I honestly hardly ever have a bad time at Hiro, granted I don't enjoy the nightlife scene as much as I used to but we used to gather up the girls and put on our party dresses and dancing shoes and just have a good time. Asian themed setting. Dark lighting, soft glow from the lanterns overhead. It feels like what Kyoto would look like during the period following WWII. At least in my interpretation of it anyway. Dancefloor is smallish, especially on nights when they do a lot of bottle service. They will pack tables right on the dance floor and you'll be forced to dance in the tight gaps between the tables. Upstairs is more of my thing. Wide open space, lean over the balcony and just watch the scene unfold below us while my friends are throwing back shots at the bar.

We came by on a Sunday and the scene was pretty dead, but by the time we left, a decent crowd had formed by the lounge area's stage and an act was just starting to perform. Bummer cuz I had thought that Yoshi's was stragetically set-up so that everyone who was wining and dining would be immersed in a show. Not so, here. There's a divider between the dining area and the lounge area. Buuut, nonetheless we were all so happy w/ our dining experience there. Highlight dishes: * Kobe Beef "Sushi": lightly grilled tri-tip, Japanese eggplant, Bloomsdale spinach, sweet miso sauce. A MUST order. There was just the right hint of miso sauce topping the sushi and the beef slices were nice and tender. * Japones Sushi Roll: maguro and hamachi, cilantro, jalapeño, avocado, chili oil, tobiko, lime. This was one of those fat ass rolls that are sliced real thick. Normally I'm not a fan of sushi prepared like this, but wow. This was one of my favorites of the evening. * Organic Heirloom Beet Salad: My friend ordered this and we all had major food envy. * Organic Seasonal Vegetable Tenpura (synonymous w/ "Tempura"): Ours included pumpkin & some other unique Japanese veggies lightly battered & fried to a nice crispiness. And to make the dinner that much more complete.... my Deerfield Cuvee Merlot selection from Sonoma was a total winner. It had lots of fruit and really soft tannins that paired well with the Kobe Beef. I can't wait to track that sucker down! Our server was very attentive and so was the rest of the staff. They always kept our water glasses full and our plates cleared and we loved how they showed some personality w/ their entertaining banter. 1 of the 2 only hang-ups we encountered was the order of how the food was served. My friend didn't get her appetizer salad until the very end of the meal. And.. although we enjoyed all the dishes we ordered, we were surprised that they were already out of their 2 most popular dishes (Dayboat Diver Scallops and Gindara Black Cod), especially when it was so empty inside their restaurant. All in all though, Yoshi's is an attractive space, serves delicious food, and has great service! I'd definitely come back again.

Altough I have been here a few times for splurgy cocktials, I have only eaten here once over four years ago. Despite the long-time last since my last visit, the divine taste of the gnocchi is still on my mind. I also remember enjoying my lamb dish thoroughly. The ambiance is first rate and reminds me of many high-end bars in London. The only downside is that it's opresseviely expensive. Be sure to go here when someone else is paying!
