Meal:	Dinner
Overall:	Pretty good (^o^)
Summary:	Fancy smancy Japanese cuisine
Top Dish:	Toro Tartare

Tips: Make your reservation on Open Table; it's a pretty good sized restaurant so you should be able to get a table. Morimoto is a beautiful facility, take some time to look around the bar area and check out the restroom (esp. women's restroom). Chef Morimoto was in the restaurant in person the night we went. Our waiter told us that he's there often and usually walks around to talk to customers. Keep on a lookout for him when you go!

Toro Tartare

Creatively presented in a rectangular shallow box, the different dippings are quite yummy.

Hirame, I think...

Watch out for the extra wasabi already on the fish!
