Eating at Mizuna, after reading reviews here, inspired me to write my first review. It absolutely lived up to all of the 5-star ratings. We recently moved here from the SF Bay Area and this place rivals the places we've been to in Berkeley and SF. The macaroni and cheese with lobster is named the best in the country for a very good reason - it's amazing. Generally I'm not a fan of beets, but the salad with goat cheese was outstanding. The warm spinach salad with brie was divine. I had the veal for my main course and it stopped our conversation - I had to just savor it! It was cooked to perfection and the accompanying baby asparagus, wrapped in prosciutto and then phyllo, was glorious. The flavors and textures were so fun! My husband had the beef tenderloin and it hardly needed chewing - just melted in your mouth! And our friend had the halibut with crispy rice in a curry lemongrass sauce that was just so fresh and clean tasting. We finished off our meal with the warm chocolate cake, the ice cream sampler, and the toffee cake - all outstanding. All great ways to end the meal.
Pros: Ambience, changing menu to reflect seasons, service, flavors
