the D@T option wasn't that great
ho hum salmon followed by dry and tasteless chicken and then sorbet (but not everyone gets the same flavors -too bad so sad)
if they're trying to get us to reutrn during a more spendy period they chose their prix fixe wrong.
if one carefully orders only appetizers
off the main menu, it's reasonable- i had the
whitefish and golden beet carpaccio-delicious and then followed it with the lobster and crab salad- also very tasty. based on the other diners'
comments the main dishes are a little short of where they need to be.
also their wine menu was sadly lacking in depth.
the space is very zen with spare wood and glass tables set up to look like there's a river flowing across the center of the room. HOWEVER with a large group this neat looking table becomes the grand canyon, at 6ft wide you have to shout to hear people across the table while the next table over rubs shoulders with you.
with chez panisse at only 1 star i'm not entirely sure why bushi-tei even made it onto the radar.
will i go again? maybe but only if someone else is paying
