Maison Akira Restaurant

Whenever I have friends or family visiting I always bring them to this restaurant. The service is great and the food is yummy. It is expensive, though. The brunch is good too.

The first time I ate here was for Valentine's Day. Probably not the best time to come -- the meal ended up costing a fortune, which was expected on that day, but it was still a bit too much. The food was great -- probably the first time i've ever had foie gras (sp?), and it was delicious! The other dishes were great too, but for that much money? I don't think any food should cost that much. Anyways, friends tell me that they have a great Sunday Brunch (like the Ritz Carlton Huntington), but of course, it may be on the expensive side.

If you like French-Japanese food - you have to try Maison Akira at least once in your lifetime. I had a prix fixe (around $50 or $60) and every morsel of food was an absolute conversation piece. Also, Chef Akira's legendary miso marinated sea bass is quite a treat. The food was wonderful, and the service was impeccable. Best of all, you can wear you jeans and you won't fee under dressed!

PROS: great food - beautiful ambiance
CONS: none

A wonderful evening! July 22 was our third visit and as enjoyable as the previous two. Service was friendly and efficient. We had a taste of the house smoked Atlantic salmon, which was delicious. I had two specials, the lobster salad with a touch ofcaviar and the New York steak dabbed with roquefort cheese. Monique had the special foie gras appetizer and the Baby Rack of Lamb. Our entrees were cooked to perfection with sauces that compliment, not overwhelm. We added a glass of Merlot to round out a perfect meal. - eem
