    Such incredible food! Morimoto was one of our absolute favorite meals in Napa. My husband ordered the chef’s tasting menu and loved every single course — especially the nigiri, which he said was the best sushi he’s ever had. I ordered a Cosmopolitan (delicious), the gyoza (the best I’ve ever eaten), the braised cod (buttery and perfect), and the sorbet flight (refreshing and light). The portions were spot-on for a tasting-style meal. Service was great, the restaurant was beautiful and clean, and the bathrooms were easy to find. Our only complaint was the noise level — it was very loud, and we found ourselves raising our voices to talk. Overall, though, it was a fantastic dining experience and we will definitely be back. Delicious food, attentive service, and truly memorable dishes!

    We came here to celebrate my bday and they ruined our dinner celebration. The service was terrible. They brought all the food out at once including appetizers, sushi and main course. They came out all at once. We have the sake flight but they didn’t explain to us the different kind of sake. The manager was the one who serve us the sake and he told us he is new so he doesn’t know what type of sake it is. They rushed us thru dinner and give a check before she bring out the “birthday dessert “. It was a terrible dining experience. They destroyed Morimoto reputation. I Would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone .

    The entire restaurant; floor, walls, ceiling, is concrete which makes the room rediculously loud. It made our dinner for 6 totally impossible to have a conversation. For $550 you think they would design it to be a place you can go with friends and enjoy talking. Very disappointing! The food and wait staff was great!

    The omakase was Amazing!!! The only thing I didn't care much for was the desert. We did get the smores desert because we seen someone else get it, it was awesome. Seating is pretty close, we talked with the couples on both sides of us. If your familiar with Mark Wienes,I made his face after almost every single bite and I stopped just shy of licking my plate clean. We just got to Napa but this one is going to be hard to beat.
