About me:
When it comes to choosing a restaurant, I always want a second opinion, so Yelp used to be a perfect solution (even though I never thought I would post my own reviews). Although their ranking system seemed overly manipulated, Yelp was a convenient source for restaurant info, so I constantly referenced it. But when highly rated restaurants on the site began to fall flat, I was inclined to set the record straight. Over 50 yelp reviews later, I had had enough and decided to create The Confoodant, a place where a network of trusted food enthusiasts could grow and post their opinions.
Is it just a blog?
Confoodant.com is still in development, but the network of confoodants has already begun to grow and are invited to post their reviews on The Confoodant blog until the real website is up and running. The blog doesn't provide the features that the full site will, but just think of it as a temporary home to start sharing restaurant tips with people you trust (and who trust you).

Stylish place, good for special occasions, but very quiet. The sushi is good, but the atmosphere is the main draw.
To add to that, it should be known that the atmosphere is visually arresting and festive, which is a huge contrast to the quiet calm that pervades the space. The dining room is absolutely huge and elaborately, but still tastefully, decorated in a traditional, yet stylish way.
The lack of noise and activity, contrary to what you would assume, was quite disquieting actually. It gave the place a very serious feel.
If you love big over-the-top restaurants, but hate the noise, you will love this place. If you're most comfortable in a cozy nest of chatter, stay away.
