「Paid for omakase, got treated like extras at someone else’s party.」
因為之前曾經來這裡用餐，對食材與整體氛圍都非常滿意，這次我一個很重要的朋友生日，才特地選擇這間餐廳為朋友慶生。但我真非常後悔做這個決定！
在用餐過程中，已經明顯感受到師傅對另一桌客人特別照顧。這些其實我都覺得還好，只要東西好吃 我朋友開心就好
然而就在最後生日的環節，卻發生了讓人難以接受的情況——本應該屬於壽星專屬的時間，卻因為另一桌（師傅特別照顧的那桌）人數較多，師傅將我們的生日蛋糕和對方的蛋糕一起送上，迫使我們只能和陌生人同時唱生日快樂歌……
這樣的安排，完全不在我的預期內…..
原本是我為朋友慶生的環節變成被「被迫」和別人一起慶生的場面。甚至當下我覺得不像是在為我的朋友慶生，反而更像是陪襯在別人慶生的場合裡。
師傅在慶生的過程中幾乎只專注在幫另一桌慶生，所有氛圍和注意力都傾向他們那一桌
我真的覺得很搞笑，你可以幫別桌慶生但不用毀了我們的誒！我做東幫朋友慶生變成一起幫別人慶生的場面？！
害我覺得對朋友很抱歉，明明他也是壽星，卻因為餐廳的安排而覺得沒有被尊重。
對於一位花心思準備、特地選擇貴店來慶生的客人而言，這樣的經歷確實令人難以釋懷。
還記得第一次來鮨多芽時，主廚介紹「鮨多芽 Otame」名字的由來，除了與他本名發音相近之外，主要是想要傳達「對他人的用心、謝意，並期待再次相逢」。但在這次二訪之後，我只希望主廚還能記得他的初衷，而不是讓人覺得只有「被主廚特別選中的客人」才有資格享受這樣的體驗與感受。
如果要來幫朋友慶生或者帶重要客人來的客人，希望我的經驗能幫你避雷！
這種無菜單料理 以這個價位 台中有更好的選擇
I came here before and was impressed with the food and atmosphere, so I chose this restaurant again to celebrate a very important friend’s birthday. But I truly regret this decision.
During the meal, it was obvious the chef gave much more attention to another table. I didn’t mind too much, as long as the food was good and she was happy.
But during the birthday moment, what should have been her special time was ruined. The chef brought out both our cake and the other table’s cake together, forcing us to sing “Happy Birthday” with strangers. Worse, all the focus and energy went to the other table, while my friend was completely overlooked.
I felt sorry and embarrassed for her. She was also the birthday guest, yet because of the restaurant’s arrangement, she was not respected at all.
I still remember the first time I came here, the chef explained the origin of the name “Otame” — not only because it sounds similar to his own name, but more importantly because he wanted to convey “thoughtfulness toward others, gratitude, and the hope of meeting again.” After this second visit, I can only hope the chef remembers that original intention, instead of making it feel like only the “chosen” customers get to experience such sincerity.
For anyone planning to celebrate a birthday or bring important guests here, I hope my experience serves as a warning. At this price point for omakase, Taichung truly has much better options.
（08/29 更新）針對您的回覆，我再次重申：
您在回覆中提到：「在沒有收到您對朋友的生日安排，確實很難理解您對於慶生的期待。」
首先，我必須強調，我並沒有要求任何特別驚喜、花藝佈置等額外安排。我唯一事先告知的，就是會有生日蛋糕。真正讓我無法接受的，是我完全不知道當天還有另一桌客人也在慶生，更沒有人提前告知我們。最後竟然被迫與陌生人同時端出蛋糕、在同一時間一起慶祝。這樣的情況完全不在我的預期之內。這場晚餐是我特地安排、為了替一位非常重要的朋友慶生，但她應有的專屬時刻卻因為另一桌壽星而被掩蓋，這正是讓我深感失望的主因。
我去過許多餐廳，無論是米其林餐廳，還是一般餐廳，都從未遇過「被迫與別桌共同慶生」的情況。如果您能事先告知當天會有其他壽星，我完全可以提前規劃，甚至調整慶生方式，而不是在現場臨時被動接受，讓原本的驚喜與心意徹底落空。
更遺憾的是，在尚未離開餐廳之前，我就已經透過 LINE 向您表達過我的不滿與意見，我也確定您有看到，但當下卻沒有任何真正的回應或重視。直到我將這次的經驗公開分享在這裡，才突然收到您正式的回覆。這樣的經過讓我不得不懷疑——如果我沒有公開寫下這段經驗，餐廳是否根本不會在意客人的感受？
我要再次強調，我的不滿並不是因為追求額外待遇，而是最基本的尊重。以 OTAME 這樣價位的餐廳而言，料理固然重要，但服務品質與細節也必須與之匹配。若服務無法支撐起餐廳所標榜的價值，那麼以這個價位來說，這樣的餐飲體驗只能令人遺憾。

I did not expect special surprises or decorations—only that my friend’s birthday cake would be served properly. Instead, without any notice, our cake was brought out together with another table’s, forcing us to celebrate at the same time with strangers. A dinner meant to honor my friend turned into a shared moment where her spotlight was lost.
I have dined at many restaurants, Michelin and non-Michelin alike, and have never been forced to share a birthday celebration. Had I been informed in advance, I could have planned differently.
More disappointing, I raised my concern via LINE before leaving, and I know it was seen, yet it was ignored until I posted this review. Respect and service are as important as food quality. At OTAME’s price point, this lack of attention to detail is...
