We were lucky enough to get a seat at the downstairs bar which. We had

bar and chef all to ourselves, with the exception of three young girls.
It
just happens that they were the Olsen twins and a friend. Now, the sushi
was
amazing, but the company wasn't bad either!


I liked being downstairs at that bar, since it was a more quiet and
intimate setting. The Olsen twins. Sweet! 178 days until they are
legal Were they drinking?

Funny enough, thats the FIRST question everyone asks.... In fact they were
not. We offered our chef a drink (which I always do) and he politely took us
up on it. We asked the Twins if we could get them anything and they delcined
(also politely) and said that they really don't drink.



WHat else did you have? Anything special or in season? Uni?
Unfortunatly my comrads were not as hungry as I was so we only had a few
courses.... I'll try and remember
He did a seared toro with some kind of house-made garlic sauce, chives and
ponzu
Fluke with lemon and roe (and ponzu)
Flounder sashimi with (you guessed it, ponzu) and something else... can't
remember
I had some GREAT uni and fresh octopus, but on one else joined
ebi and the heads (one of my faves, but a little too "menu" )
Horse Mackeral which was AMAZING, first time I've had anything other than
atlantic Spanish mackeral... WOW!




It's my 2nd fav, doesn't beat Taka Sushi in Aspen (unless your unlucky

enough to have an American chef there).

It's my top favorite place that is still open. Kantaro in SF was my
top favorite, but closed.

Just got word that I may have to be in NYC next week for work. I'll call
asap for a reservation with Keisan.
