Best Creative Japanese Restaurants in West Town

This was a lovely experience. We went for the brunch buffet which was a good price point. Everything tasted spectacular. The sushi was exceptional quality; no fishy smell or taste. Great selection of food and the ambience was wonderful. Will be returning. 

The Chef, Sushi and Presentation were outstanding. The Bartender was friendly, creative and the drinks were delicious. The host seemed a bit off and/or they were short staffed to manage the flow of the evening. There are 3 settings or stages to an evening at Suite 202. #1: Cocktails at the Bar. #2: Sushi at the Chef Counter #3: After dinner Drinks in the Lounge. We added the Saki Pairing which I would advise against. The saki was good but I doubt it was paired with the menu and the pours seemed short. The layout of Suite 202 was interesting and unique. However, the seats are tight during the Sushi seating and having to order drinks or request additonal Saki should have been easier than it was. Overall we had a great time but with a few tweaks the evening could have been better: 1: It would have been nice to follow along with the meal. There should either be a printed list or board with a listing of the tastings for the evening. Scratchs does a great job with their board. 2: The bartender needs an assistance to take orders for the people sitting with the chef. Scratches has a full time bartender assigned to the people sitting for Sushi. The space is a bit tight to have an additional person beside the Chef behind the counter but someone could have popped behind every few minutes to keep things flowing. Twice we had to call out to the host to request either Saki or a mixed drink. Other places are better at anticipating and ask the guest before they need to ask themselves. Lastly, location, location, location. The Lincoln Hotel is in the heart of our favorite neighborhood. The rooftop bar with views of the Lake and Sunset are some of the bests in the city.

Staff and chef was super attentive! Chef walked us through bite by bite, the flavors went really well together, and the experience didn't feel rushed. Thanks for making my best friend's birthday so special!
