All was good, except server was initially involved (for 10 minutes!) with 2 customers who seemed to be having a non-business related encounter. Frustrating.

Was so looking forward and unfortunately somewhat disappointed. Very loud. We did the omakase and it was very hard to hear the different servers as the food came out. They talked too soft for the loud environment and we always had to ask them to repeat. The food was very good though.

I dine on sushi frequently so I know which dishes I like. I was surprised by my ignorance of choices at Morimoto Napa. When my order arrived, every dish was surrounded with rice. Nothing had texture. I thought I was ordering maki, something surrounded by nori, and a dish with texture. I don’t think I’ll return.
