Steph came to visit
Sorry, this was months ago
This was our dinner.
Santa Barbara oysters with yuzu sauce
3 omakase
But why only two oysters?
So Steph and I shared.
Oysters were OK
But nothing really special
Still, why only two?
avocado, cream cheese, salmon, turnip
Very pretty dish
but the texture was too soft
Flavor was one note
Amberjack, sea bream, tuna
You serious, bro?
Again, brought only two plates
GIVE US EACH OUR OWN
Charge us more? That’s fine!
Requested one plate for each
Why’d we have to ask??
okra, Japanese sweet potatoes
Smoky sweet and charred
Yay! Yummy vegetables!
Steph was so happy.
Mushrooms – shiitake and enoki
My favorite dish
Meaty mushrooms make mouths smile.
Earthy, tender, sweet.
Steak… with no grill marks, though we saw him grill it!
No trick of lighting
Why is the meat grey? Ugly
Soft, lacking flavor
giant prawn
Overcooked, rubb’ry
Sad giant prawn mishandled
Woe is my belly.
whole thread fin
Eh. It’s a whole fish.
Fresh, sure, but not amazing.
We ate it all, though.
Obviously meh.
Overall feelings? So so.
Definitely eh.
Not worth the money.
Over 80 dollars each.
Before tax and tip.
Sorry, my dear Steph.
I’ll eat with you anywhere.
But next time… not here.
Shout out to server
He’s fluent in Japanese
Good at his job, too.
Love when Steph visits
Special thanks, Dessert Zombie
Her opinion here.
Stephanie says
haha I love this! I think I would go back only to order the grilled veggies and mushrooms. I’ll pass on everything else. And next time I’m back, let’s go for oysters! =)
Feisty Foodie says
Yay oysters! Well, we’ll see. Next time you’re back, lots of big changes 🙂
CheeeeEEEEse says
Grey steak looks like shit
Everything else looks pretty
I don’t want the steak
Dessert Zombie says
Two plates for 3 omakase? Weird idea of fair portioning. Maybe they really wanted you and Steph to share and the Zombie to have his own. Ha.
