ShinBay

This place was really great. Honestly - some of the best fish I’ve ever eaten, with chefs that clearly care about and take pride in their work (rightly so). Half way through we were convinced we would make this a regular occurrence, but that all changed upon arrival of the check. We knew the price of the food in advance, and we were prepared for the (high, in my opinion) price of the sake. What we were not prepared for was the $100 service charge and then … being told that the service charge does not include tips for the chefs. That ended up being close to $150 extra than what we would typically pay in any other restaurant. The food and the service is great, and we were both prepared to pay premium $. However, being stung for extra charges on top of an already expensive meal really put a downer on our night. Had a great time, but for the surprises and costs at the end I don’t think we’ll head back any time soon.

Absolutely amazing. The fish was so fresh. Everything tasted so good, but you have to adjust your expectations. This is meant to be an experience, it's not a place to over eat and get stuffed. Chef Shinji and his right hand man Suzuki were right in front of us. It was awesome being that close and seeing everything get prepped for you. Michael provided such great service with everything else, and was very attentive. They only serve a maximum of six people per sitting, so it was very intimate. We will definitely return.

I had the pleasure of joining my business partner for a meal here. It certainly is not your standard sushi experience by any means. The care and preparation that goes in to every dish is extraordinary. I don’t know that I’ve ever had such a meticulously orchestrated dining experience. Not for the faint of wallet, but definitely more of an experience than you will find elsewhere.
