"My husband and I have been coming here since it opened over 6 years ago, it was one of my favorites as I love the Porcini Mushroom sauce with Filet Mignon and my husband loved the skirt steak. $27 for me $47 for him. I guess not so bad except it used to come in a pasta bowl with slices of meat and now mine comes in a salad bowl with the meat cut into small tiny pieces and mixed into the pasta so you are unaware that you only received 2.5 slices of filet and my husbands steak was so small, a small scoop of mashed potatoes completely covered in the onion string "garnish "of which he dusted off. Needless to say he went home and had a sandwich. 8 inches long by 2 inches to 1 inch at best at the tail less than 1/2 inch thick. The best part!!!! The runner brings our meals and I don 't eat grated cheese. Ever!!!! But my dish is covered in it. I was in shock. I said I don 't eat cheese he said not at all? Really!! He takes it back and now my husband has his plate and we must wait again. He won 't touch his because I don 't have mine. Needless to say when mine arrived his was ice cold. Waiter said he would find the manager... when I asked the waiter what had happened to the portion size , he said you can talk to him about both issues. He never came to the table. Not about the screw up with my food or the downgrade in the portion size of everything. The disrespect, not even to come see if we were ok! They just lost customers. We won 't be back. Money for most is scarce these days and I won 't waste it on that. They are not the only place around, as Islip and the neighborhoods around them have plenty of others to choose from."

"What a great meal. We came to celebrate my parents 49. Wedding day and staff, food, drinks and ambience were excellent. My sister coordinated Max (one of the managers) and Matsuhisa Vail took care of everything. From a custom printed menu to a large round table overlooking the Vail Mountains to bring our party of 10 (with two children under 4) and fantastic waiter Nathan (and many others who have helped bring / bus food and drinks) this was what a nice meal should be. We had so much good food. We talked to Edamame and Shishito-Pfeffern. The paprika came with a delicious diving sauce. The yellowtail Jalapeno was perfectly cut and tenderly dressed with Yuzu Soy. The other whole star was the bincho truffle with miso, chives and yuzu Dressing. Each piece has a generous amount of truffle at the top for a satisfying bite (and we have two pieces each) The cocktails are worth mentioning. My sisters enjoyed the gardener with gin, Serrano pepper, Cilantro, ginger and lime. I personally loved the whisky sours. I think it has Japanese whisky, something that made it pink in color and just a perfect mix. You have a huge list of sake, wine, champagne, etc., so you have a lot to choose. We tried three of their salads and the mushroom was the best followed by spinach and hearts of the palm. The Colorado lamb dogs were well cooked with a selection of antichucho sauce (smoky and a little spicy) or teriyaki (good, but sweet). The Alaskan Black Cod Lettuce Cup was good, but no favorite. The Japanese eggplant was also good, but the sauce used is very sweet. The nitrile and rollers were a nice way to finish the meal with super fresh fish. That was my most expensive meal of the year and the best. To family, good food and Matsuhisa!"
