Morimoto
Morimoto Review
Stunningly expensive dishes created by celebrity chef Masaharu Morimoto (of the Food Network's Iron Chef) are served in an elegant, slightly futuristic setting. White plastic tables and benches glow beneath multi-colored lights; the ceiling is undulating bamboo. Omakase (tasting menus), $40-$80 at lunch and $80-$120 at dinner, are well worth the expense, as is the sushi, sliced with special knives Morimoto has handcrafted in Japan. Authentic and creative a la carte dishes include toro (tuna) with caviar and wasabi and tempura with Gorgonzola sauce. Reservations are recommended.
