Wonderful evening out
Saturday, November 05, 2005
Sakagura is an very unusual place. I cannot state with certainty that it is authentic, but it certainly is unlike any other Japanese restaurant in New York. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. The bartenders are very friendly. We asked for help picking out Sake, and the bartender gave us a free tasting. Be careful when deciding on a bottle Sake as some are very expensive. The food is very good, but the portions are tapas-sized. The veal tongue is outstanding as is the cod. The duck, filet mignon, monkfish liver are also quite good. The tea is nothing special, but people don't come here for tea. When making a reservation, if you don't specify that you want a table, you may be seated at the bar. However, eating at the bar here is a pleasant experience. The prices can get high, as the portions are small.
Pros: Food/Drink, Decor, Service
Cons: Price
