clean, light and fresh flavors. i can't say much for the outside of the restaurant but the inside is absolutely alluring. the decor is modern and sleek yet warmly inviting with a lively atmosphere. we decided to go with the 8-course omakase that represented morimoto's cuisine at its finest: clean, light flavors, fresh ingredients and impeccable presentation. the major difference between the 7-course and 8-course menu is not the quantity but the quality (i.e. the 7 course may have scallops while the 8 course has lobster)
i do not recommend the tasting menu if you are not fond of raw fish since the majority of our courses were seafood; fatty tuna tartare, sashimi, sushi and oysters. yes, it is pricey and while the tasting menu filled me up, my husband wished for more (no big deal, we went for dessert afterwards and extended our night out)
the only tiny con was that one of our courses had kobe katsu which tasted great but why fry such quality meat? i kind of wanted to taste it by itself. however, i would go back to this place in a heartbeat.
