I don't have any photos of this dining experience. I've tried to look for some on the net but haven't found any as yet due to the fact that this restaurant doesn't have a website. It's more of a tapas style restaurant I think. But that's fantastic because entrees are always the tastiest meals and it's always more fun to share many small dishes than to be stuck with just one large one. We did order one main, a teriyaki steak which was so delicious. It was a little fatty for my liking and I found myself having to cut out some chunks of fat, but other than that it was very nice.
Service: 4/5
The service was good and the food was very fast. The restaurant has two parts to it. I've only been in the main area and always thought the second was just for functions or just as a cafe part. But they were quite full when we came on a Wednesday night (the few times I've been before it was relatively quiet), and we didn't have a booking but they let us sit in the "cafe" area. I thought that since we weren't in the main restaurant area we would be forgotten about and the service would be slow but I was wrong.
I do think the owner is a little strange which is why I have given them a 4/5, and the waitresses were a little in-your-face for my liking, but some people like that. They were all friendly though.

I actually really liked the food, but was a little disappointed by the desserts. I chose the crepe dessert (crepes layered with cream) because I had it once before and it was absolutely heavenly! My friend told me that their pastry chef had left and the desserts weren't as nice anymore, so I had to try it out to see, and sadly she was right. The crepes were too thick and the cream wasn't sweet enough or the right texture. My friends liked it though, probably because they didn't know how it tasted before! The green tea cake was too powdery.
The mains / tapas dishes were delicious though! You had the option of making your salad "crunchy" by adding fried wonton skins to it, which we did. Such a good decision! Sushi - tasty as always. Presentation was also very nice so I was pretty happy, even though the desserts weren't that tastiest, hence 4/5. I might stick to just dishes next time I come.
