We love your restaurant. That said it was not a “wow” last night. The last few times it was an A++. Last night an A at best. The server was good and anticipated many of our needs, but he was so very soft spoken, my husband and our guest has a very difficult time hearing him and the food instructions. And it was not even close to a full house at our 5:15 seating. Several of the pieces of sashimi were also a bit fishy, which has never happened before. We will come back, but we may try the other items instead of our typical omakase .

Superb, as usual. The carrot sformato was an unusual find and quite delicious. The addition of olives to the blood orange and fennel salad hit just the right acid note, Mama’s meatballs were pure beef with a strong dash of anise seed, and the accompanying marinara had been simmering for ages to pick up that deep complexity of flavors and great balance between sweet and slightly acid.
