Exceptional overall. VERY pricey. Felt a bit rushed but it was Christmas Eve and we were a little late. Still… Love the sommelier! Emperors cut was delicious. Cooked perfectly. Enough for a table of 5. Caviar service pretty good but stingy with the blinis. Brussels sprouts with gochujang, DELICIOUS. Soy minionette for oysters- not my favorite. Broiled oysters, a sad miss. May make this an annual Christmas Eve event. It will take all year to save for it. But what fun!

Excellent experience. Lunchtime parking was readily available at 11:45. I was seated promptly and, as indicated by the valet parking lot, there were few other diners. Surprising because I think the place is generally pretty busy, but I went on 12/23. I had the blackened Texas redfish. It was piping hot when it was served and was excellent. Service was excellent (there when we needed it but not overbearing). Price was reasonable for fresh seafood. Recommended. Excellent place for fresh seafood.
