replying to u/R_M_T: Sorry you had that experience at Cesar. I’ve been twice but didn’t feel pressured with the add ons at all. They did a presentation at start of order to show what was offered and left it at that. Your Yoshino photos are 🔥

replying to u/tickingboxes: I’m curious what you consider a terrible experience?
“Overall the food was fine, just not extraordinary. Pairings were truly awful, service was surgical and cold (as was the space), sups; while them not being overly pushy, were really overpriced relative to similar ones at other places. Too many hiccups for a”

“Atera and Cesar had great food and the service was good/polite but a lot more formal than what you're looking for I think.”

replying to u/balldem824: Fair enough, the food was excellent. They kept asking me if I wanted the add ons and went on and on about how good their white truffle was on the monaka dish and uni toast. They didn’t mention any prices either. Their service had multiple issues too but they waived one of my corkage fees which was nice. Thanks, my photo skills are very subpar.
“For what it’s worth… the truffle add on is ridiculously good.”

“Cesar on the other hand was disappointing. Great through the raw seafood courses but went downhill afterwards.”

replying to u/Big_Split_9484: Thank you for a descriptive answer! I noticed lately people like to brag about Le Bernardin “not being the most inspiring” 3 star Michelin, but tbh I’d love my first 3* to be classic, consistent and seafood focused. I’m not sure if we will go in 2025 but apart from Jungsik, this is my local, dream restaurant to go to.
“Cesar was my fav meal of 2024 and while it isn't 3* i felt it was much better than le bernardin in terms of consistency and taste”
