    Food was good as was service. It’s a bit pricey especially the wine which seems overpriced for small pours

    We had the 8 course tasting menu, which was very good with exclusion of the supposedly Wagyu beef, which was extremely tough

    Every chance I get I dine at a Morimoto restaurant, which is funny because I don’t prefer fish. The non-fish options are plentiful and excellent.

    I was extremely disappointed. First and foremost, the food: I ordered the tasting menu, Morimoto Omakase, and the with the exception of the Wagyu ,which absolutely delicious, and the desert, the other courses were uniformly untasty. They left me thinking is this for real, especially at the hefty price of $165/person. Also, many of raw fish had an unpleasant fishy smell and taste, and I'm not a novice when it comes to Japanese cuisine. The second major complaint was the music, or more aptly Muzak aka elevator music. It was too loud and felt out of place. The server was pleasant though I'm afraid that didn't make up for the mediocre to bad food and atmosphere.

    Everything was fabulous for my wife’s 50th. Arrived at opening, maybe a few minutes early but we’re allowed to wait inside. Seated quickly after she checked her coat. Service was fabulous with Monica. Shared her faves on the menu, answered any questions and was just a pleasure throughout our time. And they also did a desert with a candle for my wife. I would never hesitate to go for a great dining experience
