How to begin? Recently, on a business trip I went to Japonais in N.Y.. So I am from Toronto although have actually been to New York City a number of occasions. My family and I really enjoy the great number of cafes. The staff at this particular restaurant was incredibly pleasant!The space is sleek and somewhat lovely. The event was fantastic. The food arrived really quick. Certainly one of our gripes would be the plating was not that amazing. The idea was decent though just didn't offer you that "wow" factor. Even though virtually no genuine complaints. From the Two starters Two main courses we ordered, I would say 3 as very good & One as extremely okay The cost was what we estimated although perhaps a couple of bucks too overpriced. We all had a great night! So refreshing as there are countless New York City eating places that are lousy. Also was to experience a NYC eating place without too much attitude. I am a massive fan of the place.
