Japonais - Chicago, IL Review

I first visited Japonais in June 2007 for my best friend's 21st birthday. This place is perfect for a celebratory occasion, particularly the open air patio located on the lower level of the restaurant. It faces the river and really sets the tone for a special evening. The food is delicious, although if you're on a tight budget you'll want to steer clear. (Keep in mind I'm young and don't have a large disposable income!) The seafood is all really fresh. Japonais' food is served family-style, so order entrees to share. I personally recommend The Rock appetizer (slices of steak that you personally cook to perfection on a steaming rock). A must-try place!
