    A bit disappointing as compared to our visit to Yu last year. The sushi were still excellent but the Main dishes were average. Tuna was no longer available on the menu that evening. The sparkling wine was not served chilled.

    So both my Date and I decided that it was too noisy for us. It's the kind of restuarant, you need to shout for the other person to hear anything you're saying. Unfortunate, because we were looking forward to eating their, but not at the expense of speaking.
