Inexcusable. Definitely should have complained. I just saw that they delivered the same dish TWICE as part of a vegetarian tasting menu. Inexcusable. Definitely should have complained.

We didn't think we'd be able to sit for more than 3 1/2 hours. Sheng, it was the tasting (12 courses). We didn’t think we’d be able to sit for more than 3 1/2 hours.

I'm still shocked that they served the potato dish for the veg tasting twice. That's a pretty big gaffe, and the staff should've known about the error. Hopefully, Moto's menu will be better.

I just had a glass of white. <br /><br />It certainly felt like going to an art show and I think all the ingredients were top notch, except for the chocolate used at the end.

Too bad more of the flavors didn't work because it looks gorgeous and fun. Actually I thought it looked like a lot of food – do they offer a wine pairing?
