Celebrated Christmas Day in the beautiful setting of Izanami and We were blown away by the Prefix 5 course dinner - the highlight was the best ever lobster bisque with garlic toast and chunks of lobster, the scallops and the lamb. Service was outstanding and not rushed. Love this restaurant. It is consistently excellent food.

This is where we go when we want to treat ourselves and spend a really special evening with friends or family. It never disappoints. The decor and atmosphere is lovely. The food is great and perfect for sharing. We love the yellowtail roll, the fried oysters, the pork ribs - to name only a few. the servers are pleasant, friendly, personable without being intrusive. Secret tip: for some reason it's not on the menu, but they offer sake flights and that's a fun way to try out different ones. Our only problem yesterday, and this was not the fault of the restaurant, was the unruly, extremely shrill, probably drunk group of six people at the neighboring table. It was impossible to converse or even relax. This group should have gone to a bar instead, they were ill-placed in this serene environment and they were super annoying. Fortunately the staff were able to find us a different table and it became a beautiful evening as usual.

Fabulous on every level. Cooking the beef on the stone was cool. Love the surprise in the middle of the matcha cake.
