“Obviously this place deserves a five star rating for the incredible food, but I also wanted to highlight the uniquely intentional yet down to earth atmosphere that chef Lee and his team have created as well. From the start, we were treated as if we were a small group of friends all coming together to have dinner with somebody we knew. The reception room with its speakeasy vibe, welcome drink, and moving works of art on the wall left the door open for everyone who was dining together that night to mingle and get to know one another. Once inside, conversation between us diners and the masters of their craft continued to elevate the experience from merely enjoying good food, to learning more about the techniques used for both the fish and sake to transform them into edible works of art. We can’t wait to come back again.”
“This is a special spot. When you arrive, you’re seated in an intimate waiting room, greeted and given champagne. Once ready, they walk you into the sushi room where you and the other guests (8 total) are seated at a beautiful counter. All the finishes and dish ware are hand crafted and purposeful. Jaime, the som, walks you through the beverage menu (get sake… any sake) and then the sushi begins. It’s all made in front of you and it will invariably be the freshest meal you’ve ever had in your life. The flavors are subtle, yet life changing. Each course isn’t more than a few bites, but they’re each exquisite. Sadly, you won’t want to eat sushi anywhere else ever again. The food is Michelin star worthy (and mostly sourced from Japan) and the chance to talk with the team about the food and their lives is a treat. Everyone there is passionate about their craft, personable and authentic. The meal isn’t cheap ($230/person before drinks) but if you are willing to savor every bite it’s absolutely worth it to celebrate a special occasion. Lennon, Ryan, Derek and Jaime make the experience truly memorable.”
“The closest I’ve felt to being back in Japan in the states. Every element from food, service, design is thoughtful curated. From the welcome bubbles to glassware to the lighting. Every bite is like a bite of heaven. Every sip is perfectly paired to go perfectly with each bite. The team are fun and friendly. You feel like royalty sitting at this sushi bar. It’s my favorite go to for an anniversary or birthday celebration.”
“One of the best omakase experiences among the many places we have been to in the world. The young chef is very proud and pays great attention to the ingredients and food. We were here for the valentine's day dinner, everything was perfect, we had a great conversation with the chef also. Recommended!”
“While not terrible, we found the found rather average. Of the 10 some odd bites (plus or minus a few, I don't recall exactly), maybe 1/3 were spectacular. The rest tasted like nothing special that we could have gotten at Sun Sushi. To be clear, I'm overly critical because of the price. If this were a $100 spot for 2, its an easy 5 star Google review. However, I find it highly problematic dropping $600+ and having multiple pieces of generic white fish sushi. To this extent, Silvers was wildly uninspiring. And especially compared to the other top spot in town, Sushi by Scratch, the clear winner is not Silvers. The service was wonderful and the atmosphere is very good, but the food itself? Meh. I don't know if it was just an off day or what, but expectations were high and the food very much under delivered.”
