Excellent sushi, excellent service. Sushi Kashiba's omakase experience is very much like in Japan, with your own sushi chef for a party of 2. The preparations were all delicious, using local seafood and seafood from around the world, including Japan, Spain, British Columbia, etc. I know very little about sake and asked the server for help in making a selection. She got me exactly what I wanted, despite my inability to describe it well. The omakase experience is not cheap, especially after adding drinks, service charge, and tax, but sometimes, you get what you pay for. It's not the kind of experience one can get just anywhere in the USA and I enjoy myself at Sushi Kashiba every time I go there.

The Thanksgiving dinner at The George was a nice experience. Attentive service, although the bar seemed to be slow at getting a cocktail to our table. Some inconsistency with portion sizes - a huge bowl of (delicious) brussels sprouts but just a tiny serving of gravy? Would have liked some stuffing. However everything was tasty.
