Must experience: Morimoto.
Usually it’s difficult to tell much about a restaurant when you’re in a group. But, shared plates make the experience more like couples dining together rather than a group.
All brought to by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto so, it’s Japanese with a larger Asian twist…a spin on bibimbap, called Ishi Yaki Bop, for example. The menu is extensive and extends across the Japanese spectrum…miso soup to sushi, to sashimi to tempura to…you get the point…it’s extensive. I usually focus on sushi and usually go with my typical choices….saba, unagi, tobiko with quail egg (udama) and soft shell crab roll. It’s my way to compare between restaurants. Don’t see it on the menu just ask and they’ll make it for you.
The desserts seem legendary…rosemary ice cream…very, very rich and the fiery chocolate were two of several had. Even if you’re not s chocolate fan, the presentation is worth the order…tableside immolation of a large chocolate ball using high proof rum. Really something that must be experience.
The saki offerings are extensive. A large number of wines by the glass and bottle are also available and include New and Old World choices and of course, dessert wine and saki are also available.
Service was excellent and the space…amazing!
