"We had reserved at Yohm for my birthday, one and a half weeks ahead of the event. Upon arrival we found that our table for three people was a small table for two, with an extra chair added to it. We were told this was “normal” for a Friday and Saturday night. To add insult to injury, the table was situated by the window, in a niche. The wind (or air conditioning? blowing from the window was icy cold (we had to put on our jackets and scarves , and the floor underneath my chair was vibrating so violently (from the extraction fan in the kitchen below or the air conditioning, perhaps? that I started to feel a little motion sick and had to change seats with one of my dinner companions. Forget what you see in the professional photos provided by the restaurant on TripAdvisor and on their own website in 2016: there is no warm light and there are no white tablecloths. Instead: a dark room with bare, uncomfortable square metal glass tables. Before coming to the restaurant, we had checked the menu online. It was about three pages long, boasting all kinds of appetizers, rolls, sashimi, sushi, and many hot dishes. Upon our arrival we found the menu to have been cut by at least half. This included no mango-duck as an appetizer, no fried duck rolls with a plum sauce, and many other items we had been looking forward to; in fact, there was no appetizer section at all. (I checked, and the menu has since been updated online . We asked the head-server to explain the dishes to us: was the tartare spicy? No, he assured us, it is not at all. The yellow-tuna-tartare arrived: extremely spicy (either from fresh chilies finely chopped into the tartare itself, or into the sauce that covered it . We ordered our main courses: one hot (duck , and two cold (sushi for two . The hot dish arrived, and we were told the sushi was coming out in a minute. Fifteen minutes later the hot dish was eaten, and the sushi was still not there. Then the server brought some soy sauce over, saying the sushi would be there in 2 minutes. It was another 5-8 minutes before the sushi came. No server or manager ever came up to explain the situation, or to apologize. I have worked professionally on a managerial level in gastronomy and can safely say that every single thing that happened to us was due to poor management (inexcusable timing between different guests' dishes, staff not knowing the menu and greed (seating too many people at small tables to turn more profit on a Friday/weekend . Thank you to the chefs – the food was delicious. As for the waiters and managers: the evening was disappointing and embarrassing for a restaurant that claims to deliver a high-end experience (and charges accordingly ."
