The worst part is deciding what you want. This last time we went with the omekase, let our waitress choose, and it was perfect. She picked things we never would have thought about, yet everything was SO good. She also did a great job of explaining every course/her thoughts on it/what we should expect. It was such a great experience. The cocktails are always fantastic, no notes. Seriously, the best splurge meal in the city. SO SO good.

We ordered a few sashimi and we expected them to be a little fancier. That was on us. The server as with Indo, above and beyond nice, I think they are accustomed to a lot of questions. Ours was amazing, she said "we don't fork shame here" I fork shame, but she refused. Good for her! I also ordered a cocktail. I would arrive to Sado just for this cocktail, it had a coconut pillow top, that was reminiscent of a marshmallow. Delightful compliment to my savory dinner. I was very surprised at the size of Sado on the inside, we made a turn into the seating then a second turn deeper into seating. I did not get to check out the bathrooms, which disappointed me, but the ambiance was very dark and romantic, also unexpected, there were several tables of friend groups.

Quick and high quality sushi here at the Ritz Lobby Bar. Nothing says "I might be high maintenance…read morebut I'm also in a rush" quite like knocking back high-quality oysters and sushi in a freshly remodeled luxury hotel lobby. It's giving sophisticated speed date and I'm here for it. Let's start with the remodel. It's clean, it's shiny, it smells like expensive hand lotion. You'll probably want to Instagram your drink. Or your shoes. Or both. But pro tip, and I cannot stress this enough: grab the seats by the fireplace. Do it. I don't care if it's July. Those seats say "I know what I'm doing." Now to the food. The oysters are slurp-worthy. Briny little ocean hugs. The sushi is legit, considering you're in a lobby. But let's not beat around the spicy tuna ha! the Clayton roll is the moment. Whoever rolled it clearly had divine inspiration or at least watched a lot of Chef's Table. Come for the oysters, stay for the fireplace, and pretend you're on a sushi-fueled power move.

We were looking for a good sushi spot for Happy Hour, and this one popped up and looked like a…read moregreat option. Spoiler: it was! Also, it goes until 6PM which is a steal. We came by Friday after work and were surpised how empty it was for Clayton. We sat there for probably an hour or so and had a couple drinks. I just drank the mango crush martinis, my husband had a japanese manhatten before switching over to the martini with me. The drinks were FANTASTIC, very well made, and the Happy Hour price made them so justifiable. Probably one of the better deals in the area for the quality of drink it was. We split a couple appetizers and a couple Happy Hour rolls as well. Everything was SO GOOD. The waitress was super helpful in making recommendations on rolls, and she killed it. We ended up eating enough that we didn't even need dinner. Great spot for Happy Hour, would highly recommend. We will absolutely be back.

Stopped in for takeout and was promptly met with, "how many"?…read more Taken aback I replied, "just myself, but this will be taken away". Then she asked if I needed a menu....sigh... While I stood at the bar to peruse the lengthy menu the lady walked near me several times in haste with a notepad prompting my order. It wasn't busy but I felt rushed. I placed the order and watched the order be prepared within a few minutes. When the lady brought the receipt I noticed 15% gratuity was added. Appalling, especially since I wasn't offered water, a seat while I waited, nor was I greeted with a hello, a smile or thanked for coming in. Maybe the automatic gratuity is the very reason for the lack of hospitality here. The lack of hostility is the very reason I will never return. P.S. the sushi was decent. There are 100 alternatives I'd rather frequent for a pleasant experience. ~Christy

We…read moredid the nine course omakase and I would highly recommend it if you enjoy sushi and intimate dining experiences. Some of the bites are definitely an acquired taste (this meal was my first exposure to eating liver and sea urchin - both very bold and unique flavors) but getting to try new foods was something I really liked about this meal. The restaurant is beautiful, warm, and bright. You get to sit right up at the counter with just 5 other people when you do the nine-course dinner. Each course is prepared in front of you so it's neat to be able to see the chefs prepare the next course while you're eating. When you book the reservation, you get the choice to pick between tempura and yakizakana for one of the courses, and while the tempura was good (which I ordered), the yakizakana was excellent (which my husband ordered). They do a great job explaining what everything is that you're eating, how to eat it, and which order to eat it in. And even though it's all small bites, we left dinner feeling full and satisfied. We will absolutely be back.

Amazing dinner experience!! The atmosphere was intimate, especially when we were their only guests…read morewhen we dined here. The waiter was warm and knowledgeable, telling us stories and background on the food and beverage we had. His father is the chef and his mom does all the flower arrangements at the restaurant. It's beautifully decorated and sophisticated. There were two of us and we went with the 4-course $100 Omakase, which had 2 options and we did one of each: Omakase Nigiri and Chirashi. The food here was delicious and I can't remember all the items I had, but it started with a Tsukidashi tasting followed by a soup. Between the two options, I would opt for Omakase Nigiri next time. The wine and sake pairing was terrific, which introduced us to so many new beverages. Dessert is a must, especially at $5. The matcha mousse was airy and fantastic. You can dine by reservation only, and it's easy to make reservations on Tock, but need to plan ahead. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2026

It's an order at the counter and you get an alarm that rings when your food is ready. The restaurant itself is not large, but there are plenty of tables and seats for small and larger groups.
