    I’ve been to Uchi twice-first time sat at the bar and the second, we went for happy hour. I did a la carte and everything was amazing. The bartender was really good, enhanced the experience. He made great japanese whiskey recommendations and sushi/sashimi recs too. The happy hour omakase was just ok for me and my friend. I wasn’t blown away but they had a few great plates. I would definitely do a la carte on my future visits. Great food, great drinks, great space. A bit pricey but which good elevated sushi place isn’t?

    We have been to Morimoto’s 3 times with a fairly large group. Everything was excellent. The drinks, the food and the service was fantastic. This time we had children with us. They were very accommodating and even brought the kids to watch the food preparation. We all enjoyed our meals including the delicious dessert options. We highly recommend this great restaurant.
