    The food was excellent, but I felt the service was lacking. We were the among the initial people to arrive in the restaurant yet our order was taken last only after I had to flag down the server. This made us lose out on some dishes as they were no longer available after other patrons had ordered. Also our server wasn't filling our water glass (they might have done it only once) and focused too much on their "buddy" who was in the restaurant. Even with this I did leave a decent tip (20%), but it was a bitter pill to do so. For 180$ we expected much better service.

    My favorite place to eat in MTL. I’d say only that, but the review app requests at least 50 characters 🙃. Now we’re good!

    I’ve had a miso soup and a crab mazemen, along with a glass of sake and a glass of French white wine. Everything was delicious! Based on what I had, I highly recommend this place. Now I’m curious about more “common” stuff: sashimi, chirashi… I’ll be back 😎
