   We love Izanami even tho it’s a fusion restaurant. They do a good job of maintaining the essence of the Japanese flavor and aesthetic, unlike so many other Japanese/Asian fusion restaurants in existence. A great dining experience.

   The food was spectacular. Our waiter had to create an ad hoc pitcher to heat our Sake because the restaurant stopped using them. Really? If it matters, and it should, take your own. Maybe they'll get so embarrassed they'll bring them back. We got fuzzy water instead of still on our second pitcher, and Nigiri though we ordered Sashimi. I'd definitely go back, but I'd bring my own tokkuri tall sake carafe, and keep and eye on what the help delivers. Your just not going to find food as close to authentic within 100 miles. .

    Nice special occasion place - super fun when combined with services at Ten Thousand Waves (come on down to the restaurant in your spa kimono!). We came to celebrate a friend's birthday - INCREDIBLE sake menu. Servers explain all. Presentation is as meticulous as one comes to expect from a Japanese-inspired kitchen. Loved our booth out on the portal (indoors) where we watched the snow fall. Magical experience.

    Amazing ambience and food! Highly recommend trying the wagyu on the hot stone. Truly delicious!!

    IzanamiResponded 7 days agoThank you for your visit. There are so many wagyu in Japan, including Kobe wagyu. Every 5 years, there are Wagyu Olympics in Japan - Miyazaki won a couple of times on top prize for beef quality. We use Miyazaki A5 class wagyu for our ishiyaki (hot stone). Please come back soon. domo arigato gozaimashita.

    Love this place, this is my 3rd time back. The service was outstanding. Food was creative, delicious and arrived very quickly. The hamachi was the best we’ve ever had, and the cucumber avocado salad was fabulous. Setting could not be better, we were blessed with snow the whole meal. Spectacular!

    Food was pretty tasty. We sat outside in the heated patio, which was great until a very drunk group (two couples) began to sexually harass a male waiter and even began to ask a woman at another table if she thought the waiter was attractive. The group was so loud that I could not hear my wife that I was seated next to. The noise level made it impossible to enjoy our dinner despite the great service we received from our waitress. We decided to cut our dinner short as the drunken harassment and yelling was more than we could handle. We wish someone would have stepped in and stopped serving this group alcohol. Unfortunately, we were not the only group bothered by this inconsiderate group of humans. Before we departed, the group ordered and was served an additional bottle of wine.

    The hostess very perfunctory … non appreciative of our $200 condiment purchase & minamally accommodating on main dining seating. She could have offered a time line on main dining seating. Additionally a terse comment made about food coming out as prepared by a server. Both situations could have been communicated with greater hospitality.

    Izanami is one of our favorites. The food is consistently excellent, innovative and well presented. The only downside today was the server was not very attentive and did not explain the dishes very well. His attitude was of disinterest and disengagement.

    I go to Izanami all the time. This was the first time I got kushiyake (meat and vegetables grilled on skewers). Fantastic, although I prefer some of the other food - chirashizushi (sashimi rice bowl), burrata salad, roasted mushrooms, grilled eggplant, Brussels sprouts with pork belly and jalapeños, fried tofu, I could go on and on. Great selection of sake and small but adequate selection of wine and beer.

    Had dinner for our anniversary. Food was delicious but the service was subpar. Our male tall older server wasn’t friendly at all with us only when he introduced himself at first. Seemed like he got bugged over us not ordering alcoholic drinks. Other than that the food was delicious.

    We were seated in the small enclosed porch with tables on both side of the aisle. The room was full of smoke and clearly you know it is a problem because of the air filter near the door. I asked to be moved because the particulates were triggering asthma and was told that wasn’t possible. Windows were opened at an empty table which helped until another party arrived and ordered the same dish that creates the smoke. Honestly, install a proper air filtration system or don’t serve the dish that creates the smoke in that room. Or reseat people with asthma.
