Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Japantown

All the food was incredible! Service team made solid efforts to be friendly and courteous. However, there were some organizational struggles; our table was not ready until about 15 min after the 8pm reservation time. Party was left standing by the bar. Eventually, we were seated at a table that I saw was actually empty and prepped for at least 5 minutes. Then our courses were a bit rushed since they wanted to wrap up our meal by closing time. Overall would return. But be prepared to wait

Zuni Cafe was just what we hoped it would be—outstanding. The garlic bread with burrata, peppers and onion was outstanding and the soup was very good. The halibut and duck leg mains were excellent. The fries (string potatoes) were delivered late and, frankly, weren’t as good as they looked. The pavlova dessert was a good way to cap the meal. We definitely would go back again.

This was first time my wife and I ate at Dalida, and we were not disappointed. The food is meant to be shared so going with a larger group will give you the chance to try more dishes. We started with fresh oysters, and then had the Fattoush salad (beets and persimmons) and the "Braking Bread". We then shared the Anatollan Erishte (Turkish noodles with mushrooms) and the Kayseri Manti (lamb dumplings). Every dish was excellent. The pace of the meal was wonderful and the atmosphere was delightful. They have a very extensive wine list and all price points both by the glass and full bottles. I was interested in some southern European wines I have never heard of and our server gave excellent descriptions. I was not disappointed with my choice. Our server was wonderful, knowledgeable, and gave us great service from when we were seated to when we paid at the end of the meal. I am already looking forward to a future visit.
