MC & I meet up with one of her cousins and his girlfriend and went to Sushi Nakazawa. I have wanted to go since MC pointed out an article about the place was opening. She knew I liked the Jiro Dreams of Sushi documentary and highlighted the connection. The problem was we never got reservations, until today.
Reservations were late so MC and I went back to Employees Only for a drink first. It was nearby so we figured we would try it again. We were lucky and it wasn’t too crowded. We got seats at the bar. I had two delicious Whiskey Smash’s. I would drink more of them if they weren’t as time intensive to make myself. MC was more adventurous and picked something interesting off the menu. For round two she let our awesome bartender pick something out for her. Both drinks were good however I still loved the Whiskey Smash. After drinks we walked over to Sushi Nakazawa.
Dinner was better than expected and that is saying a lot since we had high hopes. By far the best sushi experience I have ever had. I opted for the Sake pairing to go along with the dinner. It was a good choice. MC opted for wine however there was enough Sake tasting to go around. Dinner was a big splurge however totally worth it.
I will try not to discuss the piece of cake and two cup cakes I may or may not have had at Magnolia bakery afterwards.
Overall a fantastic evening. The only downside would be the Uber fail. I tried Uber for the first time and the driver canceled on me before they could pick us up. Ended up being less of an issue since the Subway showed up quick. I will give Uber another try at some point. Hoping they are more reliable than one Friday late night instance cancelation.
