by M S. on Just left the place and truthfully? I'm a tad tipsy. The drinks were well in the price point for the area - sturdy and pricey, but really good - the food was lovely. I am a strict lacto-ovo vegetarian, no fish, no poultry. I had the wild mushroom tamales. Tender with a delicate chile sauce. My friend who HATES mushrooms was tricked into a bite and asked me what the "delicious bite" was. This restaurant is not afraid of some heat in their dishes which I really appreciate. We were 5 people and the dishes which rated a double order were: 1) Crab Cakes 2) Wild mushroom tamales 3) blue corn fried calamari 4) Kokopelli Margaritas (strong but not sweet or cheap tasting - zing!) Also, the green beans and calabacitas were very popular at the table with with vegetarians and omnivores alike. The Chef is a charming, sexy, WOMAN (woooot!) and her dessert flan was amazing....some sort of marmalade magic. Service was kind, thoughtful, a little over attentive but NOT SNOTTY! The down side? Took away tapas plates when a nibble was left (they are nibble plates, leave them for the nibbling). The music downstairs was too loud. We were yelling at each other. Upstairs there was a dance floor which looked great but we were full, old and sleepy. I really want to go back for happy hour (got a flyer, M-F 4-7pm) and more tamales. I get the sense that they are still finding their identity so get there now and make it your own, before the chuckle-heads get wind. Ya know?
by Libby Greider on Years ago Morimoto had the best, most innovative cuisine. Perhaps I have become jaded, but the food was lackluster and the whole expereince rather blah. I got the 80$ Omakase, because I prefer hamachi to toro, strip to filet, etc. Everything except for the whitefish appetizer, which was delicious was just okay. When you are spending that kind of money, just okay isn"t good enough. There are too many other amazing places to try and experience to settle for okay. I sadly must say that Morimoto is in a serious decline.
by Faithy L. on The karaoke prices in Ktown left my friends and I nothing to do but to move on and go eat and drink some more. A friend suggested the Third Floor Cafe and we all just followed. This is actually a well decorated, intimate lounge (at least during the week) that can accomodate large groups of people, and you can kick it low key styles. Try their platters of fried chicken, served with pickled daikon and a tangy red sauce, AND a mini keg, for a good night of chit-chat and catch up.
