Midori

Found our way to Midori on Saturday evening. Unfortunately, the place was nearly empty at 7PM when we arrived - it better build some traffic very soon.

We started with two wraps, one a spicy crab wrap and the other a less-spicy ("crunchy") crab wrap. Both were perfectly fine, although the wrap itself was not really edible. My wife ordered a small salad which seemed pretty pedestrian.

For entrees she ordered two more sushi selections: a spider roll and a tuna roll. Both seemed to have fresh ingredients and were generously sized. I ordered a New Orleans roll, which is crab with baked crawfish on top, slathered with sauces. The portion was just plainly huge. While the menu indicates it was spicy, I did not find it so, although I enjoyed it greatly. When the sushi chef found out I liked heat, he sent out an order of "Playboy" gratis (a roll with shrimp tempura, avacado and spicy tuna). To be nice to the better half he sent her a complimentary "Playgirl" (sub crab for tuna from the Playboy.) Both were quite good, but at this point we both were sushi-overloaded.

Short wine and beer list, nothing terribly interesting there.

All in all, quite good food and excellent service. All of the above (one beer, two glasses of wine) totaled $55, with a $15 tip.

Resurrecting an old topic: I haven't gotten out to this place yet, but I've been craving Japanese. Does anyone have a more recent report, or even know for sure if it's still there?

i would call just to make sure...

That was part of my concern ... I did a quick Google run this morning and couldn't find many hits on them, and none with a telephone number.

Sure, thanks, Annemarie! What's weird is that they have such a low media profile. Nobody's mentioned them ... they haven't been discussed here except for this one thread. Yet it's a great location, and TP, whose judgement is excellent in my book, spoke highly of it.
