Mino

Mino is a Japanese restaurant with a kaiseki menu for $59. This means we had an aperitif, sushi, 5 small entrees, a main and a dessert plate. Very pretty surroundings. The service was average, and the food took a while to come, whether you came at 6:30pm or 7:30pm you finished your meal at the same time.

The small entrees were the highlight, as they were beautifully presented and delicious too. The sushi was perfect. It's not often I get to taste so many things in the one meal! There is a choice of two menus, and within that there's more choice. I had the goshu menu and had:
