    We definitely have some mixed feelings about this experience… Initially, given the expensiveness of everything on the menu and how flashy the restaurant is made out to be, we imagined it was going to be an absolutely spectacular experience with incredible service, the best food on earth, and a crazy cool ambience… The service was absolutely fantastic, our server handled everything perfectly, he was kind, polite, attentive, basically an ideal server doing ideal work… Zero complaints there… The food was pretty good, nothing really stood out as something to complain about, if there was I'm sure our server would've taken care of it, but, when you're paying these kinds of prices, you expect the food to be spectacularly amazing, it was just good food… Definitely hyper overpriced… What was most surprising and somewhat disappointing was the fact that we went in on a Saturday night before 9 PM and the place was basically completely empty! There were literally only two other tables with patrons, there was no buzz, no vibe, no real ambience… Just three couples having dinner… it just felt really weird. The place is nice, and I don't intend to be rude or mean, but it just feels cheap… It doesn't feel like an expensive restaurant… It doesn't feel like a fine dining establishment, it just feels like a corner sushi spot… And our corner sushi spots actually have better food! I don't know, I wish our experience had been a better one, I wish we were more impressed with the place, I wish we were more impressed with the food, and I wish they hadn't overpriced everything, but it is what it is… For any of you looking for a good sushi spot, there are several others that have even better sushi, much better ambience, and just as good service… I can think of a dozen off the top of my head!

    Called them a few days prior to my reservation to let them know that it’s for a special occasion (birthday). The guy answered and said that he will note it down under my reservation name. When it came to dinner, things were good until towards the end when we asked them for the bill. I was still waiting and hoping they didn’t forget about the “note”. Even after I paid, no cake or anything. Annoyed, I had to ask one of the server and they said they had no idea about any “note”, but still gave us free cake since I said it’s a birthday dinner. I just feel so disappointed and that it wasn’t a surprise for my boyfriend anymore when I have to ask them. What was the point of me calling then?? There were at least two tables that came for birthday celebration and servers/waiters gave them cakes with fancy candles.

    This is our 3rd time visiting Kaviar. The cut of fish on the sushi rice is significantly smaller than our first visit in June of 2022. I didn’t mind the price back then because the portions were decent. Not so much anymore. The service and ambiance was still great. Unfortunately won’t be returning, I can’t justify the price for the portion of fish on the sushi rice. Also out of A5 wagyu which is one of the other reasons we were visiting.
