Benjamin S A great restaurant with some fantastic dishes and beers! Ed, Jacob, and Jesse all served us throughout the night and they were fantastic to speak to as they provided great recommendations for drink and food, along with great conversation.
The beers being opened tableside and poured was a level of service I havent experienced in quite some time from a restaurant. It was greatly appreciated. Being a vegetarian, Jacob recommended the Yami Yami roll that was one of the best sushi dishes I have ever had, hands down. The spicy edamame, miso soup, and vegetarian dumplings were all amazing choices as well. They werent overfilling or overpowering in quantity and seasoning, respectively.
The Hitachino beers were all so good and a great way to compliment the dishes if you enjoy beer with distinct flavor profiles. Normally, Im only used to Sapporo as my home province has very little offering in the way of Japanese beer. The Hito White, Lager, Damidami, and Red Rice were all so unique but complimentary to the food. The taste was quite noticeable but subtle at the same time; each one was in its own way fantastic. I cannot emphasize enough how well they paired with the food that was served. I truly respect a restaurant that can elevate the experience by pairing drinks so effectively with the food.
The entire restaurant is beautifully laid out. It felt like the prohibition met rustic-modern, and had a baby. It really provided a wonderful atmosphere to spend the evening so close to attractions like the Notre Dame Cathedral and La Grande Roue!
