Words cannot do justice to the incredible meal I enjoyed with six friends at ES last night. Every dish was delicious and innovative, yet not "weird." Ever have white cheese ice cream? Don't knock it until you've tried it. Some plates were almost traditionally French, but always had a unique twist. Delicious fish but "salted" with an anchovy glaze. Fresh asparagus, not with traditional hollandaise, but with a Scottish cheddar sauce. Not the slightest morsel was left on any single plate by the time it was retrieved. I lost track of the number of dishes that landed on our table over more than two hours. Each was delivered with a short explanation of the dish and usually the origin of the ingredients in your choice of English, French, or Japanese. The service was perfect! Very professional yet friendly and not the least bit intimidating. Two of my party had some dietary restrictions which were individually accommodated but one of the several desserts contained bananas which one guest could not consume. Chef Takayuki Honjo brought her an alternative to our table that must have been just as good, judging from her expression and the fact that it disappeared entirely, like everything else. Given the quality, originality, and presentation of the food along with the impeccable service, I'd have to say that it was also an excellent bargain. I can guarantee any food lover will enjoy the meal. Unfortunately, you will be on your own trying to find such interesting company to share the experience. read more
