I was so excited to celebrate my wife's birthday at Matsuhisa! She and I both love Japanese and Matsuhisa looks great online. When we walked in we were so pleased by the wonderful mix of old and modern, and everyone looked like they were having a great time. The manager welcomed us. The hostess walked us back... right next to the bathroom. Not good. I was in a coat and tie and my wife in a beautiful dress. So bad start, but the place was so nice and at first we didn't realize that we were the table closest to the bathroom until the traffic lane got busy. So we ordered. The waitress was good and helped us with the menu. We are very experienced Japanese food eaters - from San Francisco to Korea to New York. Their menu is somewhat custom for some of the special dishes they have - which is great but it is helpful to have someone guide. Mainly we enjoyed what we had except for the huge pile of arugula that was supposed to be a salad. Otherwise portions were sadly very small. So we're sitting there with this huge pile of salad and a few other starter dishes and I was eager for the Miso Black Cod to finally arrive. Just before serving it the attendant rushes over and clears all the side dishes away! What! They serve the fish with no side dishes. Ok the fish was good - not as good as in Oahu, but ok. It would have been more enjoyable if we could have eaten our other food with it - fail. Overall totally ho-hum and sub-par experience. Not going back. We both enjoyed our cocktails from the bar - nice job. Forget to mention the $55 for parking in the garage for a couple hours - no validation offered.

Was good as it usually is but the quality seems to have dropped a bit and meal was a bit rushed. Felt like the volume through the restaurant has decreased the quality and special experience of it.

Food was good quality, but not special. Improperly trained servers compared to past experiences. Disjointed teams and robotic explanations of dishes . Wanted it to be special, it just wasn’t.

Amazing as always! We all had the Omakasa and every course was an experience. The service was impeccable with the appropriate wait between courses. We had beautiful views of Vail mountain from our table

Matsuhisa was a very popular recommendation and I have to give the staff credit for doing a fantastic job with service, both our waitress and the hostess who accommodated us with an alternative reservation time. The food was delicious, but definitely (even for Vail) lacked value in my opinion. The black cod was amazing & thoroughly enjoyed the volcano roll. Drinks were also very well crafted! Would recommend for a special occasion, maybe more an appetizer type spot for my palate, but I’ve had better sushi in Japan.
