In case you haven’t heard, Makoto has moved to an awesome new space on the 3rd floor.

More seats at the sushi counter. And of course, the food and drink will be as fabulous as ever.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Never a disappointment, my dinner was so good last night sorry I have no pictures but Makoto is so consistent. I had Salmon truffle, Kobe hot rock, spicy scallop roll, rock shrimp, hot crab roll, and amazing cocktails that were light and delicious. Can’t go wrong with anything. Go enjoy yourself

I put on the notes that it was our one year anniversary and our first date was there. The expectation felt like it didn’t matter because the hostess didn’t great us or wished us a happy anniversary, and the service felt like we were just another table. It was unfortunate feeling because we expected to have an opportunity to celebrate, but it fell short.
