The atmosphere is great while a little bourgeouis...
Lobster and Shrimp as a starter with lots of home made Ketchup, good and a little trashy.
The waiter was a great performer and comedian.
I made the wrong choice: Filet mignon au poivre. Just peppered meat in a brown sauce. Better would have been the Sirloin Stake...
Choice of deserts included carrot cake and cheese cake. Both delicious and devastating. Felt like a snowman afterwards and digested for 2 days at least...

A real Jewel... highly recommended. Not to be missed... Appetizers Exotic Japanese Mushrooms "En Papillote" Steamed In Sake and Yuzu Sushi Sea Eel (melts on your tongue) Barracuda (with a delicious lemon sauce) Jack Mackerel Tartar in Shiso leave

I took the Omakase chef's selection of Sushi. The three sushi mentioned above were heavenly affairs, the other 7 or so were delicious, but not as mouth-watering.

The fluke sashimi appetizer was very good, but not as amazing as the mushrooms...

The white miso soup is good, a little bit too retained for my taste.

What I like to check out soon....

Probabaly tonite, we will check out FRANKIES SPUNTINO

A mexican place that looks very rough and candle light, vivid and loud, but beautiful.

NY mag says:
The glittering interior is probably worth the hike to the East Village (the name means “jewel box”), and despite the constant migration of sushi chefs, Jack and Grace Lamb’s unlikely restaurant remains the consensus choice among sushi snobs for the best sushi downtown even though it’s often impossible to find a space at the packed sushi bar. — Adam Platt Recommended Dishes Tuna toro tartare, $18; chef's omakase, $50
