    I’ve had a great experience at Sato before. This time was an absolute bomb. There was a very loud party hosted in the main bar area, so the ambiance was an utter disaster. The host was wonderful, and the chef was ok but truly lacked the caring approach in preparing and introducing our food this time. He just didn’t seem that engaged. The fish itself was just not that tasty. If this was a normal sushi dinner, I wouldn’t have complaints. But at nearly $600, the bar for this kind of Omakase experience is very high and our meal fell well short.

    The wagyu add-on is a huge mistake. Maybe I should have asked how it was going to be prepared, but broiled in a soup broth was very unappealing and a letdown. But overall, nothing really stood out. Don't get me wrong, nothing was bad (outside of the wagyu), but nothing was amazing. At this price point, you do end up expecting something noteworthy.

    The most incredible dining experience I have ever had. My fiancé and I went here after getting engaged and were blown away by our omakase meal. The service, ambiance, drinks, truly everything was spectacular.

    Fantastic experience. We came about an hour early and just asked to sit at the bar, but the immediately let the chef know we were early and seated us. It was our 15 year anniversary, so we were looking for something really special and they did not disappoint. The service was very attentive, they both congratulated us and brought us some extras to celebrate our anniversary, as well as giving detailed explanations of each dish, the background of the fish and how they prepared it. The food itself was, across the board spectacular. I ran out of superlatives to use but the food was clearly well thought out, it was subtle but clearly was composed and each piece of sashimi had a point of view and a taste/feeling that they were trying to convey. I had the optional Unagi bowl which was also spectacular. I figured while I was there I should try it once and it also did not disappoint. As far as a no holds barred, spare no expense experience it was one of the best I've ever had.
