    The server and service was the best that we’ve experienced in New York City. The food came out very quickly and the weight staff were on their a game. The sashimi was very thin so you got 14 slices but tiny pieces of fish. That was the only complaint otherwise the roles were fabulous and the ambience was incredible.

    I went to Kappo Masa's on Madison for the first time because Masa's on Columbus Circle is closed on Mondays. The taste and presentation were sophisticated and better than I expected. The VIP I brought with me from Japan was very satisfied with the food. Thank you very much.

    The duck with froid gras tacos are remarkable. We also had a small salad, and of course dessert. The atmosphere is lovely, wait help attentive and we had a banquette seat located on the side of the restaurant that was quiet. Our traditional Christmas lunch.
