    We had a truly great experience. My partner and I decided to continue the relaxing vibe from the Ten Thousand Waves Spa and stay for lunch. This was a great decision. The restaurant is beautiful and the reception was inviting. The service was attentive, just like the spa. The cocktails were amazing, and the food was spectacular. We shared 5 different dishes, tapas style, each one was a winner.

    After a relaxing soak at 10kwaves we treated ourselves to a great Sake tasting paired with exquisite selections from their extensive menu. We are making this experience a part of our schedule every visit.

    We loved the ambience of the dining room and our booth was roomy and comfortable. Our server explained the various menu options and how much food we should order so as not to have too much or too little. Service was quick and we had time to eat each course before the next one arrived.

    We had a great time for our first time at Izanami. We had a trainee server named Aiverson and he was very professional and answered all our questions. We will definitely be going back soon!

    I guess we were hoping for a better culinary experience based on reviews and our previous experience with similar style restaurants like Nobu and Matsuhisa. Staff and service were excellent but the food was just okay. The miso bass was very tender and flaky but didn’t have much, if any, miso flavor other than a small amount of glaze. The spicy cucumber and avocado salad was bland and definitely not spicy. The fried chicken was well seasoned but overcooked and chewy, and the spicy mayo had zero flavor nor spice. We quit and left before ordering another portion of disappointment.
