ate. The staff were really friendly and they explained the menu when we sat down. This restaurant has both course based meals, and individual items on the menu, as well as, both alchohol and non-alchoholic drinks. For dessert, we had really cute tiramisu, and strawberry shortcake parfaits. I really liked the strawberry...
