I can’t say enough about this restaurant. The staff did a tremendous job with the new restrictions for COVID. The food and service were incredible. It is easy to see why this is a Michelin star. If you can get a reservation it is well worth it.
The 9-course meal: The kaiseki experience is beautifully composed, elegantly paced and may feature such exquisite presentations as the seasonal hassun—unveiling poached eggplant in dashi and seared Sonoma duck breast. Other courses have included straw-smoked Hokkaido scallop sashimi with jidori egg yolk sauce; Wagyu beef tenderloin with a reduction of the estate's own Bordeaux-style blend. Pair the wagyu with the Kenzo Cabernet ($70/glass) for a great food pairing. We also ordered all the chef's selection of Edomae-style sushi that wasn’t part of the kaiseki experience. If you’re still hungry it’s definitely worth the extra money. The rice which is noticeably excellent is a smaller portion than typical sushi one can eat more of their amazing sushi dishes. The dishes are prepared with what’s in season so the sushi offerings may differ. Highly recommended!!
Arrived with high expectations, based on the Michelin review. All in all , no particular flaw, but certainly nothing revelatory about the meal. Wine list is particularly sparse(Their Kenzo Estate Rose was admittedly delicious). Sake's available were double the price they typically are. Most of the dishes were ascetically pleasing, but boring. The best course was the sushi course which was perfect. Desert was embarassingly mediocre, with one item described as " pancakes" inedible. Service was thoughtful and correct and with proper pace. Overall, Not much value here.
Wonderful Michelin Star rated traditional Japanese cuisine. Watching the chef prepare the sushi is a special treat in old school traditions. A great experience in fine dining.
