My wife and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary here on a bustling Saturday evening.
Food: we ordered the omakase set menu plus some scallops.
The first course was the seared scallops, cooked prawn and pickled okra amalgamated by a delicious corn puree. Both my wife and I were amazed with the way the corn flavour brought all the others together. Delicious!
Course 2 was the kingfish sashimi which was fresh and balanced.
We then followed up with the barramundi in Dashi broth. The crispy skin of the barramundi was a delightful surprise and the mushroom filled dashi broth added real body to the whole dish. The scallop special was especially yummy with a miso bbq sauce.
Seafood done, we moved to the Wagyu which was perfectly cooked and succulent all the way through. The eggplant sauce that it was served on added a superb earthiness which really made it my favourite dish of the meal.
Finally dessert, whilst we didn't have the Dragon Egg we were delighted nonetheless. The hazelnut mousse coupled with the chocolate crumb and raspberry jelly cubes topped off the meal without making us feel like we overate.
Value: for $85 pp (minus the scallops) this is a bargain in the Rocks for such good food in a high end restaurant.
Service: Perfect as expected despite the high volume of patrons on a busy Saturday and added step of QR check in for contact tracing. Whilst we were limited to a 90 min seating the food came out at a great pace and we didn't feel rushed :)
had a great dinner at sake’s. Service was so so, price pretty standard for Japanese dining. Everything tasted amazing & loved the lighting in the restaurant. Favourite dish was the new style sashimi!! Definitely order it if you’re ever there :)
Sake was a choice for our sit down team dinner after a milestone achieved in hip surgeries. It couldn't be any better. The crowd was the people I hang with on most days, the service was impeccable.
Worthy mentions were the nori crisps, hiramasa kingfish, shumai and goma (pictured).
Amazing staff, layered cuisine and a vibe to remember.
Kudos.
