Morimotos

Overall Review:

Service: The service at Morimotos is not much to sing about. Both times we have eaten it was slow from taking the order, to receiving our drinks as well as our food. Its fair to say this is a type of restaurant that you go to enjoy a non-rushed lengthy meal, however, some things you don’t want to wait a 30 minutes for including your wine.

Food: The food was good but overall a bit disappointing. Knowing that Morimoto is an iron chef we were expecting some really out of this world dishes but nothing really stands out as the best. The food is artistic and very well plated which makes the experience interesting. The food was overall good but we felt his best dishes were the ones that concentrated more on flavor than jazz.  The only negative thing we can say was that the first time we ate at Morimotos we got sick on the Pastrami Sashimi which was disappointing especial when you pay $20 for the dish.

Favorite Dishes: Tofu, Gioza, Bisque, Caprachio, Morimoto Sashimi

Atmosphere: The ambiance at Morimotos is just beautiful. Both outdoor and indoor venues are zen and well designed. The green and dark wood tones are well balanced and the overall feel of the restaurant is trendy. The outside is much more enjoyable with lounge music, couches and fire pits for mingling. The inside has enlarged images of orchids and moss embedded clear tables. we recommend sitting outside because the indoor seating is so loud you can barely hear your dinning companions without screaming.

Consistency:Well the first time we didn’t have a very good experience with getting sick, however, when we went back again for dinner the food was good. I think the dinner menu is more exciting than the lunch menu so we would recommend going for an early dinner and sharing some dishes with friends.

Parking: Parking is complimentary with validation at The New Edition Hotel. Don’t forget to stop at the downstairs bar on the way out for a custom handmade martini! delicious…
