Uni was delicious. Great food, and good pacing of the menu. The waiter was pretty pushy trying to upsell the table and it certainly edged on tacky. In addition, he was rather condescending when we asked for deviations to the kitchens planning, such as extra soy sauce or ginger. That being said, all of the bides were phenomenal. Our highlight of the night was the oysters, which are a must try!
