• large group lunch

  Phenomenal meal with custom made dishes by the head chef. This was a busy Monday night, but the team made us feel like we were the only ones there. Truly a memorable experience. And the sake was unreal!

• group dinner

  Food was superb deserving of more than 5 stars. Members of our party who ordered the Glacier 51 Chilean Sea Bass and Miso Black Cod both rated them as the best they have ever had anywhere. The service matched the food. The servers were very helpful and attentive. The only downside was that a very big room was deservedly full but quite noisy. You had to talk loudly to be heard by the person next to you which feeds the noise. While partitions give privacy and make the space more attractive, they do not help with noise.

• group dinner

  So this place was just absolutely wonderful. We arrived and accommodated our much larger party than we had reservations for. The food was just some of the best sushi I’ve had. The yellowtail sashimi was my favorite. I’m so happy with the overall experience. I think the only issue was how loud it was, but that’s not a problem that can be addressed by the restaurant.

• larger group dinner

  Helpful team with excellent suggestions for our larger group. Nicely timed service

• big group dinner

  Not impressed with the food at all. It may be famous but its like going to big chinese restaurant. The smell of fish was so overwhelming the minute I walk in. We went upstairs as we are a big group. It was noisy but service was good. Food was just average and pricey for what was served. We ordered the rice cake it came out tough and chewy. The beef skewer was overcook and tough and tasteless. The lobster tempyea was so little only 3 or 4 small pieces for the cost of over 40bucks. Not worth it at all. We were there during the UN Assembly week
