Quai Est

I booked a reservation nearly two months ago for my girlfriend's birthday and the wait was definitely worth it!

For those looking for a traditional omakase experience, jū-ni is not it. However, if you are looking for a modern spin on nigiri and can appreciate the creativity these chefs display, you will have a great time. We particularly enjoyed the layers upon layers of flavors and grating and freezing certain components of a dish that are typically served whole.

Omakase is required at this establishment. A menu with the Supplement (add-ons) awaits you when you are seated. Towards the end of the 12-course nigiri, your chef will hand you the A la Carte menu. Chef Dan assured us there was no pressure to order the Supplements or the a la carte items, which was appreciated. However, we decided the offerings were too good to pass up even though we were starting to get full; my girlfriend opted for the Supplement (Chu Toro, Shirayaki (unagi), and uni) and I decided to get the O-Toro (the fattiest part of the underbelly of the tuna - absolutely delicious and melts in your mouth instantaneously) and the wagyu, which is the highest grade of wagyu offered.

I won't go into detail about what we ate since the omakase menu varies depending on what is available that day; our chef told us most of their fish is flown in directly from Japan (from the famous Tsukiji Market in Tokyo!) and they receive new shipments twice a week. Chef Dan was the perfect combination of informative and funny, as he somehow managed to crack jokes in between telling us about each fish and the cooking techniques used. He also prepared for us a complimentary dish of tamago and lit a candle on it since he knew it was my girlfriend's birthday - a nice touch!

The service was also excellent - I don't think my tea cup ever dipped below the halfway point. I also noticed that when a fellow diner left her seat to use the restroom, the hostess immediately walked over to her seat and refolded her cloth napkin.

The only blemish in our meal for me was that I wish the dessert was something other than the pear served three ways. It tasted good and I did not dislike it, but I would have preferred something like a house made ice cream infused with a savory Japanese flavor, or mochi.

Tips:
-To avoid being late for your reservation, get to the area early so you have ample time to find parking!
- Order the Supplement and a la carte items! I can't quite lay a finger on it, but there is a little something extra offered in those items.

J'ai eu le plaisir de dîner dans un restaurant à l'ambiance hyper chaleureuse et à la vue tout simplement incroyable. J'ai été servi par Dorsaf et Romain, dont le service était irréprochable et attentionné. Les plats étaient non seulement délicieux, avec des saveurs parfaitement équilibrées, mais aussi magnifiquement présentés. Une expérience culinaire inoubliable dans un cadre exceptionnel. Je recommande vivement !

Super expérience dans ce restaurant face a la Marne.
Accueil chaleureux, service impeccable et plats délicieux.
Cadre agréable, parfait pour un dîner en couple, professionnel ou entre amis. Je recommande !

Un temps d'attente un peu long mais des plats savoureux avec une belle finition.
Le cadre du restaurant et splendide et la décoration d'intérieur très sobre.

Bon restaurant, les repas étaient très bien, j'ai particulièrement apprécié le saumon pour ma part. Les cocktails très bien aussi. Et prix global plutôt raisonnable.
La deco et l'ambiance sont très sympathiques, la vue sur la Seine est très appréciable.
On y est allé un samedi soir et on a enchaîné au club en bas, bonne ambiance, la musique est pas mal il y en a pour tous les genres.
