    Service and food was spot-on, highly recommend. I would have give five stars for ambiance but it was so dark at our first table, we ended up moving to the sushi bar where the lights were bright - and able to watch the chefs in action! Recommend they have the LED table lights for guests who need them.

    The first time we ate at Makoto it was a magical experience. This time it was not. I ordered the uni donburi, which I'd loved last time. However, everyone else had finished eating by the time my dish arrived, even though I'd asked about it a couple of times during dinner. They said it was a dish that took a long time to prepare. I said they should have warned me. And it was noodles (over rice last time, which is what donburi is supposed to be). So I don't know what was going on. But I finally convinced them to be apologetic, and they gave us a free dessert. I don't want to trash the restaurant (the brussells sprouts were yummy for example), I just want people to be warned.
