    This was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. The staff were friendly, but not overbearing. The drinks were excellent. This definitely hit our list as one of the best restaurants in Durham.

    Superb and unique cuisine. There are some rules about ordering food that are common in Japan but American customers might be confused or annoyed. I generally like to take my daughter out to eat, but not at this restaurant, because she does not want to order the same food that I want to order. It is expensive, but in my opinion it is equal to or better than some big city restaurants that cost twice as much - exquisite ingredients are expensive! And it is much less costly than traveling to Japan for a similar experience. There is a smaller tempura tasting menu that is quite reasonably priced, and excellent, if you do not want to splurge on the kaiseki menus. M Tempura is one of the very best dining experiences in the Triangle.

    Exquisite. The food and ambience were perfection and an apropos segue after seeing a Mexican opera in Raleigh! Our mesero, Alberto, was friendly, knowledgeable, and appropriately attentive. Drinks were balanced and delicious. The Restaurant Week tasting menus was delicious. Best ceviche I’ve ever had in the US (so far) and certainly in NC. All of the dishes were beautiful, arrived quickly, and full of flavor. Looking forward to coming back!
