I arrived 1 hour before kitchen closed, & service was prompt, professional & shashimi was top notch & beautifully presented. I also had gyoza ( waygu) & Dynamite dumplings. Bar service on point. They also have a celebrated pastry-chef in-house, so I tried the 21-layer crepe citrus & the chocolate brownie , both excellent. Valet parking was prompt, if not a bit steep ($22.50).
Swanky, upscale décor. Don't sleep on this restaurant! A winner.

Jatoba was excellent, from the service to the food everything was held to high standards.

We started off with the Sashimi Platter & the Crispy Salmon Rice Cakes which are some the chef's specialty dishes. These were extremely fresh & delicious.

The drinks were very well crafted, nothing beats a crisp cocktail from a mixologist who knows how to pair flavours.

For the sushi, we had the lobster roll which was my favourite (I would have preferred it to not have asparagus as it paired well but in my opinion I could do without), the torched salmon nigiri was solid & the Bluefin Tuna maki just melts in your mouth from how buttery & fresh the tuna is.

We finished off with the tuna tartare cones which had a delicious soy emulsion. As for the dessert we had the caramel marshmallow plate & it was so delicious!

This place overall was fantastic, the owner Manolo really knows how to take care of his clients. The sommelier was very helpful during our dinner, the staff always came to clean the table & check up on us & they really go above & beyond for their guests.
