Kaizan or Pearl

[davidbdesilva]

Spending the night at the Sofitel and taking the wife out for an anniversary dinner. I have read some pretty positive reviews of Kaizan and have looked at their website. Our 24th anniversary is coming up on the 21st and I was wondering if it is at that level? For our anniversary I usually take my wife out some place that is both visually beautiful and has very good food (recently took her to XIX (again) for her birthday, which she loves). Kaizan looks beautiful and the multi-course menu's sound really interesting.

Pearl also looks visually nice but I'm actually less impressed with their menu. It seems to perhaps be a step down from Kaizan? So, are either at the level that you would take your beautiful wife of 24 years who has great taste to for you anniversary? Other suggestions welcome (but please, spare the Le Bec, Fountain, etc. suggestions). Thank you!

Kaizan is closed. Makes it easy, doesn't it?!

I've only been to Pearl once and was unimpressed. I'm not sure it's return-worthy, much less anniversary-worthy.

Thanks for the heads up on both these places. As it ends up, we will be going to Buddakan, a place we've never been to in all these years. It fits the bill for sleek an sexy, Asian fusion, and from what I've heard, good food. I think a meal there followed by some dancing and then retiring at the Sofitel will make for a good anniversary.
