Ebisu

We were very fortunate to walk in and get a table for 90 minutes which then extended to 2 hours and instantly I was impressed by the sleek black interior. Staff was exemplary and offered exceptional service from our main waiter to servers of every dish.

We enjoyed a couple of bottles of Montessu, a Sardinian red wine and Antipodes to accompany the Taster Menu.

It was breaktaking as each dish was presented before us starting with the Chatham Islands paua with kina mayo, salmon roe, unami glaze and wakame, followed by a platter of seared king salmon tataki with jalapeño dressing, hamachi sashimi and treffle beef roll, and then scampi kataife with wasabi tatare and then a seared Hokkaido scallop with yuzu kosho butter and mango pomegranate salsa.

The second half of the symphony of flavours opened with salty citrus sorbet and then continued with miso glazed tooth fish, broccolini, seared duck breast with Kina mayo and an assortment of housemade pickles, wagu scotch fillet on wafu sauce and furikake rice balls. The crescendo of the menu was a dessert of a yuzu bombe Alaska.

Every single dish and morsel or mouthful of food was exquisite and transported me on a Ebisu food journey. We were highly impressed and moved by such an elevated dining experience of excellence! Highly recommended with distinction!

Fantastic quality, beautifully presented modern Japanese food. Came here early evening on a Saturday and due to them being quiet, it was lacking a little in atmosphere. The food and service did make up for this though and whilst it was a little more on the expensive side, it was good value for money and in line with what you would expect to pay for this type of restaurant.

Amazing tasting and presented Japanese food, our experience start to finish was exceptional.

Excellent service and amazing food. The waiter takes care of your needs and breaks down the menu for you. Must try the Eggplant and Teriyaki Tofu, probably the best eggplant I've had.

I considered renting a flat downtown just so I could be closer to this restaurant. But then I reconsidered as I'd probably go into debt quite quickly. Not from renting a downtown flat, but from spending all of my pennys at Ebisu. Well done on every front team. Keep up the incredibly high standard of food, service and overall eating experience.
