    Food was amazing and the staff were very attentive. I loved the decor. I understand they are renovating downstairs but good job for adapting to these difficult times. My partner and I had a brilliant experience ...

    Brought my girlfriend here for dinner on her birthday as she has a degree in Japanese and has always really enjoyed the culture and food. We were seated at a gorgeous marble table with comfortable chairs. Soft music was playing and the atmosphere was cosy and relaxed. The servers were incredibly attentive and polite. I've noticed that some have given negative reviews due to the time it takes for the food to arrive and this is true - service isn't quick and if we had made plans for after the meal perhaps then it would have been an issue. However, we had no plans and got to enjoy some time together to talk and enjoy drinks as we waited on our dinner. We were in no rush, but in any case, the food was entirely worth the wait. Our dishes were obviously made fresh and with great care and attention to detail. Generous portions, beautiful flavours and visually stunning. Often times in restaurants I've found fast service takes precedence over food quality - no doubt a result of customers clamouring for instant gratification and venues itching for fast customer turnover. In contrast, this felt like a calming oasis where good conversation, atmosphere and food made our dinner an experience in and of itself. We had a delightful time and were highly impressed. Thank you Oshibori for a perfect birthday treat for my partner!
