The Otoro and Uni combo is a craft that demands mastery. This presentation from the chefs rivals the best I had in Tokyo.

We looked forward to visiting as the restaurant was chosen as a Bib Gourmand by the Michelin Guide. In fact it was like a wine bar. We were satisfied with the service by the staff. The only complaint was the food volume, which was too small. It doesn't mean they have a good cost-performance.

I enjoyed our time at Quimby where I wanted a nice, quiet evening with my son since I was only in town for a night. The staff were nice and courteous, the food was delicious, and they surprised me with a free cheesecake dessert for my bday!!
