8. Sushi by Scratch Restaurants: New York

Price: Very Expensive
• Japanese speciality • Flatiron District
The Michelin Guide - "This eatery from Chefs/owners Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee is no ordinary omakase spot. The nigiri are not just supremely finessed but also infused with original touches—like the dab of sweet corn “pudding” and sourdough breadcrumbs that coat slices of hamachi. Even traditional pairings become transcendent with his house-fermented soy sauce. The iconoclastic vibe extends to the beverages, including cocktails, sake, and beer. Despite such originality, this "bar" does indeed adhere strictly to one tradition: a mini counter with seating for just ten to ensure a deeply personalized experience. Your time here is bound to pass in a blissful haze of convivial chatter."

    Was here last year, the experience and food was amazing. Decided to try again for my birthday, this time was somewhat disappointing. Ingredients quality is there, however I can taste the oil this time. The outer layer of most bites aren't crisp as last time. The server is mishandling presentations, unless it's one piece then they was able put it straight on the paper. Overall compare to my experience last year, very disappointed this year.

    Food was very good but service was lacking. Our plates were brought out at separate times with significant gaps between the two of us. At the end of lunch we were the last table still there and still had to request our bill.
