Even though the restaurant was empty, they hostess let us know that the only tables available were the outdoor tables by the waterfall.  They had a minimum of $150 pp, so we figured we might as well splurge on a meal and get the tasting menu.\n\nThe service was great, as were the drinks.  The food definitely did not meet my expectations.  Perhaps the fish in Houston is fresher, but the food at Mizumi just didn't do it for me.  \n\nThey asked if we had any food allergies, and I told them I was allergic to peanuts.  Since I couldn't have the dessert that was part of the tasting menu, they brought out sorbet for me (and charged me for it!!).
