Going to Matsuhisa is always a fun experience. This time my 4 guests and myself were all very disappointed with the service. Every one of us felt our waiter was trying to rush us out the door. During each course he would come by (while we were eating) and ask us for the next course. It was downright obnoxious. We will be back but next time we will not let the waiter ruin our fun.
