What an experience. We went last night and it was everything we had prepared for and more. The food was outstanding and the service fabulous. Our servers were polite and extremely knowledgable about the food and wine they were serving. All in all, an experience unlike one I have ever had before.
Realize in advance that you may be spending more money than you have ever spent for one meal. Once you come to terms with this fact, sit back an enjoy a food experience like no other. I can't even think of the words to describe the food I was putting in my life. Everything was made with such precision and the highest quality ingredients. The explosion of flavors and mix of sweet and salty was beyond anything I had ever experienced before. We did the tasting menu (a must) with the 3 wine pairing. The tasting menu was $125 pp and the wine pairing was around $40pp. It was worth every penny. We got about 12 apps, a pasta dish, the main course (goat), and a few desserts. If I had more than 750 characters I would explain more...
Wonderful experience! What a terrific job in unique food prep and interesting wine pairings. Staff was very friendly, informative. If you want a memorable night, this is it. With wine pairings, tax, tip: $500.....well worth it!
My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary at Komi, and our experience was simply phenomenal. The small plates were extremely imaginative and delicious Our entree, a bone-in ribeye for two, was so good that my husband was literally speechless. The service could not have been more inviting. The chef worked around our dietary restrictions to present us with such an amazing selection of dishes that made us feel so special. You will never forget your experience at Komi.
Komi excels at highlighting the flavors of food, often in eye-opening combinations. The chef has the signature skill, through his technique as well as the pace of the meal, of allowing the diner to savor and understand the beauty of the food that has been provided. This is not just a meal - it is an experience. Bravo for Komi!
I can't say enough about how wonderful this restaurant is. I consider myself a foodie but I didn't really understand how good food could be before I ate at Komi. I will go back every chance I get.
My high expectations were well exceeded. We had the tasting menu paired with five wines. My not easy food preferences (no meat, most not all seafood) were handled beautifully without incident or note. Each of the seemingly endless parade of small plates were unique, complex, and delicious. We were served plate after plate of sashimi style fish served with fresh herbs and light unobtrusive sauces that when popped in my mouth resulted in an explosion of unusual flavors that complimented each other, but also were individually interesting. Of note was 1. carpaccio of scallop with mustard/dill and shaved black truffle and 2. medjoul date with sea salt stuffed with mascarpone. We moaned with delight. I can't wait to (budget) to go back
