What a great valued omakase! I'd say we provided the entertainment for the night , started out with just our party of 3 but then I feel like we semi incorporated/chatted with the next diner in too. Hope he enjoyed the random chatter! Normally should finish up faster but I guess between chef and us the dinner took a little over an hour since there was no one else. Still some good bites to return to for such a good value. read more

Loved it. Stick with the omakase and it is absolutely worth it. The little extra on top makes it outstanding and different. Try it you will not be disappointed. read more

A fast paced but nicely executed omakase experience in Rice Village -- Didn't have a bite I didn't love here! The pace was a little fast for me because i'm a talker but you cannot beat the value. There is a BYOB option with a cork fee (maybe $20?) but they did have sake available for purchase as well. We parked in the garage attached/behind the restaurant for a few dollars. Definitely recommend checking them out! read more

This spot deserves five stars due to the excellent service, great food, and a welcoming and unique atmosphere. I came at the first dinner time slot for the omakase (sushi tasting menu). I was the only one there, so I got a personalized experience from beginning to end. The quality of the ingredients are incredible. The fish is so fresh and has amazing flavor. Plus the paired additions made it delicious. The oysters are also incredible. As someone who doesn't normally like oysters, this was one of the best dishes of the night with the Asian spices/citrus flavors. The tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and scallops were all so delicious. The tuna was ultra fatty (otoro), the salmon and yellowtail were bright flavors, and the Hokkaido scallops were incredibly sweet. The temaki roll at the end is the perfect close to the meal. Service was excellent and the chef had great conversations, explained each dish in detail, and was exceptionally skilled in his presentations. This restaurant has such a unique atmosphere. The bar seating is behind a hidden portrait door, and the other seating is in a small hallway designed to look like a Japanese alley. This 12-course tasting menu is competitively priced at $75 and was worth it. They also do an izakaya dinner (skewers) for $90. Omakase dinners last 45 minutes, and izakaya dinners last 60 minutes. Reservations should be made on Resy as there is limited seating. Please note there are cancellation visa associated if you cancel less than 24 hours in advance. read more

Solid sushi experience. $60 is a fantastic lunch price for 12 pieces/dishes all in 30 minutes. Book online, and you arrive at the small NFT art gallery, there you wait until the hostess calls you in. We were the only ones for that seating that day, so we had the chef and hostess/manager Michelle's full attention. They were fun to chat with and made for a great conversation. The pieces come fast, though I wonder if it's as fast if the counter were full. Very solid selection of fish. Chef does a good job of adding flavor to complement the fish, very Asian/Viet-forward given what seems to be his background. If you're still hungry, or just want a 2nd serving of something ($5 each, though it might vary by piece), they do tell you when it's last call. It's a good place if you want solid sushi in a sit-eat-then-move-on type of fashion, but personally I found 30 minutes to be a bit too fast to be able to fully enjoy the experience, especially if dining with others. Solo? Perfect. read more

This was an awesome experience. My date booked the evening and the food and service was exceptional. Tyson and another gentlemen took care of us. We ate 10 courses and had two bottles of sake. I would be lying if I said I remembered the names. That's how much fun we were having. The scallop was so delicious as was everything else. Run don't walk for a one of a kind experience. read more

I visited Sushi by Hidden for their $75 per-person omakase The food itself was the highlight. Out of the 13 courses, the Chutoro, Hotate, and Engawa stood out as my favorites, each one incredibly flavorful with textures and toppings that really elevated the bite. When the fish was good, it was really good. However, the overall experience felt rushed. We were in and out in about 35-40 minutes, which made the meal feel more transactional than immersive. Additionally, service and performance were virtually non-existent. There wasn't much interaction, explanation, or anything particularly memorable from the staff. If you're strictly after solid sushi at a relatively approachable omakase price, it delivers. But if you're looking for a more engaging or thoughtful dining experience, this might fall short. read more

A more intimate, but quick, omakase experience that was honestly well worth the price ($65 for a 12 course) and you can order more from the à la carte menu. When you arrive, someone will meet you in the lobby/waiting area and you'll be seated right at your reservation time. There are only 10 seats, but our reservation time only had a total of 4 people, which can make it a little awkward but either way, the food was amazing! The chef and staff were all really friendly and knowledgeable though! My absolute favorite was "hamachi" but honestly, everything was absolutely delicious. Definitely will come back again! read more

We have returned to Sushi by Hidden over and over again due to their creative menu, impeccable service, and overall amazing experience! We are impressed every single time and absolutely love the flavor pairing and techniques that the chefs have mastered. Because dinner only takes 45 minutes, we always enjoy going nearby for dessert afterwards since there are some fun dessert and beverage options nearby in Rice Village! Can't wait to come back! read more

This place was incredible! The fish was so fresh and I love how they do a chef's choice menu. My favourite was flounders fin (Hirame). The staff were so friendly! I also love the location and ambiance. I wish it were a longer time though, since it is super quick about 30 minutes. I do like the convenience, but wish it were a bit longer to really enjoy each piece. read more

Excellent omakase experience! Yes it is only 45 minutes but I actually liked the pace because I'm a fast eater haha. The staff is great, it feels personal because it's a small space where the staff are right in front of you the whole time. Fantastic value, $75 for I think 11 courses. Added some à la carte at the end which I highly recommend. Food was excellent quality, had some amazing fish! Will absolutely come back. read more

When you first walk in, it appears like a posh art gallery with tons of pictures of NFTs and dangling flowers from the ceiling. Then a hidden door opens and you step into a small room, with 10 seats at a counter. There, you meet the chef, who introduces you to the 12-course menu. He explains each fish and flavor and how to properly enjoy the meal, such as eating with your fingers rather than chopsticks and flipping the fish so you taste the fish and seasonings first. After that, you have the option to try some of their a la carte options. In summary, truly a well-done experience. The meal is quick, no more than 30 minutes, and while the portions are small, it leaves you satisfied but not too full, and with just enough room for dessert. I had their yuzu harmony mocktail, which really paired well with all the dishes. Each dish was a different type of fish with a different type of seasoning. They specialize in dry aged fish, so each piece was tender, no fishy taste, that melted in your mouth. Even for not being a big fish person, each bite was delicious. The different seasonings they used worked well, with a range of spicy and savory, while also adding interesting textures and crisp to the bites. I wouldn't be able to tell you which was my favorite dish. The chutoro sashimi and the scallop foie of the a la carte menu were also fantastic. The service was great, truly what you would expect in a restaurant that only sits 10 at a time. It was a very personalized experience. And for the price of $60 per person for the set, it's worth it. Our bill ended up on the higher side ($600+ for 6) due to drinks and al la carte, but overall, was very impressed. Will definitely need to be back! read more

This cozy sushi spot is nestled in rice university. I came for the dinner omakase and was not disappointed. I loved how each reservation was just for your party. It felt like we rented out the place. They offer byob and chilled our bottle of wine. The omakase experience was 45 minutes so I felt a little rushed, but the service was still good. The restaurant has a picture worthy entrance and they play great music. read more

This is a really cool concept! You have to reserve your spot in advance, and each group there are six people. Make sure you're on time, because they start right on time and there are usually groups right after you. I like how the entryway looks like a art museum. And then the door is hidden behind a painting. She is really knowledgeable about what type of fish and what flavors complemented it well. I thought the timing of each dish was nice, and not too rushed. There were a lot of fish that I tried that I have never even heard of before. I like how there were many different textures in each dish. They pay meticulous attention to the plating and making it look nice. This is a really great value. It seemed like a personal experience, even though there are a few other people in the room with you! Parking is a little hard to find, there is some parallel parking in the nearby streets. read more

Valentine's Day at this cute sushi spot could been amazing. The food was a hit 7 out of the 12 courses. An amazing effort was put into the decor , inside and out! However between comments and exclusionary practices- it was enough to almost leave. Asking me (a Latina) if I am attending a very intimate dinner on Valentine's Day with my sister (my partner is asian ) is a crazy ask. We don't even look alike! And talking, asking questions and having a toast with every single couple except us was noted. Fortunately, we won't be back. read more

This place is small and a hidden speakeasy place so make sure you make reservations. I think they can have up to 10 guests at this location. The vibe is so serene and you have hosts that are very attentive. The food is curated in front of you and explained in detailed as what you are getting. You learn about how to properly eat your dish and learn exactly what is in your dish. The hosts made it special for my birthday by giving me a free alcoholic beverage. The menu gets changed up every so often. You're allowed to BYOB with a $20 charge. This place was one of the best tastings I have ever had next to uchi sushi. read more

This sushi Omakase that is very affordable is also hidden which definitely gives off exclusive private vibes. The setting is very intimate with a maximum of 12 people I think being seated at a time and it's very important to book reservations in advance. We were absolutely in love with every sushi and Nigiri piece that came out. The chefs were very entertaining and interacted with us the whole time! The only thing to keep in mind is that they have a very strict time limit, and so it can feel a little rushed at times, however the food and the sake makes up for that. It was a great day experience and I really recommend ! read more

Want an omakase, but don't have 2.5 hours to dedicate to it? This place is perfect! The service was quick, but it wasn't overwhelming. I felt there was an appropriate amount of time between courses so I didn't feel rushed. The chefs were not as engaging, due to the time crunch, but I love that they still made light conversation. The nigiris were creative with heavy influence from Vietnamese or Mexican flavors and I appreciated that each piece had a unique and appetizing smell. We had 13 courses with 2 extra pieces. -Masu: Fatty and acidic. -Chawanmushi: The crab brings the most flavor, the soup is acidic, and there was a good, sweet crunch. -Akami: Mediterranean inspired with basil and pesto, and surprisingly, it works! -Scallop: Pungent smell, strong wasabi kick, but I liked the creativity of the condensed milk sauce with rice crispy topping. -Sagoshi: Mexican inspired with aguachile, -Shima aji: One of the best pieces. It had a good shiso flavor and the fish was so tender. -Hirami: Acidic and tart, although the crisp provides a nice crunchy texture. -Engawa: This was a standout. It was so rich and buttery with a good crunch from the fried anchovy, and it came out warm. -Hamachi: Vietnamese inspired with fish sauce, mango, and fried shallots. -Sake: Their take on lox. I was pleasantly surprised by its toned down smokiness. -Chutoro: Another standout. It was so fatty, but the ginger mellowed it out. -Chilean sea bass: This was my least favorite. It was too salty and the fish was overcooked. A la carte: -Engawa truffle: It was very rich with a strong truffle smell. Perfect end-of-the-meal bite -Scallop foie: This was disappointing. The scallop had no flavor and there was no contrast to the richness of the foie. It could've used some wasabi salt or even some sweetness or acid to brighten it. Overall, had an excellent experience. Parking on the street was easy. The lobby had all kinds of art displayed on the wall, although I wish there was seating. There's a small bar in the hallway to finish your drink. The waitress was hilarious. She kept pouring our sake shots and was so fun to converse with. Would definitely come back for an express omakase experience! read more

Why 5 stars? Because this was my favorite meal of 2024 so far. --- --- --- It was the wife's birthday and she was close to declaring that she didn't want to do anything at all, which would been a real bummer. Fortunately, she got really into researching the best Omakase spot, and the place she landed on was Sushi By Hidden. They offered it for lunch and for significantly cheaper than any other place, while not sacrificing quality, according to reviewers. Spoiler alert: The reviewers were correct. Quality was not sacrificed. As we walked in (FYI, the lobby looks like an art gallery, not a restaurant), someone was there to greeted us by name. It turned out, we were the only people there for Omakase on a Tuesday afternoon. We had two seats in the middle of the bar, which had about 8-10 seats in total. We were quickly greeted by the chef and offered a free cocktail as a birthday present. We both ordered the mango option, which was the perfect thing to pair with our sushi. The omakase itself had 11 servings. My plan was to rate each one individually, but it turns out, I can do this very efficiently: All 11 items were 5-stars. If you ask me what my favorite one was, my answer is: all of them. Legitimately, every bite was special in its own way. I wouldn't change a thing about the experience. We also added on a Patty Melt at the end of the experience, and no surprise, it was also amazing. The way they keep the costs down is that they really do limit you to 30 minutes. As soon as we were done with our last course, there were multiple subtle reminders (in a nice way) along the lines of "you don't have to go home but you can't stay here". We're only a few months into the year, but it's going to take something really special to dethrone Sushi by Hidden as the best food experience of 2024. read more

We were lucky enough to get the last service by Chef Jonathan. We had his Kobe fair well tour! And he made our experience amazing! We had recently had their parent restaurant Hidden Omakase and we enjoyed it but was recommended to try this joint for a lower price point and shorter meal. So for dinner they do 45 mins and they start on time so make sure you come a little early and take some pictures in the nft gallery out front. If you park it's to the left of the Italian restaurant and has no signage. Once seated they get started right on the dot. But even though it's a short service Jonathan explained what we were getting in great detail. We got better interaction here with the crew than at Hidden Omakase. It's a younger group and more fun and lively. The Engawa was the best thing I have ever eaten at any sushi restaurant. This thing is life changing. And you're able to get an extra piece as an a la carte add on. Do it!!! You will not regret it. My wife and I were so impressed, we will definitely be back and at this price point we can come more often. Best of luck on your next Journey chef Jonathan your skills will truly be missed here. read more

My friends and I snagged a lunch reservation, and it was more like a private experience! We were served the 12-course omakase for $60, as well as sake and an a la carte piece of scallop foie. Every piece was tasty, and the best one was the engawa (apparently a crowd favorite). We were in and out within the 30-minute time frame, and the lobby was a fun place to take photos. While this express omakase dining style isn't for everyone, I'd love to return with my other friends. read more

I've been to Sushi by Hidden twice and it's been a great experience every time. It's a quick affordably-priced 45 min omakase in Rice Village. Even though time is short, the sushi chefs take their time in explaining what we're getting and they're all fun and personable. My cousins and I had a great time. I can't remember everything we had. I will say the innovation in flavors was amazing. There were infusions of Tom yum flavoring, even pizza essence that somehow worked so well with the nigiri. I will definitely keep coming back to see what else they come up with in their omakase menu. read more

My partner surprised me for our anniversary an omakase dinner reservation at sushi by hidden! I have always heard great things about this restaurant so I was really excited to give it a try. The reservation he selected was for dinner and featured 13 courses that included 1 crudo, 10 nigiris, and 1 handroll for 45 minutes at the base price of $75. You could definitely tell that they had a system in place as all of the pieces came out one by one in an efficient manner. The chefs were very engaging, and were answering questions and making sure we were all having a good time! At one point, one of the chefs offered everyone a shot that was pretty good! In terms of taste, I really enjoyed the unique flavors they curated for each piece of fish. I thought it was very well curated and everything seemed to balance well. If you ever decide to eat here, be sure to get here on time as they are very prompt with the reservation times. We did street parking and paid $1.45 for 1 hour. You are given the option to order a la carte at the end, however I would take a glance at the menu ahead of time (or while eating) so you can have an idea of what you might like. Will definitely be back! Great experience. read more

The food is spectacular! The place is super cool and the staff was excellent. The speakeasy vibe is a great concept.

Best value omakase sushi in Houston. Amazing sushi with lighting fast service. You're in and out in about 30min even if you add on options. The quick turn keeps the price very reasonable. This is not a long drawn out "experience". This isn't for a first date or hanging out because you won't have time to chat. This is for people who just love to eat. It's nice and upscale without being too pretentious. You can appreciate the art without the chef grandstanding. The service and course progression is as effective and efficient as the Japanese train system. Or if you want a Texas analogy, it's as if the people who did the Chick-fil-a drive through did omakase sushi. Finding street parking is tricky unless you valet. You'll want to plan ahead and arrive early because they start on time. read more

Cool speakeasy concept! They are very strict with time, which I should have known for omakase, but something to keep in mind given that there is no designated parking lot (you can try to fund street parking or pay at the garage) and the restaurant is *hidden* inside of an art gallery ;) Omakase will start on the dot and last exactly 30 minutes. As someone else mentioned, they are very efficient which is great for focusing on the food but not ideal for catching up with friends. The sushi itself was all nigiri and pretty good - nothing that quite blew me away but I'm not an omakase expert. The first 4 items (Akami, Shima Aji, Hotate, Medai) had a spicy kick of wasabi. My favorites were the Masu, which was topped with dried strawberry, and the Chutoro (always love a good fatty nigiri). Was hoping the last item (Gindara) would be more flavorful but it was alright. read more

Sushi by Hidden is a cheaper, faster, more casual option in comparison to Hidden Omakase located behind a gallery wall painting to detract from random passing strangers peering in. Reservations online help you secure a spot here. Unlike Hidden's square 360° seating, Sushi's seating is down a line. You are asked pretty casually if you know how to eat sushi, almost inviting a know-it-all response (and therefore refrained from saying yes outright), and are taught the traditional way to eat. The pacing is quick, as this meal is meant to last anywhere between 30-45 minutes depending on which reservation option you choose. I've been getting more into the short under-one-hour omakase pacing instead of the 3 hour long song and dances at some, so I might be biased when saying the timing is pretty good. I'm in, I'm out, great quick dinner or lunch option. I added the uni toro for my a la carte option, and it was made very visually pleasing. The uni is from Santa Barbara, which is still good and appropriate for the price point. The general menu is quite standard, but nothing exceptionally out of this world. Nothing unique, nothing that'll transport you to Japan, but also nothing bad. You're gonna find some better fish at a lot of places, you're gonna find better rice and seaweed quality at a lot of places, and the fancy touches are also not very different. But the highlight is the casualness, the niceness of the staff and their penchant for conversation, the absence of snootiness, and the comfort to ACTUALLY have a conversation outside of the immediate food in front of you. You're not gonna leave here hating this place at all. I can envision this place being some Houston yuppie's standard lunch spot for a consistently good, quick, and fun meal. I'd recommend it. Didn't blow my mind but it was cute and fun and had a great atmosphere! read more

Sushi by Hidden is located in an unassuming place which appears to look like a gallery. However, upon opening the Mona Lisa painting frame, there is a dining area that seats about 12 people. As of right now, they are still awaiting for their alcohol license and are not serving alcohol yet. However, they do offer lychee mocktails, which are delicous and have a generous amount of lychee pieces. There were 12 pieces for the omakase, and they make it right in front of you. The chefs explain each nigiri piece as they hand them to you, and everything looked really fresh and clean. My favorite pieces were the suzuki, engawa, and akami. However, one of my nigiri had a fish scale in it. I also ordered the Patty Melt a la carte, which consisted of a handroll with wagyu and uni. The Patty Melt was okay and a tad bit chewier than I preferred. Because they have reservations in time slots, they really rush you at the end, and they said their thanks to insinuate the end of the meal right as I received and bit into my Patty Melt. Everyone that ordered a la carte were rushed to finish and chew their piece, as the chefs stand there awkwardly waiting for you to leave, which made it a damper on the mood a bit. Overall, the omakase is a great price for what you get compared to other locations with fresh fish and unique toppings. Being inside an "art gallery" or "hidden" place also make it a fun experience. However, make sure to get there early and keep in mind that there will be a group after, and you will have to leave promptly. read more

Right behind a small gallery of NFTs is a place with 10 seats for a 30 minute lunch. We were bought in a little before our reservation and introduced to how things would proceed. The 30 minutes are no joke because the pieces are being assembled asap. Don't worry about being a little late though they have the pieces for you ( from what i saw with people showing up a bit late). Overall what I expect from a 30min omakase. Good fish. Very little small talk with the chefs if any. So if you come for expecting a quick bite it's basically perfect. Fish was high quality as well. My favorite piece that everyone seems to enjoy is the engawa. Very fatty! There is a la carte from a set menu at the end. I wish I could order from what was on the set menu but choosing one from the a la carte is still a treat. 8.9/10 can see myself coming back for sure! read more

Hidden once agains provides great flavors with the freshest fish you can find. Sushi by Hidden is the 30 minute omakase experience you never knew you needed. Chef Jimmy and his team create amazing flavor combinations with the freshest fish dry aged to give you some of the best pierces of nigiri you'll eat. For $60/person, you get 10 pieces of nigiri prepared in front of you. Being this is a 30 minute meal, you definitely do not get the full omakase experience of each nigiri being completely prepared and explained in front of you, given the time restraint. Luckily they had just expanded to lunch when we came and we were the only ones here, so we got to ask plenty of questions to the chefs, making it feel a lot more personal. The nigiri itself is incredible. The flavor combinations they use are out of this world good. We ordered the wagyu a la cart and it was my favorite of the day. The flounder fin nigiri was also a top fav. With its mysterious entrance and clean, modern interior, this half hour omakase is definitely a fun time if you are looking for something quick and half the price of a typical omakase experience! read more

MUST MAKE A RESERVATION BEFORE YOU GO AND DONT BE LATE If you want 80% of the experience at less than 35% the price, then Sushi By Hidden is a great alternative to Hidden, their main and more expensive experience. The main detractor would be that the course is very carefully timed (30-45 minutes) and they will start without you. If you are late, they will save up your servings and serve it to you in bulk when you do get there. As far as omakases go, nothing out of the ordinary; however for $60 and the experience of a speak-easy style omakase, I think this is a great date / experience. Ordered: $60 Omakase experience Would I Recommend to Try? Yes Ambiance- 9/10 Food Taste- 8/10 Service- 8/10 (Chefs were young and interactive - they kept a tight ship but I didn't feel rushed) Date Worthy- 10/10 Value- 8/10 read more

Sushi by Hidden, combines two very well liked concepts. Sushi and Speakeasies. Can the two exists together, yes, a resounding yes they can and Hidden does that quite easily by taking the best of two worlds and adapting them in a format to enjoy. Atmosphere: Speakeasy and omakase like style. Meaning you'll get the exclusivity feeling of a speakeasy that's well hidden behind a (redacted), and the intimacy of a omakase with the chefs serving you fresh foods. Food: As stated above omakase style sushi, so expect fresh nigiri and various takes on fish. The menu changes each experience but standouts to me where the salmon with truffle sauce, and the venue's take on a wagyu roll. Some items can be added at an extra price, but very well worth it if you're looking for an experience and something tasty. Well portion sized too, you will leave here feeling pretty full. Service: Quick and prompt, the staff kindly checks you in, and the chefs serve the food. All done within a short 30 minutes, blink and you may miss the beautiful construction of all your dishes. A true Hidden gem, combing two themes so well and then giving a unique experience to boot. I highly recommend Sushi by Hidden, weather you are looking for a memorable experience or just a quick bite of some good food, or even just a quick escape for a bit for the day. I'm looking for any excuse I can to revisit. read more

Made a reservation here for lunch on a random Wednesday afternoon and was blown away by how the entire experience was amazing. The chefs were hilarious and entertaining while they were putting their 10 course masterpiece together in 30 min. But even after we were done, we were not rushed out to leave. From the ambiance to the food, and service... it was all 10/10 for me. Definitely recommend it especially if you're looking to try an omakase experience. read more

Ok so here's the thing- food is good but I'm not rushing back or rushing to their OG concept. Why? You get 30 minutes to rush through your food, so as you're trying to enjoy the flavors of the sushi they just described to you, they are ALREADY putting another piece on your table and explaining it or nudging you if for more water/wine. BYOL with $20 corkage fee but shoot.. you're going so fast, you might as well not even bring one. We barely finished a bottle of wine between the 3 of us. It's a cute speakeasy style omakase concept, but I'd rather splurge on some of the other companies' versions out there (which have been out of this world spectacular). read more

Celebrated my husband's birthday on Friday. We had to stalk the reservations to make this for dinner. It is two weeks out. Make sure to look out because there are not many seatings for the evening. We absolutely loved everything we tried. They do an amazing job explaining to you what you are about to eat along with the nice selection Al a carte afterwards. Honestly I was perfectly happy with their mock tail. It is a BYOB if you are looking for a drink with your meal. The corking fee was $20 dollars. Overall I would love to return. I didn't leave stuffed but overall it was still worth the money. read more

I would called this express omakase. It's a neat concept consisting of 12 courses, served in 30 minutes. All for $60 per person. It's an intimate dinner with 10 guests for each time slot. Reservations were easy to book through Resy. They had plenty of time slots available the week we wanted to go. There was 4 chefs in total working that night and they were quick. Putting out each course after one another. They also explained each course as it was put on our plate. Their routine was executed perfectly and we finished dinner a little under 30 minutes. Every course was delish and beautifully plated. My favorites of the night were the kampachi and the scallop. The chefs and the staff were also very friendly. Overall, would definitely recommend to try at least once. Keep in mind that you may not have time to have a full conversation with your dinner companion. read more

Review is written after my 2nd visit. Visits were about 4 months apart. This a good "omakase 101" experience if you are looking for an introduction or simply don't want to put out a lot of $$ for a more traditional experience. As the name suggests the tasting bar is hidden by what appears to be an art gallery. Your reservation will begin promptly and the time seems to fly by. You will be done in 45 min or so. It's what you (and I) signed up for but at times it does feel a bit rushed. Quality of the fish is fantastic. The chef's do a wonderful job of explaining each taste and you are welcome to engage & ask questions. There's even a bit of joking around which helps makes this a not so stuffy experience. The restaurant is BYOB (wine). read more
