Yamakase

Amazing food. The experience is unique. There’s only one chef in the customer facing kitchen, and the chef does everything in front of you, from prepping the ingredients to final assembly. Chef Yamamoto is the most well rounded Japanese chef I’ve witnessed. Everything he does in the kitchen are done with top tier skills.

The best I can say is that for the money it gives you a lot of quantity; there's a lot of foods w/ expensive ingredients and I suppose you get a lot for the money you spend (which is a lot), but it feels like it's just quantity over taste. The food feels unrefined and not well thought out, almost like a Chinese chef decided to implement a Japanese prix fixe that's supposed to have a lot of expensive ingredients with an eye to impress rather than delight. A huge bowl of truffles flakes, yep... I guess that's supposed to taste good? There was certainly a lot of quantity, but not much that impressed in terms of taste. My mom and I were very disappointed by the meal.

Special place for special occasions. Yama-san is truly a master at his craft. The menu will vary depending on season, availability, and most importantly, what he feels is needed for his audience that night. The staff and service are top notch. Bring a bottle of your favorite wine to enjoy.

As always, Yama Sam delivers

Uncrowned king, the ingredients are sufficient, but it is easy to lose the original taste. I like the recommended wine very much, it is very good, it is a restaurant that will come back again

Absolute treasure. Food was spectacular, service was impeccable, and the conversation unbeatable. If you have an intimate party (under 8 people) you will thoroughly enjoy this place.
