I have frequented this restaurant before and have found that the qualities that once made this restaurant superior are now lost. En's specialty is Tofu and they were out of two of the favorite tofu dishes. The waiter tried to have me order a Tofu dish that I did not want without telling me that the two dishes I did want were not available. I should have walked out. This waiter was brash making fun of my mother with another waiter laughing out loud in Japanese because she didn't like the dish she had ordered. I ordered a dashi crab soup that was full of salt and a fishless piece of crab. I gave it to my husband because it was awful. I ordered the Perch which was fishy with a cheap sweat sauce that I hardly touched, The waiter brought out a salad that wasn't ordered thinking this too was funny until I called over the Manager saying this meal and the waiter were unacceptable. For the price this meal was bad news. The only thing redeeming about this experience was the promise never to go back.

My favorite restaurant in the city. It is expensive but it has great ambiance, beautiful dishes and everything tastes wonderful.

I ate there with my wife. We had the EN Kaiseki set menu. It was a delicious plethora of food that we were not familar with. I was way more impressed with this place than I had been at Nobu which is kind of interesting since Nobu get's such good reviews but I guess it's because you are getting what you expect there and most people are happier with that and they are on TV.
