I am not impressed for a Sat 5 pm dinner. First, after I confirmed my reservation for 2 pp the day.before they had to call to tell me that they would like to have the table back by 6.45 pm. This is ok with me as I thought there is limited open seatings. But when I got there afew mins before 5 they made us wait in line for quite a while. After seating our waitress showed up some 15 minutes later, gave us less than 1.5 hr to dine. When we left at 6.50 there were quite a number of empty tables so why gave us the pressure to leave 6.45? The food at best was mediocre, no wow factor. You can get same quality of food from a good number of Japanese restaurants in Manhattan at more reasonable prices. I will not return. I had much better times at theirs in Tribeca. Dont know how they got all these stars.
