Had a pretty miserable experience last summer at Kokomo. All 3 of my dining companions and I have worked the front of the house in fine dining establishments, so I think we are accurate judges of service, food, etc. We all agreed the service was lacking (slow to walk by after the food has been served), and a tad pushy (strongly upselling wine we didn't want). Meats we ordered were either over or under cooked, and most dishes were either uninspired or just missed the mark. I've stayed in the Mirage 3 times over the past 2 years and would strongly steer you towards Japonais which has failed to disappoint. Oh yeah, the Carnagie Deli is the real deal as well. Bon Appetit!

I was impressed by Japonais-- particularly when they whipped up a vegetarian hot pot (not on the menu at all) for a Brahman in our dinner party; all of the food was sublime.
If you like churrasco brasileiro, Samba is a carnivore's dream (great grilled meats, yummy cenoura com farofa, hearty feijoada...). Just be careful of too many caipirinhas-- they knocked us on our butts.
Kokomo's is pricey-- well, duh. But ohmygawd, the food there was awe-inspiring the last time we were there. Absolutely delectable.
